Fujiyama Roller CoasterAs we waited in line for two hours to ride this beast, it stated that it was the tallest roller coaster in the world at 259 feet. However, I have since learned that it only held the world record until May 2000. Regardless, Denver had a blast on the ride, on Jason had a blast watching Denver's face during the ride.
Too Much Amusement ParkNext was a day of exploring the Hakone area around scenic Lake Ashi...

I agree with the Kaspers of Logan. I love the red wine and green tea pools. How cleaver. You guys do look a little out of place in the swimming pools. Have Fun!!
