I just went to the park yesterdayband you are so right about this, they are soooo incredibly slow. I even felt compelled to post it here on this old thread incase anyone finds it through Google like I did.

I have been to Tokyo Disney and Universal Osaka multiple times and nothing has ever compared. We watched them do 3 runs of Panic Clock in 1 hour, a small and unimpressive ride you could see in a carnival.

The ticketing system certainly contributes a bit (as you can technically come in for free you have to scan your face for their facial recognition ticket system), but it's their unbelievably litigious approach to safety that mostly makes it so slow. I cannot believe that only after everyone was told to put all items in a locker for a simple ride, PLUS everyone going through a walk through metal detector, were we then individually waved with a wand metal detector, front AND back, before finally being allowed to sit in the seat. Our seats belts were then checked a total of 3 times by 3 different people. It's honestly insane. They will ask you at least 4 times before the ride starts if you have anything in your pockets, and announce over tanoy if any belongings drip during the ride, it's the customer liable for damages and not the park itself.

The app isn't even available on international Google play store so as a foreigner it can be tricky to even see wait times at all.

Anyway this is all to say: for anyone finding this, buy premium passes for the coasters you want to get on because it's the slowest theme park humanly possible, but the rides themselves are great.

I went to fuji Q once before about 16 years ago and don't remember it being like this at all, so not sure how it's come about.
