Mt. Fuji is canceled! Well… at least at EPCOT. We’re zooming into one of EPCOT’s most thrilling unbuilt attractions—the Japan Pavilion’s Mt. Fuji roller coaster. Why was it scrapped? What could have been? And most importantly, how would we bring it back today?

Amanda, is here to take on the project with Stephen, bringing a fresh take to this legendary what-if. Meanwhile, Jenny is back for commentary, ready to dissect every twist and turn. And because we can’t resist, we’re throwing in some K-pop idols along the way—because who wouldn’t want a little extra star power in their theme park experience? (Yes, we know K-pop is Korean, but trust us—there’s a reason it’s making its way into our Japan attraction, and it actually makes sense.)

Join Stephen, Kaity, Marissa, Amanda, and Jenny as they explore the ambitious plans for this high-speed, storytelling-infused attraction. From cultural immersion to breathtaking coaster design, this ride had it all—except Disney never built it. But don’t worry, we’ve come up with a brand-new, completely original attraction to take its place, and trust us, you’ll want to grab a Lightning Lane for this one ASAP.
