Bandit (Japanese: バンデット) is a steel roller coaster located at Yomiuriland in Inagi, Tokyo, Japan. Built by Togo, it opened in March 1988 and was the world's complete-circuit tallest roller coaster and the world's fastest roller coaster (until ShockWave opened three months later at Six Flags Great America and broke the full-circuit height record and until Great American Scream Machine opened one year later at Six Flags Great Adventure and broke the speed record).
