Twist Coaster Robin (ツイストコースター　ロビン) was a steel roller coaster located at Yomiuriland in Inagi, Tokyo, Japan. The attraction was only operated in March 2014. It was closed and ultimately demolished after an incident in its opening month.

While it shared similar elements to El Loco roller coasters, this roller coaster was designed and built by Japanese company Sansei Technologies, the largest share holder of S&S Worldwide.
