Bandit is a steel roller coaster located at Yomiuriland in the city of Inagi, near Tokyo Japan. Built in 1988 by Togo company, it was the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world before the opening of Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point one year later. It was also the last non-hypercoaster to hold that distinction.
