Bandit Front Row POV Yomiuriland | One of Japan's Most Famous Roller Coasters!

[@Silvarret]

This ride is an absolute banger. One of the most underappreciated coasters out there imo.

[@t-shirt7549]

Pls u should make a bandit style ride in planet coaster 2!!!

[@matthewmiller7207]

An absolute banger. ... Perhaps literally. Considering it's TOGO.

[@maxhagenauer24]

It's underappreciated because very few enthusiasts have ridden it.

[@JohnnySacc]

A hilly, lush Japanese park in planet coaster 2 would go hard

[@bowydcoasting]

why is the pacing so good...

[@aaronlesko1929]

That is an insane headchopper at 1:29

[@CubbyTech]

Beautiful day for a Bandit ride. Bucket list coaster for sure.

[@OwenNelsonThemeParkNut]

This is another coaster decently high on my big bucket list of roller coasters, looks like one of the best terrain coasters in the world too. The way it goes through the forest of trees and bright green hills make it look so beautiful, definitely one of my higher bucket list coasters.

[@Cdubbz12]

Is it just me or do those Togo transitions from curves and turns look EXTREMELY bouncy? 😂😂

[@OwenNelsonThemeParkNut]

⁠@@Cdubbz12They look bouncy in some parts but Bandit still looks like an incredibly fun coaster in my opinion. 😊👍

[@GuyT-z7o]

Oh the good old days. When it took less than a year to conceive and build the next record holder, Magnum XL-200.

[@Castro-sl5qw]

It looks very graceful.

[@654jimbob654]

It's subtle but the terrain helps the coaster carry its speed so well throughout the whole layout. Need to get on this thing when I'm next in Japan.

[@tractorgt]

Nice to see some Togo's still out there! Only one I've been on was the stand up 80's coaster "King Cobra" at King's Island.

[@detroitdiezel7856]

Me too. I loved that thing!

[@MrHeydany]

What a beauty ! So soothing to watch. Looks like it could go on and on and on ...

[@billchief397]

Japans own version of their beast coaster

[@krs12]

One of my favorites during my visit! Just good fun!

[@Vice4Life]

Bandit is so odd and has such a cool setting that I have to ride it someday. I hope I can make it to Japan before the old Togo bites the dust. Great POV, as always.

[@jaredstivers]

Godfather to the Hyper coasters.

[@GardeBlaze]

I'm surprised. For a Togo coaster, I was expecting a rough ride, but outside of a couple sections the ride looks to be rather smooth. Plus it looks like a fun and fast ride, too!

[@detroitdiezel7856]

Looks pretty smooth for a Togo.

[@gyeongchankim5423]

feels like a steel version of the beast

[@coltonwiggs1594]

That helix looks insane.

[@massmike11]

Good lord it hit that helix hard

[@Aftermath779]

That coaster has some good pacing

[@iliketrains3546]

On my trip to Japan I had to choose between doing this and Thunder Dolphin on my final day in Tokyo but I kinda regret not finding a way to do this as because it actually looks really good

[@maxhagenauer24]

I doubt it actually has any airtime but the speed and big drops and intense helix of this thing reminds me a lot like Titan, super fun.

[@Dirkschneider]

The good Bandit 😊

[@CoasterStudios]

the only Bandit that matters

[@Scoaster86]

to be fair, it can't really be worse than the other one

[@dth2brny121]

For a Togo, this ride is rather graceful. It doesn't look like it's injury-inducing like that OTHER ride named Bandit that's in Germany, either 🤣

[@rickwhitescarver8526]

You can tell they kinda sorta used computers for transitions. But they obviously had no clue how fast the train would be going. Abrupt lift hill into the brake run catches slow trains I guess. But our train was hauling the mail. Maybe it’s a in an area that weather effects the pace a bunch? Agree with others that it’s kinda like a steel version of the beast

[@amusementparkperson4474]

Ik this is a different topic but how do you guys feel about the future of SFGAm post-merger? I feel like it is very good because they got close to capacity and even hit capacity this year. They also did a complete refurbishment to Batman and are getting a new entrance. I also think that they wouldn’t remove many rides b/c pre-merger Six Flags just did clear house of many of the expensive and problematic rides.

[@CoasterStudios]

we think (and hope) that the park will get better!

[@soap.3971]

You should try visiting genting skyworlds in malaysia, it was suppose to be a 20th century fox theme park but fox backed off from the contract due to disney. Dont worry it isnt as hot as genting is located on a mountain. In Ur mission ferrari video u did talk about skyworlds for a minute to adress the uncomplete sfx coaster in their park. U should come ! U should also pronounce it as ghenting and not djenting it will make alot malaysians happy!

[@CoasterStudios]

I would love to go once Mad Ramp Peak opens!

[@aloiscool]

Looking at the thumbnail, I thought it was Vortex at KI for a second

[@EKThrills]

can you PLEASE do another coaster parody! PLEASE!

[@出町柳-c9y]

This is a beautiful ride if you go at night as well, especially during the winter when they have something called jewelumination going on. It is much smoother than expected, but the seats are the worst part of the ride imo.

[@ryanpiotrowski2353]

Should've gotten a B&M

[@stephanlambert6207]

Is that the log train type from RCT3?

[@drdewott9154]

Nah but does look like logs. Though this ride uses the same track type as the Stand up coaster in the Roller coaster tycoon games as it was built by the same company that popularized the type, TOGO.

[@matymil]

My biggest takeaway from the pic is why does this park have two ferris wheels 🤔

[@CoasterStudios]

they built a second ferris wheel next to the old one so they could get it open before they close down the original.

[@MurphTheEngineer10]

i will always click on a video of this coaster. thats final

[@maxhagenauer24]

Technically the 1st Hyper Coaster before Magnum because it has a 200 ft drop.

[@ravenwing199]

It very obviously doesn't.

[@maxhagenauer24]

@ravenwing199 The elevation has to do with the drop I'm pretty sure and the elevation is 255.9 ft. The drop is larger than the height noticeably as well.

[@iliketrains3546]

@@maxhagenauer24 There is no single drop on the ride that clears 200ft so its not a hyper. There are a few terrain coaster that have elevation changes twice or three times the ride's actual height. For example Phantom's revenge has a 300ft+ elevation change but it isn't a giga in the slightest

[@maxhagenauer24]

@@iliketrains3546 Does elevation change mean the vertical distance from a low point of the ride to a high point of the ride?

[@ravenwing199]

@@maxhagenauer24 yes. The low point on Bandit is towards the end of the ride.

[@Ntwobee]

You're in Japan???

[@CoasterStudios]

we went in September :)

[@Maselino]

How come it is only 50 meters tall, but so long and still has a ton of energy left when it reaches the final breaks?

[@matthewstampley3963]

Terrain differences

[@jmaindigo6641]

It is actually 78 meters between its highest and lowest points. 51 meters is just the lift hill height not counting the valley descent. Hence the momentum.

[@Maselino]

@@jmaindigo6641 Oh I overlooked that! Thanks for the info :)

[@Mr._Kagle]

According to RCDB, the height difference in elevation between this coaster's highest and lowest points is 78 meters (255.9 feet) because of the terrain it's built on. This is a terrain coaster in every sense of the term.

[@dubcheck2943]

I was here for the slow japanese lift hill, disappointed ;)

[@AvoidTIMtation]

This is certainly a layout lol

[@notaduck--73]

Hello

[@davidgreene6607]

Will there be a review for this coaster?

[@CoasterStudios]

I posted one a while back after I visited in 2019. While the footage in it might not be that great, the content of what was said in it is still accurate. We will have additional thoughts though to come in a future Yomiuriland vlog. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6vPamSPeZxmY8k

[@DJMasse]

Turn off the stabilization next time 😂

[@CoasterStudios]

it actually is a pretty smooth roller coaster. it has one jolty turn, but the rest of the time its fine. the way it rides along the track doesn't come with any vibration or roughness

[@Amstradtvr-s3o]

Looks even more boring than The Big One
