Twist Coaster Robin

Twist Coaster Robin was a custom installation of an El Loco model roller coaster.[2] The coaster was built by a collaboration of Sansei Technologies[1] and S&S Worldwide (the usual manufacturer of El Loco coasters, for whom Sansei Technologies is a majority owner).[2][3] The coaster had a total of two inversions (an inline twist and a dive loop).[1] In addition, the coaster had a helix, as well as an unusual element known as a "reverse-cant curve", intended give riders the feeling that they will be thrown off of the coaster. Park guests could see the Shinjuku skyline when riding Twist Coaster Robin.[4] The coaster had single-car trains, each of which had four riders in two rows of two.[1]

The construction of Twist Coaster Robin cost a total of 450 million yen. A Yomiuriland spokesperson said that this was "the largest investment on a single attraction (in the park) since 1997".[4] The grand opening for Twist Coaster Robin was scheduled for 19 March 2014—the 50th anniversary of Yomiuriland's opening.[5]

On the same day that Twist Coaster Robin opened, there was an incident involving the coaster. The incident involved two coaster cars colliding. Although no riders were hurt, the park suspended operation of the coaster.[6] Roller Coaster DataBase notes that the coaster only operated in March 2014. It was removed from the park in 2016.[1]
