Boasting an incredible 14 ejector airtime moments and a top speed of 64 mph, this gigantic wooden roller coaster is one of the most iconic rides in Asia. Standing at 183.8 feet (56 metres) tall, it's also the World's tallest wooden roller coaster, a record it shares with Wildfire, Kolmarden's RMC topper track coaster. Due to its terrain twister layout, its drop is somewhat smaller, but the ride makes up for this with its length; with over 5,300 feet of track, it's also the 5th longest wooden roller coaster in the World. It's not the tallest wooden coaster ever built though - that record belongs to the infamous and dangerously flawed Son of Beast at King's Island that was shut down just 9 years after opening.
Following hot on the heels of Heide Park's Colossos, Balder at Liseberg and El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure, T Express opened in 2009 as the fourth prefabricated wooden coaster built by Intamin. This innovative ride type differs from other traditional woodies in that the track is manufactured in segments by factory machine tools, rather than being assembled on site by hand, saving time and enhancing smoothness. However, as the industry moved on, no more of this highly rated ride type have been built anywhere else - would you like to see more?
When it opened, T Express was the longest, tallest, steepest and fastest roller coaster in South Korea, but the last three of those records have since been surpassed by Draken at Gyeongju World in 2018, a B&M Dive Coaster. Still the only wooden roller coaster in Korea, the ride is sponsored by T Money, which is where the ride gets its name.
Everland is located just outside of Seoul and is also home to Rolling X Train, a classic Arrow Loopscrew and the now defunct Eagle Fortress, a legendary terrain susended coaster.
