T Express

We recently visited Everland, which is the largest theme park in South Korea.  Everland has been compared to Disneyland because of its size, architecture and atmosphere.  There aren’t many thrilling rides, but I did get to ride my new all-time favorite wooden roller coaster: T Express.

The leading mobile telecommunications company in South Korea, SK Telecom, sponsors T Express, which was built in 2008.  With a first drop of 77 degrees, this enormous roller coaster is the world’s steepest wooden coaster.  It also ranks as one of the fastest and longest wooden roller coasters in the world. 

You can see some clips of the gargantuan ride in this (hilarious / ridiculous) video from the K-pop (Korean pop) male group, Xing:

"This is the best uller coaster!"
