T Express

T Express is a wooden roller coaster at Everland in Yongin, South Korea. It is South Korea's first wooden coaster, Intamin's fourth wooden coaster with prefabricated track, the first ride of this type in Asia, and the first to utilize three trains. It is world's fourth steepest wooden roller coaster. It is also the world's ninth fastest, fourth tallest, and third longest wooden roller coaster (behind only The Beast at Kings Island and The Voyage at Holiday World). It is also built on a hillside, the layout taking advantage of the terrain.
