What to remember
In Yongin, South Korea, the Everland theme park opened a 56.02 m wooden roller coaster on 14 March 2008, then called T Express. Built by Swiss manufacturer Intamin to a design by the German firm Ing.-Büro Stengel, it sits in the park's European Adventure area, themed after a small town in the Alps. It has held the wooden coaster height record since June 2009.
It drew crowds from the start, with over a million riders in its first six months, and in 2009 Mitch Hawker's Internet Poll voted it the best wooden roller coaster in the world. It was South Korea's first-ever wooden roller coaster, and the longest coaster of any kind in the country.
The ride has since changed both its track and its name. In April 2024, parts of the track were retracked in steel by Rocky Mountain Construction, and on 27 April 2026 it was renamed Monimo RUSH.
