T Express is a wooden roller coaster located in the European Adventure section of Everland in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. It has an angle of descent at 77 degrees, beating El Toro by one degree. It is the first wooden roller coaster in South Korea, and the fourth prefabricated wooden roller coaster built by Intamin AG. It is also the first of its type in Asia and the first to use three trains.
The ride brought a large attendance increase to Everland, including 14% more college students and 73% more teenagers.
The ride is notorious for the number of items lost aboard the ride. According to Everland, riders who bring loose items aboard the ride may be liable for any injury caused to other riders and will be removed from the park if caught. The park even states that items lost can become fatal if lost at the ride's top speed of 65 miles per hour. The most prominent examples of this are the displays of lost items in the station of the ride stating the date of an incident, how they were lost, and any damages that may have occurred. Items include but are not limited to phones, keys, and glasses.
