This video would've been greatly improved if you had told us about every single 180+ degree turn and airtime hill.
Ah yes "The trains then complete a 180 degree turn, followed by an airtime hill. The trains once again complete a 180 degree turn, followed by an airtime hill, leading into another 180 degree turn. At this point guests navigate an airtime hill, followed by a 180 degree turn. The trains then enter an airtime hill, a 180 degree turn, and another airtime hill.

Lmfao
That's some nice copypasta content right there
@@coasterbot This is too good.
COASTER BOT i rode this today and yep your explanation is exceptionally right, man
Rode this one on my Korea trip last week. The airtime is insane and I can't believe how smooth it was. Love this coaster!
Awesome to hear, it really looks like a fantastic ride :)
12/10 highly recommend. Worth the trip. Hoping Korea gets more coasters too.
Those final few bunny hops feel like zippin pippin's ejector death hill lol
yo, is it like el toro
@itssochillbra personally though it was better. The ejector camelback and the drop is enough to kill you
I love the “what is” videos keep doing what you are doing 👍🏻😀
Thank you, it means a lot! :)
This is the first time you cover a seriously interesting coaster which I hadn't heard of before, very nice! Great video as always
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! :)
Some cool facts about this thing
0. RMC is co-manufacturer of this(Intamin-RMC)
1. If you board the train from 18:00~19:00 you can ride twice without taking off(~3/14)
2. When the temperature is 35+°C There's NO WAIT
3. This thing has special fastpass:worth 30000 won and 2 fastpasses+rider cam video
4. The train has light bulbs, so it looks more menacing at night
5.Its highest wait time ever was 300 minutes.
6. Total queue line length is 2km when it is full.
And I added subs, would you use my Korean sub in this vid?
Great facts, thanks for sharing them with us! I've added your Korean subtitles, thank you for making those! :)
I BEEN ON THIS RIDE AND CAME OUT ALVIE 😂😂😂😂😂
same dude same
i have riden this just 1 month ago and it has 13 airtime hills(all of them are ejector).number 1 roller coaster in asia
Awesome to hear, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
I've only been on one Intamin pre-felab (El Toro SF Great Adventure). It's amazing and I'd love to ride on others. Is it perhaps the cost of these that keeps parks from investing in them?
It is the cost. They cost as much as steel coasters, and you still have to do a bit of maintenance on them regardless of how much stronger the wood is. I heard magic mountain was going to get a prefab at some point 😳
One recall of event happened 1year ago
I marathoned this ride from 17:40 to 20:00 riding 7 times
On the last ride, I rode ROW 1 with the train almost filled with students in same school I know. I kept my hands up for 3 minutes and some middle-seat rider students said to me "Are You Crazy?" and even one science teacher ridden this thing with students surprised when I say I marathoned this and ridden 7 times.(average students rode 2~3 times that day)
When I stayed at the hotel I felt like riding T Express because I rode T Express over 10 kms in a day. And I've gotten sore throat while riding this because of air pollution
Ah man that's awesome, 7 rides must have been a lot of fun! :)
I rode this when I taught English in SK. I remember being blown away, but I downplayed it because I hadn't ridden roller coasters in a while and everything else in the park was lame. Wish I could go back and ride it again!
You forget one thing: This is the tallest Woodie together with WF, even though the stop isn’t that long
Wow! I'm Korean so I know T-express well!! Thank you great video! Have a nice day~!!
Awesome to hear, thanks for watching! :)
I did not realise this coaster was over a mile long wow
It definitely is one long coaster!
Same
Hi, I work for Everland photo service.
I setup to the T express ride photo and work for that. Thank you to like about T express and Everland
That question at the end is an absolute no brainer for me. I could not see ANYONE not wanting to see the intamin prefab return. I'm really hyped for colossos and may ride t express next year.
I would love love love to see ore of these woodies in NA. Their high speed, steep drops and fun banks look so much fun!
I'd love to see more of these woodies everywhere! :)
It's quite an immense ride! The location on the side of that hill seems to add to the experience, particularly those views from the top of the lift.
I really like hearing about these Asian rides that us westerners perhaps aren't so familiar with.
It definitely is! Glad you liked the video, we are hoping to cover more obscure rides in the future! :)
YESSS I LOVE this one, my number 1 ride! (Though I honestly haven't ridden too much but still) It might not be as consistently fast-paced as say El Toro but I think the really lengthy ride (which makes it feel more like a 'journey' of sorts), incredible setting and (I assume) comparable airtime deserve a lot of praise.
I'd seriously be interested to see more of these around. It's a shame we probably don't see more of these because RMCs seem much more marketable, having more dynamic layouts and almost equally smooth ride experiences for a cheaper price. But if a new one were to be made, it'd rocket to the top of a lot of enthusiasts' favorite wood coaster lists for sure.
I couldn't agree more! :)
Yes more parks should be investing in this type of ride. I would like to see a ride like this at Hershey Park!
there are so many nice coasters around the world and there are a lot of nice videos about them, not sure what is better :DDD
Other amusement parks NEEDS this kind of ride
Definitely! :)
Oh god, T-series is now a rollercoaster!
@Ali A correction Vekoma slc
Seriously impressed by the wide variety of shots for this video. Asian coaster footage is comparatively much harder to find, but you managed to get nerdy construction footage of T-Express!
I would really love a new Intamin woodie. Considering Intamin is now going for even bolder layouts (Walibi Belgium 2021 is my fav example of this), a new Prefab Woodie to compete with RMC designs would be a fascinating prospect!
I also do know for a fact Intamin does offer LSM launches for this type of coaster too...
Me and Aron spent quite some time looking for usable footage! I couldn't agree more though, a new prefab now could be epic!
Man I rode it a year or two ago and damn! It was the best feeling ever! Especially the drops! I don’t care what people say, but the drops in roller coasters are the best parts in a roller coaster.
It really does look awesome! :)
After watching ElToroRyan's video on Intamin pre-fabricated wood coasters, I can see why parks don't really want to build one. For one, the costs are more extremely expensive than we think they are. Wood coasters are typically much cheaper than steel coasters, because wood is a cheaper material than steel, and because wood is not prefabricated, it doesn't drive up costs that much. But prefabrication is so much more expensive, since you're pretty much building the wood version of a steel coaster. For example, Thunderhead at Dollywood from GCI was only $7 million in 2004, which is about $9.5 million in 2020. Whereas you said that T Express is 36 billion KRW in 2008, but now over $50 million in 2020 (OMG). Plus, the maintenance is not as easy as some people might seem. He stated that being more proactive to maintain Intamin's prefab wood coaster model is going to lessen those maintenance nightmares than neglecting the track and structure altogether when parks are more reactive to fix an issue right away, like what happened to Colossos in 2016. El Toro, however, has the Great Adventure maintenance team create and fabricate their own track in the same way and design that the fabricators that Intamin contracts to build the track use, which is very expensive to ship overseas than in a closer European country. So they can replace the track much easier and are more proactive than if the prefabricated wood is maintained reactively.
I've seen that video too, and when you think about it all makes sense. It now seems obvious that there weren't more of these rides built, they just weren't economical
I love this. Please everyone go to korea and visit everland. You'll never regret it. But check the weather first because t express doesn't operate during winter and heavy rain
It looks like such an awesome coaster, I'd love to ride it! :)
Ok ever since I was allowed to ride a roller coaster, I was completely obsessed. I never knew why ppl would scream lmfao
Whenever me and my family went to a theme park, I would always choose the most scariest, and highest roller coaster there was or anything a scary ride :))
That's awesome, roller coasters are great! :)
Been on that beast. It's one of my favorite coasters.
Kind of coaster with the Woodan from Europa Park that make me wonder why we don't have more of this kind today :D
Great to hear! :)
One of my favorite coasters of all time!! I gotta say El Toro still has a better first drop (despite this being 1 degree steeper), but once the Balder section starts after the midcourse this ride is pure bliss to the very end!! I wish parks would invest in more of these Intamin prefabs. They are my favorite coasters, above even RMC's!!
Question: is this pure bliss before the MCBR for you? For me, def. But after the MCBR it underwhelmed me a bit. I wish the MCBR didn't nearly bring you to a complete stop.
I have to disagree. I think T Express is slightly better all the way around than El Toro. Probably my favorite wooden coaster at this point. I have to try out the Coaster in Heide Park Germany and Zadra in Poland to see how they compare.
@@mforce3102 Definitely pure bliss the whole ride, but I'm so used to El Toro's first drop (and first two camelbacks) that t express first half felt slightly underwhelming in comparison (still amazing though). @james krten I like t express more than toro overall too, and I'm dying to ride the other prefabs (especially colossos) and zadra as well!!
Looks great! The wooden coasters are my favorite.
that sharp airtime hill
After I got off of El Toro, I couldn't walk. I've NEVER been yanked over an airhill without the train slowing a little bit. That experience was breathtaking. I've always wondered why more of these weren't ordered. I will never get to ride THIS and won't even fantasize about riding it but if this was in the USA, this would probably be my number 2 next to Voyage.
El Toro looks absolutely awesome! As you said it's a shame more of these rides weren't built!
Don't ride t express if you can't handle el toro lol you can actually pass out from those consecutive bunny hops that just *YEETS* you with no time to breathe
I would like to see Cedar Point get a pre fab!
That'd be very cool! :)
or Aquatrex
I rode this last year it was the best coster I had ever experienced
Great to hear! :)
The first drop is like 70 degrees steep when I first went on this I was so scared at the drop I couldn’t even scream and my neck was like bent down all the way lmao
WoW die ziet er echt super vet uit
Dude your videos are getting better ever day
Thanks my dude :)
It’s great that you’re extending out the What Is: series to other parts of the world! I also wonder what a modern Intamin prefab would be like because Intamin changed a lot in recent years.
Thanks I'm glad you think so, and it would be very interesting! :)
Maybe it would have RMC-like inversion
A legend
I have a few Korean friends and they usually go to japan for amusement parks because Everland is the only park (basically) in Korea and only has 1 really good coaster.
no they are not they have very many roller coaster and theme park
Not really.
There's the Draken (90 degree drop)
The python (same park with the Draken)
And a few others
I am impressed how you got the whole imformation about it.. I dont know well about T express even Im Korean 😂😂
and plz do another best roller coaster in Korea called "Atlantis" ! It has a normal track but what makes it special is that it harmonizes with awesome buildings.
It's likes dark ride and roller coaster half n half.
(sry I used google trans..I hope you got it)
Thanks, we spent some time finding information about the ride. I'll write your suggestion down also :)
It's actually hard not to clap along to that music.
ha ha
This wooden looks awesome! Nice video Harry! 👍
Thanks! :)
i have an unhealthy obsession over this coaster
I can understand why to be fair! :)
Amazing as always. Top quality content! :)
Thank you! :)
Wow never knew this was made by the same people as balder had the pleasure of both T express for me was the best
Balder is awesome some T-Express much be awesomer!
It can be described by 3 words: An Intamin masterpiece
Also another great job, Harry!
It certainly is and thank you! :)
South Koreas coasters are very underrated
Deserved to be underrated
Why, why, why, why, oh why aren’t there more Intamin pre-fabs?
Thanks, Harry - I’ve only watched a couple of minutes so far and already I’ve learned things. Never knew about the origin of the name (I hate coaster names that are product placement!).
It's a shame there aren't more! Great to hear you are learning new things! :)
It's still better than KIA Motors train of El Toro.
yunho kim Well, I’m not so sure about that. I hate all product placement, but at least it’s El Toro and not the Kia Coaster.
Probably because rmc topper track roller coaster
와~~~ 티익스프레스당~~~
Any Koreans?
Meeeee im riding it now
Such an interesting ride
Sadly a rare model I'd love to see more of those if there is even a chance to
Do you think Intamin could put a prefabricated wooden coaster in Thorpe Park in the future?
Unfortunately I highly doubt it.
As always, great video Harry!
Thank you! :)
4.21 yes yes yes yes yes yes and
YES
Pre-fabs are loved the world round. I would love to know why there aren’t more, considering their demand. Having rode both Gigas, and conquering every Giga in the world this year, riding the other 3 pre fab’s will be my next quest. :)
Sounds like an epic quest! :)
Yes please more prefabs
I wish!
my home park!!!!!!
Awesome to hear! :)
Thanks.
I waited for this for years.
Love these videos Coasterbot. I look forward to them. And I believe intamin should design more.
Thank you, it means a lot! They definitely should :)
Went on this ride last year. Felt like i was falling straight 90° that will prob be my first and last KSKSKSK
That sounds awesome! :)
Craziest roller coaster ive ever ride
Your videos very nicely edited and your voice is extremly soothing.Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, that means a lot! :)
T 익스프레스 이거 장난 아닙니다.... 제 인생 롤러코스터예요
Hey, what about Colossos at Heide Park? :) Great vid
I'll consider making a video about Colossos once it's reopened to the public, thank you! :)
El Toro's brother
This ride is amazing
You should ride this at night time. The view of Everland resort is really outstanding!!(My younger sister is the only one in my family who never rode this.She isn't a fan of big drops.)
I can imagine it's fantastic at night. Thanks for commenting :)
@@coasterbot Wow! Thank you so much for commenting! So far I have ridden 3 Intamin rollercoasters and 3 Vekoma rollercoasters and a Mack ride coaster in South Korea. But so far, the T express looked extreme then any rollercoaster I rode on.
I’ts T-series roller coaster xD.
IamAdam lol 😂 😂 😂
Nah, because this coaster actually looks great.
@@Max-ro7sz Hahahaha
They used test bot
This may be T-Express, but Railblazer is still the T-pose Express
Wowie
Lmao
Are companies afraid to make their “almost” wooden hyper coaster and actual wooden hyper coaster?
Whilst being a good ride i feel like the designer was like “I don’t feel like being creative today, lets just repeat the first thing we did after the drop”
100%
Would I like to see more Intamin prefab wooden coasters exist? Yes.
When the train leaves the station you can see another track come from the left.
Is that for maintenance/storage, or is there a "2 laps" mode that tunnels the station?
That's most likely the maintenance/storage shed :)
There's two lap mode in operation from 18:00 to 19:00. Everland is doing special event called Con-graduation (until Mar 16) and in that time we can ride T Express twice without taking off regardless of wait time.(but they wait a bit in the station)
but that rail is for maintenance room and train storage
Where did you find this footage?
The links to the footage can be found in the description :)
Could you please do a video about each of the six flags parks?
We have made videos about some Six Flags parks! You can find them within this playlist: th-cam.com/video/CzASpHxfS9o/w-d-xo.html
Korean El Torro.
Idk why everland is not making any other major investments after this...
It's really sad because every visitors in everland who enjoy thrill just favors this ride so much over every other rides in the park, resulting in insane waiting time. Even though this is the largest themepark in Korea(its area is massive), the only other coaster in the park is an Arrow corkscrew coaster opened at 1988. There once was a arrow suspended model named Eagle Fortress but was defuncted in 2009. I really hoped they would use that part of their land to build an awesome terrain coaster but they didn't.
If you visit everland, highly recommend to try this. 😂
I love this model but it gets repetitive because all they can do is banked turns and airtime hills. Don't get me wrong, I love airtime hills and banked turns but I wish intamin would update this model and try to add inversions or other elements. Otherwise they just have out and back layouts with mostly airtime or the balder layout with a airtime turn pattern layout.
It would be very cool to see an updated model. As you've said, things have changed sine the debut of T-Express! :)
What is T-Express
When you ride a wooden roller coaster doing the T Pose
@J Terry TV lol
Wow! That make sense!
I want to see more Intamin pre-fabs.
We all do! :)
Have u even been on it?
I haven't unfortunately, no
내 인생 롤코🥰
Haha, I thought even before you said it, ”The second part of the ride looks exactly as Balder”!
You beat me to it!
4:09 well that's where your wrong my good man. You see a brand new intamin prefab wooden coaster is coming to my fictional theme park Oak Beach Resort in 2020. It will open as the world's tallest, fastest and longest wooden roller coaster on March 28th 2020. Measuring 210ft high and reaching a maximum speed of 75 MPH. With a track layout heavily inspired by el toro at six flags great adventure.
Intamin woodies seem indeed to be great, but then again, when you get to choose gci...the choice is quite simple
Both are very good! :)
Great video! Too bad there are no more Intamin prefabs like this... :)
Thanks! Very true :)
Great video harry . Don't know how I feel about the name relating to t-series!
Thank you! :)
Thought it said “T-Series”

Koreans must be supporting t-series because they are enjoying the t-series rollercoaster
im not very easily scared by rollercoasters but this really scared me especially because of how high it falls from and the safety bar only being on the bottom
What did you think of the ride in the end, did you enjoy it? :)
