Monimo RUSH

Everland opened the ride in 2008 under the name T Express, introducing South Korea’s first wooden roller coaster. Intamin supplied the prefabricated wooden coaster, giving the park a substantial new landmark in its European Adventure area. news.sbs.co.kr· coasterpedia.net

Its timber structure was made from laminated panels formed from nine pressed layers of wood. This method brought a precise, carefully engineered character to a ride that still presents the warm appearance of a great traditional wooden coaster. news.samsungcnt.com

The original project called for a large and demanding construction effort on the Everland hillside, with materials and structural work arriving from several countries before final assembly in Korea. The completed ride opened to considerable public interest and quickly became one of the park’s chief attractions. donga.com· news.sbs.co.kr

After opening as T Express, the coaster received later refurbishment work and now carries the name Monimo RUSH. It remains in operation, its high timber frame still commanding the landscape above Everland. coasterpedia.net· news.samsungcnt.com
