T Express (Korean: 티 익스프레스) is a wooden roller coaster at the Everland theme park in Yongin, South Korea. T Express opened on March 14, 2008, in the European Adventure section of the park, and is themed after a small town in the Alps. The coaster was constructed by Intamin, a Swiss manufacturing company, and designed by Ing.-Büro Stengel GmbH, a German roller coaster design facility. In April 2024, parts of its track underwent a steel retracking.
Within its first six months of operation, it had over a million riders. The ride holds a number of past and current records. It is South Korea's first-ever wooden roller coaster and is also the longest and second-fastest of any roller coaster in the country. As of 2023[update], it is tied (with Wildfire) for the world's tallest wooden roller coaster, and is also the longest, tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster in Asia.
