HowieP Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 T-Express looks like a kick-a$$ ride! As you said yourself, Robb, a prefab woody is still a woody.
dr.gumbo Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 With both T-Express and Eagle Fortress, this park seems to put those parks with billions of humdrum rides to shame (not mentioning any names...). Seriously though, T-Express looks like the best ride I've ever seen by a landslide. I'm sure Eagles Fortress will look good too once the video loads.
BeemerBoy Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 NICE BEAVER!!! "Thanks, I just had it stuffed."
ILoveRitalin Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Oh. My. God. That looks freaking amazing. Except for one thing. I'm assuming that the mid-course brake is tuned up so high to keep the slimmer and shorter Koreans from flying out of the ride? Here in America it would just be to keep from getting sued for being too "intense", but there I can imagine flying Koreans everywhere without some sort of stop-gap.

robbalvey Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 ^ The thing is, the midcourse wasn't even on *that* hard. For some reason the ride shows a lot slower in the video than riding it. Our morning rides were certainly slower than the night rides (we only had the train half full) but I'd say if you were going 40MPH into the midcourse it slowed you down to about 25MPH. Sure, that's nearly 1/2, but it wasn't like SFMM's Goliath where you came to a complete stop or anything. --Robb
BeemerBoy Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 ^ By the end of watching it, I had forgotten all about the midcourse brake. That's how good the whole thing looks! Oh yeah, and Joey's "aging" was hilarious! I'm guessing the Oregon State game put even more years on him too.
aimster Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Did anybody see my little tiger buddy while they were there? Ummm... those are lions in that pic you posted.
Killwize Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 T-Express looks like a kick-a$$ ride! As you said yourself, Robb, a prefab woody is still a woody. A prefab woody is still a woody in the same way breasts w/implants are still breasts.
Dleo Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks for the T Express POV Robb!!! I was just looking for one online last night but all I could find is crappy hand held ones from you tube... and J-pop music videos with the J-pop artists crawling all over the track and wood. How timely of you.
OldJJman Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Ummm... those are lions in that pic you posted. My apologies if Jason and I aren't as well educated as you appear to be. But, I'm 99.99% sure of what he was referring to. Are you?
garrett.matthews Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I LOVE LIONS!!!!!! Uber jealouse of this trip. I am going to HAVE to go on one of these little tripps with you guys one time!
jenifer420 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Holy donkey balls that's one of the best rides I've ever seen! I could feel your butts lifting off the seat while watching the vid. Crikey I gotta ride that!
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Amazing camera work Robb, that has got to be one of my favorite coaster videos ever! T-Express looks simply amazing, easily the best looking modern coaster in the world. One day, one day I'll ride it........
Rastuso Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 ^^^^ Damn knowitall kids these days with their lions and tigers. The little guy had a design sorta like a tabby cat, and wasn't just one color, so I thought he was a tiger, as opposed to the baby white lion that had no real design on him. All I know is he was adorable when he meow/growled for me. -RO
JoshAbelsonXiii Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Dude, that woodie looks sick!!! Maybe SFMM's new woodie might be something like that? hahahha... I wish.

I looked up the park's website too and Everland looks like a really nice park. I still haven't downloaded the Eagle's Fortress video, but going to now. I don't think anything will be as bad as Goliath's MCBR... I remember riding when it first opened and was blown away at the speed and intensity... then the next time I rode it was circumsized in a bad way.

TheRapidsNerd Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 And I thought El Toro was scary. T-Express just b**ch slapped it and made Toro call it "Daddy". Wow! KT does a pretty good Harley Quinn with that hammer too. Good stuff all around.
TheRealTinkerbell Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Lions, Tigers, Bears, WHO GIVES! Their animals, their cute, and when they get older, they can possibly kill you! Now let us get back on track to the real deal of how beautiful that woodie is! It's simply a divine work of the Wooden Coaster Gods!
RIP Psyclone Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I think the El Toro portion should have maybe had one more hill, and the Balder portion could have maybe been a little shorter. But, T Express is a coaster that has pushed the envelope, so naturally the song for the video pushes it as well.
dandaman Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Hey Robb, I just noticed your wearing of the Behemoth Bash shirt (I think) while on T-Express in the vid. What is it about wearing that shirt and making "clacking balls" comments, anyway? Dan "That was the most awesome/hilarious/painful thing ever" Smith
ChrisFL Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 As I figured they're having too much fun in Japan all day and night and can't post updates. I can't blame you guys at all!!! I'll be in Japan in late Feb, early March!!
KnottsDisneyFarm Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Wow. That is an amazing roller coaster. I am a fan of air-time. I need to get on that thing! Hee hee, I like the "pop my cherry" hill!
Jew Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 ^^The Japan trip ended a few weeks ago. They're just busy people! Oh yeah, and Joey's "aging" was hilarious! I'm guessing the Oregon State game put even more years on him too. The season is still young...plenty of time to climb back up in the rankings.
ebl Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I don't know why it took me so long to watch the T-Express video, but...do we need one of those on the West Coast or what? Eric
