Wooden Roller Coaster Poll Results

The Wooden Roller Coaster Poll Results for 2008 are in, and there's a new #1 wooden roller coaster according to what is regarded as the most balanced enthusiast poll anywhere.

T Express opened at Everland in South Korea in March of this year, and has quickly shot to the coveted #1 spot in the poll.

What is Wooden Coaster?

The Attraction R.C.S. blog, which is not in English, has photos of Everland's new Intamin Pre-Fab Wooden Coaster going up.

The South Korean park is building the 5,300+ foot ride on a hillside, which makes the ride's layout even more interesting.

With the rave reviews that previous Intamin Pre-Fab Wooden Coasters have received, I'm sure this will be one of the rides of 2008.
