The ride has opened successfully in Apr,6th. The retracked part is very smooth, and the bang after the 1st airtime hill has gone. The transition between Intamin and RMC track is unnoticeable. Good work RMC. Still, the train shakes a lot in the S curve. After MCBR, the train hauls through a...

Maybe the next post, ride review will be the last post in this...
T Express has started testing 2 days ago.
It is using old Intamin trains.
RMC 208 track fart sounds like a thunder.
Testing Footage (Taken by me in safe location):
Looks good to see parks nearby getting steadily invested. They added Valkyrie while in pandemic, and only 3 years they are adding a new ride.
It might be a big hit when the ride opens.
1st drop completed. 1st airtime hill has reprofiled a bit, with the track removed, new wood piece installed, and reinstalled. The construction is now on the turnaround. Maybe in several weeks, we can see the ride testing.
Photo taken today by me
The track is glittering by the sun, and reflects the light as seen. A clue of steel track.
Def looks like RMC 208 ReTraK
Any opinions welcome!
Not sure what kind of tracks are used in this turnaround. Everland took these out in off season.
As confirmed by the park, they mentioned they would work with coaster manufacturer overseas. So less probability for in-house.

New finding: Work is also being done in Balder Section.
After the 1st airtime after MCBR, I found a track piece in the 1st Balder turnaround being cut.
Also I found workers at the bottom section after the 1st drop. They were cutting and conveying wood pieces.

Spotted workers, cables and some tools on the initial big airtime hill. Also seen some track pieces being cut.
Soon to see the tracks being removed.
Dec. 02nd, 2023
No work has done on the track. No track pieces removed. But, the station has its lights on. Still can't find out any progress on my eyes. Let's wait and see.

The article says (Summary):

The ride was stopped safely on the lifthill, and no one was injured...
As heard from industry acquaintance, it was not decided yet. According to him, some of the core employees are thinking of converting to hybrid (probably RMC 208 ReTraK) , and some of them are thinking of getting a new Intamin track. I also heard that there can be a design change.
Still, Everland...
I've come back to this forum after a long time.
