I must have been so scared… Everland T-Express stopped at 20m ~ News Directory 3
On the 12th, the last day of the Chuseok holiday, a large roller coaster suddenly stopped working at Everland, an amusement park in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do. The passengers were isolated for about 10 minutes before being evacuated.
According to Everland, one of the main rides, the T Express, suddenly stopped about 20 meters above the ground around noon on the same day.
Around 30 passengers were isolated for around 10 minutes and then came down using the stairs fitted to the rides with the help of staff. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
Afterwards, Everland inspected the ride and confirmed that nothing was wrong, and resumed operation after 4 hours.
Everland said, “It was determined that the equipment’s safety monitoring sensor had stopped functioning.
Netizens who heard the news of the accident said, ‘I’m glad there are no injuries’, ‘It’s better to restart after 4 hours than to move too much’ seems to have done well’.
