Same here. I can't wait to see some videos of this coaster running!

Edit*- look what I just found. Someone made a recreation on NoLimits. I'm not sure how the person that made this would know the entire layout, but if it is correct, watch this video to get a good idea of what the layout is going to be like.

All I saw was a Balder with El Toro's first drop. El Toro still has a kickass turnaround that T-Express doesn't.  ;D

El Toro's drop looks bigger and badder than this one.

More pictures, even one with one of the trains. El Toro's trains look better though...

At first this ride had me interested... for some reason now, not so much. It's almost like I don't need to ride it because I know what to expect. Extreme air, and smoothness.

I dont know what to think. By looking at the pictures, the drop does not look nearly as intense as El Toro's. Also, the train did not charge over the second hill like El Toro's trains do, but it could just be that it hasnt worn in yet.

POV video of T-Express. Check it out, you're in for a surprise...

Well let me just say, after watching this video, I am very disappointed with this coaster. It still looks great, but it does not look as good as I imagined it to be. The MCBR, which is after the second drop of the ride, almost completely stops the train. The "Balder" section of the ride still looks intense, but the overall layout of the ride was just ruined by the MCBR. The ride is basically adding El Toro's drop and second hill to Balder, almost stopping the train, then going through Balder's layout.

I don't know

the area from the drop to the brake run looks awesome and fast
but yes to have the train almost comes to a stop is STRANGE  ?
but the rest of the ride looks like it kicks some butt

without the MCBR the coaster would be crazy

I wonder if the MCBR was Intamins idea or the parks i would think the parks  ?

Yea I have the same feeling that it was the park's idea. In the video it looks like there is some major air time in the front when the train enters the MCBR, unless it was just a screw up in the filming.

Nice! But I'm not booking a ticket to Korea any time soon.
That MCBR just ruined it for me...It seems like they did the huge drop for no reason.

I did enjoy the Train Conductor outfits the ride ops were wearing.
Maybe it is time for some Matador outfits for the El Toro ops!
