Eagle Fortress, Suspended roller coaster at Everland, South Korea
Eagle Fortress was a suspended roller coaster at Everland theme park in South Korea, where riders sat in cars hanging beneath the track rather than on top of it. The track featured yellow rails supported by green steel structures that wove through a section of the park.
Eagle Fortress opened in September 1992, designed by the American company Arrow Dynamics, and was the first suspended coaster of its type in Asia. It ran for over two decades before being shut down and removed from the park in 2015.
Eagle Fortress drew visitors from across South Korea during its years of operation, becoming a key part of the Everland experience for a generation of parkgoers. Riding it was considered a rite of passage for many families visiting the park throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
Eagle Fortress no longer exists and cannot be visited at the park. Those visiting Everland today will find other attractions in its place, so it is worth checking the current park map before planning a route.
When Arrow Dynamics filed for bankruptcy in 2002, spare parts for this model became nearly impossible to source. That shortage of components was the main reason the park decided to remove the ride rather than continue maintaining it.
