Eagle Fortress, Suspended roller coaster at Everland, South Korea
Eagle Fortress was a suspended roller coaster at Everland theme park featuring yellow rails and green support structures winding through the park. The ride covered nearly 1 kilometer of track and delivered a roughly 2-minute journey for each group of passengers.
This suspended coaster opened in September 1992 as Asia's first of its kind, designed by Arrow Dynamics. The ride was shut down and removed from the park in 2015.
The ride contributed to establishing Everland as a primary entertainment destination in South Korea during the rapid technological advancement of the 1990s.
The ride transported 28 passengers in seven cars, reaching speeds of roughly 64 kilometers per hour. Visitors should know that this attraction no longer exists, as it was removed from the park years ago.
After Arrow Dynamics went bankrupt in 2002, finding replacement parts for this specific model became nearly impossible. The lack of available components eventually led to the decision to dismantle the ride.
