The largest amusement park in Seoul
I remember that in our childhood in our town there was a small amusement park where all the entertainment could be skipped within an hour. And when Disney Land is shown on TV, I think it's a fairy tale.
Arriving in South Korea, everything seems to me so great and unusual. It's like me in a totally different world.
During the Korean language course, we visited a local amusement park called Lotte World, translated into Russian by Lotte World. The park belonged to a large Lotte company.
The park was founded in 1989 by far. And six years later he was taken to the Guinness Book of Records as the largest indoor amusement park in the world.
The total area of †<†<the park is more than 128 thousand square meters, and the area of all garden buildings exceeds 581 thousand square meters. To build a fairytale world like that, a paradise for children and adults, the Lotte company spends $ 1 billion.
In the park nothing is empty. And on a weekend here and not encouraged. At most popular attractions you can queue for more than 2 hours. Fortunately, most attractions have a queue booking system.At the entrance to the attraction is a special vending machine, where you can pick up tickets. Tickets say time to approach attractions.
That year, the Lotte Wold theme park was visited by over 6 million people, and many of them were foreigners.
The park hosts festivals and performances. For example, every day there is a parade. This is something like a musical show where cartoon characters and dancers pass through the entire park with a certain number.
The park is divided into internal and external. Indoor or indoor gardens are called Adventure, and the outer (open air) is the Magic Island of Magic Island. In total there are 49 different attractions in the park, 3 of which are roller coasters. By the way, the park has a roller coaster in the covered part of the park and on the street. But the queue is also the same length, ie on the street that is in the room.
The "Adventure" and "Magic Island" parks connect the inner monorail. This is for those who are tired of walking.
If you want you can go over the bridge with your feet.
I have been in this park several times. And as a tourist, and work should go there. In the park you can walk right away, do not always drive all the attractions. And you will not stay hungry here. In the garden there is a kitchen for every option, starting with the simplest stalls with snacks, topped off with a restaurant with a buffet.
In the park there is an ice rink, paid entrance, and tickets purchased separately from the entrance to the park.
The park is open from 9:30 to 23:00 daily.
Lotte Wold is located in ChamSchil district. This area is like a mini-city of Lotte, because there is Lotte Hotel, Lotte big shopping center, Lotte Wald amusement park, a residential complex Lotte Kestl, and recently completed construction of the tallest skyscraper in Korea Lotte Wald Tower (Lotte World Tower). In addition to the skyscrapers, a large shopping center Lotte Tower was built. In general, here you can walk and drink for days, for this you just need a platinum card.
The total height of Lotte World Tower is 555 meters or 123 floors. Just below the Arabic Burj Khalifa. In this tower there are hotels, business offices, cafes and platforms seeing Seoul Sky, located on the 117th floor. The upper floors are occupied by cafes and restaurants with beautiful city views. I myself have not managed to climb this tower, while I walk just downstairs, get courage.
Lotte is one of the largest companies in South Korea. The company develops in various industries, and has long been known in the world market. Many have tried various sweets and drinks of Lotte. In many countries there is a Lotte hotel. And in Asian countries there are duty free Lotte.
In addition to the Lotte Wold park, there is also Everland Park, located in the city of Yonin. Seoul to the park can be reached in 1-2 hours. Personally, I love the Paris Disney Land park. Here, like at Disney Land, at night there are parades, similar attractions. And the park itself, as a small town. At Everland Park there is a mini-zoo - safari, as it is called here. But this is another story.
