Lotte World Seoul

Lotte World Seoul is one of the most famous theme parks in South Korea and a must-visit for many tourists when they come to Seoul. Lotte World is divided into two major areas: indoor and outdoor. The indoor "Lotte World Adventure" is one of the largest indoor amusement parks in the world, while the outdoor "Magic Island" is located on an artificial lake, like a castle in a fairy tale world. It is even more beautiful when the lights are on at night. Tickets and Admission This time I chose the "Pass", which allows you to enjoy all the rides. It is recommended that you book your tickets online first, because there may be a long queue when purchasing on site, and there are sometimes discounts for purchasing tickets online. After entering the park, the first thing to do is to get a map and plan the day's itinerary, because the waiting time for popular facilities may be long, so reasonable arrangements can help you have more fun. Popular facilities experience After entering the indoor area, what attracted me most was "The Wrath of the Pharaoh", a facility that combines a roller coaster with an adventure. Visitors sit on the car and enter the interior of the pyramid, passing through the mysterious ancient Egyptian ruins and experiencing the thrilling adventure. During the process, there will be thrilling experiences of simulated falls and sharp turns, as well as various special effects, making people feel as if they are in a movie scene. Another recommended indoor facility is the "Hot Air Balloon Adventure", which is a representative amusement facility in Lotte World. You can take a hot air balloon to slowly rise and overlook the entire indoor park. It feels very dreamy and is also suitable for tourists who are not very brave to play exciting facilities. When you come to the outdoor Magic Island, the most exciting thing is "Atlantis", which is a facility that combines a water roller coaster with a high-speed roller coaster. It has an extremely fast speed and a sudden sense of weightlessness when diving, which really makes your heart beat faster! The lines are usually long, but it's definitely worth it. In addition, the "Giant Pendulum" is also a facility not to be missed. When the pendulum swings to the highest point, it feels as if the whole person is about to fly out. It is thrilling and exciting. Food and rest in the park There are many dining options in Lotte World, including Korean cuisine, Western fast food, and even dessert shops. I chose Korean fried chicken with a sparkling drink. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was sweet and spicy. It was really delicious! If you have enough time, you can also go to Lotte Department Store next to Lotte World or the restaurants in Lotte Tower to enjoy delicious food. Night parade and fireworks At night, Lotte World also has wonderful float parades and fireworks displays. The float parade is full of a fairy-tale atmosphere, and performers dressed in various characters interact with tourists, making people feel like they have entered a fantasy world. The final fireworks show was held in front of the Magic Island Castle, accompanied by music and lights, creating a romantic and dreamy atmosphere, bringing the day's trip to a perfect end. Experience and suggestions Overall, Lotte World is a very suitable place for people of all ages to play. Whether they are couples, families or friends, they can find suitable facilities. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that there will be more people on holidays, and the waiting time for popular rides may exceed one hour. It is recommended that you make use of the Magic Pass to save time. In addition, the weather in South Korea changes greatly. If you choose to go there in winter or summer, be sure to keep warm or be prepared for sun protection. This trip to Lotte World left me with very fond memories. Not only did I get to play with many exciting facilities, but I also felt the fairy-tale-like dream atmosphere. If I have the chance to visit Korea again, I will definitely come here again to experience more interesting rides!
