Lotte World

 

Lotte World is the perfect spot for entertainment and sightseeing in the heart of the city. It is a theme park filled with the most thrilling rides, an ice rink, and different kinds of parades as well as a folk museum, a lake, and much more. About 6,000,000 visitors are welcomed every year, and about 10% of the visitors are foreigners. The structure inside makes use of the natural sunlight, and it is open for visitors all throughout the year, regardless of the weather.

Lotte World is divided into Adventure inside the building, and Magic Island outdoors, beside Seokchonhosu Lake. Lotte World Adventure has certain districts representing different countries, with various kinds of facilities and souvenir shops. You can enjoy watching parades, numerous films, laser shows, and international cuisine even during the holidays. Magic Island is situated outdoors, where the dazzling Magic Castle is located as well as thrilling high-altitude rides that you can't experience elsewhere, and there is also a peaceful trail around the lake. One of the major reasons tourists are attracted to Lotte World is the amusement rides. The Gyro Drop and Gyro Swing are the top pleasers– fall an altitude of 70 meters, or taste the thrilling sensation of being inside a tornado. You may need to take your shoes off before you get on as they may come off during the ride. The Flume Ride is a long boat with a high-altitude wave, and the Spanish Pirate Ship swings at an electrifying 75 degrees. Besides the excitement of these rides, Lotte World also contains a variety of parades and laser shows. The 200 performers bring World Carnival Parade (music, singing, and dancing) which adds excitement to the theme park. The parade takes place at 2p.m. and 7:30p.m, and the laser show is held in the late evening at 9:30p.m.
