Party in the ROK: Lotte World

On Friday I went with some of my friends to Lotte World, which, besides Nam San Tower, is the number one place in Seoul I have wanted to go to. It was even better than I could have imagined! I took so many pictures and videos. The place is HUGE. Despite all the people there, we never had to wait more than 40 minutes for a ride (most waits were like 15 minutes; the longest was for Atlantis Adventure, the roller coaster on Magic Island). Later in the night, we only had to wait 10 minutes or less to get on any ride.

In honor of Halloween, there were Halloween decorations everywhere and a Lotte's Happy Halloween Party parade. The parade ran twice a day and we were actually there long enough to see the afternoon and evening parade. The evening parade was the best because all of the floats lit up. At night, because the only light for Lotte World comes through the glass ceiling, everything was lit up with rainbow Christmas lights.

Here are videos of my three favorite rides:
The Gyro Swing

Pharaoh's Fury (the coolest wait in line EVER. You walk through about 10 rooms that look like art museums and Egyptian tombs. On the ride itself you ride on a Jeep that goes really fast and wobbles. I almost fell out a bunch of times.)

Atlantis Adventure

The hot air balloon ride was also really cool because you could see everything inside Lotte World, but it was really creaky and kind of scary.

So here are some of my many videos. Titles are self-explanatory. For pictures, look at my Facebook album "Seoul."
