Today we went to an Amusement Park called Lotte World Adventure. We already went there on our first mission to Seoul. Only then it was part of a city tour we took and we didn't had a lot of time.. 1,5 hours.
This year theme is "Sharon Cat's Secret Party". It looks like a Masquerade Ball.
Lotte World looks has the same idea as Disneyland and is more focused on younger children than Everland. We went to Everland on our second mission in Seoul and it is more for older children. It's bigger and has more thrill rides than Lotte World Adventure.
Look, Maurice is still here too ;)
The Park is an in- and outdoor themepark and is also connected to a mall, movie theater and hotel. On the ground level is an ice-rank. The park has 4 levels where you find the attractions, shopping venders and food & beverage.
It still amazes us when we see the park. To have a park like this isn't that strange.. because this theme park is the largest indoor theme park in the world. It stands in the Guiness Book of Records
Because Lilia loves cats and she misses her cat Angel. She brought cat ears. Meow, meow ^^
The smell of food makes us hungry... so we hunted for food...and Lilia found a delicious looking hotdog... it was also really yummy.
Our first attraction was the World Monorail that goes around the park.. indoor and outdoor. The weather as you can see was really sunny and hot.
It's funny to see that there are several warnings that you can not take a selfie inside the monorail with your selfiestick.
After the ride we saw tha there are also a lot of Gashapon machines and UFO catchers.
Big score at the sushi pluches UFO machines...
Our second ride is on the Aeronauts Balloon Ride.... Meanwhile it's already crowded inside the park. We heard today on our tour that it's field trip season for elementary schools and high schools... So you saw lots of children and students. But also other tourists and ofcourse couples.
Aeronatus Balloon Ride is where you sit in a hot-air balloon that takes a ride above the park. Last time we took the ride alone, but this time because there were lot of people we had to share it with other people.
Look how high the hot-air balloon is. If you are afraid of heights you will be scared...
Back on the ground Lilia has found some good company.....
Hello Exo... shall we take a group picture?
When we were in the hot-air balloon.. something caught Kurisu's attention....
So after Lilia got her groupsphoto, we sprinted to the UFO Catcher Machine... It's because they has Marvel stuff in it...
And as you can see... we caught Spidey and Iron Man.
Then it was time to go outside... It's called Magic Land. The other time we didn't got the chance to see the park outside...
It has a castle as you can see... It kind of makes me think of the Disney Castle of Princess Aurora.
Through the gate you enter the Magic Island where you can find more attractions, but everywhere there is a long waiting line. So we walked around and deciding to go back inside.
On our way back we saw the Lotteworld Tower which is going to open this year.
The Lotteworld Tower is 555m high and will be the highest building in Korea with 123 floors. It has 7 different complexes. Its like a city within a city.
We found a ice cream vendor.... Kurisu choose a watermelon flavour and Lilia the mango flavour. It was really delicious and perfect for the hot weather.
After the park we went to Toys R Us. Which is just outside the park.
Kurisu found the collection of Kidult: Mania. They had collectibles of Marvel, DC, Anime and Star Wars for sale that isn't for smaller kids...
The toy store is really amazing. It's not just a paradise for children. It's really beautiful how they display the toys.. After browsing around, we got hungry and went to the foodcourt downstairs.
Foodcourt is where you can eat all kinds of food... First you have to choose what you want to eat and then pay for it. You get a buzzer and when your food is ready.. the buzzer buzz and gives light... Then you can pick up your food at the counter of the food vendor that makes the food.
At the cash counter you see examples of the food dishes on display...
You can see before hand how the dishes looks like and what the prices are.
They also show which food is the best or has most been eaten by customers.
Lilia's soft Tofu Stew with Pork & Kimchi. It was delicious, but spicy.
Kurisu's Korean Style Egg and Rice Cake Ramen. It was also delicous and spicy.
Selfie before we digged in. After dinner we wanted to go to Han River for the Rainbow Bridge. We went there on Monday, but due technical problems it didn't ran their special show.
Like monday the view is really amazing. With high hopes we walked to the place where we can sit down to watch the show.
It became chiller... there was a strong wind.. we were afraid that we are not going to see the rainbow bridge show this time.
Slowly the time for the show is came... We suddenly heard an announcement again... but luckly this time it was a different announcement... A few minutes, later than planned.... the Rainbow show started.
The light weren't clear.. because of the daylight, but it started to get darker... And then we saw the rainbow colours more clearer.... The 'fountain' moves with music that is playing on the background...
A lot of students and couple are gathered here at Hangang Park earlier to go picknick or just hanging around to eat and drink beer.... There are some who set up a tent to sleep there.
Meanwhile it got darker and colder... so it was time to go back to the hotel.
This blog a day later than planned... because today we went on a DMZ tour. The pickup was at 7.30.
The full story comes in the next blog...
This post we close with the Shopping/UFO Machine Haul of Kurisu.
