robbalvey Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hey everyone! We have finally completed our long overdue update from South Korea! Click here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=400&linkid=3570 This update includes photos and videos from tons of very "unique" parks from South Korea. You'll see: - Lotte World - Everland - Kyungju World - Woobang Towerland - Kumdoriland - Seoul Land and MORE! And we have some POV videos of some very "rare" coasters including Everland's Eagle Fortress, the most amazing Arrow suspended EVER! Lotte World's Atlantis Adventure...yes that's right, it's the official "Aqua Trax", the ONLY Arrow "triple corkscrew" coaster (yes, you read that right) and Vekoma's tallest looping coaster in the world! That's 25 pages of more than 500 photos and 5 POV Videos of lots of crazy South Korea parks! Check it out now! --Robb Alvey www.themeparkreview.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 SWEET, have already looked through some of the photos, and it's ace. Mmmm, it's going to be nice to get back to Eagle Fortress. Screw T-Express (oops what am I saying)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 A park in a foreign country, with a Dunkin Donuts? I would be in absolute heaven. Great Updates Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastuso Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Excellent, these will come in handy to prepare for my... Wait a minute. I'm glad you were punctual with these. Were you waiting for me to return first? Actually, this just reinforced my opinion of Seoul Land and Kiddie Park. I'm glad I didn't kill myself to get to those parks while I was there. My resilliance to Arrow and Vekoma crap loopers is pretty low nowadays. So, I skip most of them, including that one at Everland. I loved the beginning of the Eagle's FOrtress vid. Hearing someone talk about Peanut Butter Roaster Squid brings back memeories. Although he apparently liked it, there was no way I was going to try it, even when I was at a mall that had free samples. I sure wish I would have noticed that there was a BK at Everland, I would have eaten there for sure. So, are any of the non-Seoul parks worth a visit? IT seems the one with the B&M invert is, but maybe that's it. Getting to those parks by bus was a pretty tough affiar, and would have made for a long day to get a couple of credits, plus I wasn't there for as long as originally scheduled. Thanks for the pics. -RO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeemerBoy Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 HOLY CRAP!! That POV of Eagle Fortress is unfrickin'believable! The speed, the location......heck, this is one of those rides where you honestly don't even need to actually ride it to understand why it cracked the top 10 this past year. Thank you again for the POV, Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'd forgotten what an awesome week or so that was. Eagle Fortress was one of the best coasters I've ever been one! Next time I'll be first on the bus to get to Everland! R&E - Thanks again for some awesome memories of an awesome time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscoe Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Eagle Fortress looked insane, while the POV gave you some idea, it wasn't till you turned the camera around. Holy Crap what a wild ride. Thanks for the great trip report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 What an AMAZING update! Some of the photos and captions had me laughing out loud. I'm pretty sure my roommate thinks I'm nuts. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope that I can someday afford to take a TPR trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 After seeing all these great pictures I'm a little bummed that I was unable to do the Korea Add on last year. I'm not making that mistake again! Looking forward to T-Express and Eagle Fortress in a couple of weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagro5 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks for going out of you're way to do this for all of us, Robb! YOU'RE A BEAST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 There are a lot of reasons I hang out on TPR over, say, RRC--and things like on ride footage of the seldom-photographed Eagle Fortress is one of them! I'm still not entirely sure what you get out of all of this, Robb. But count me among those who appreciate all that you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 ^ Thank you Erik! Time to unstick this. If you haven't read through our Korea update, you should do it now! Lots of great stuff in there: http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=400&linkid=3570 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomNick Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Robb, that update of the Korean trip is nothing short of spectacular! Plain and simple, you and your site here pretty much rock. Being pretty new here, I think to myself "what the hell took me so long to join the party?!?" The dedication you and Elissa put into this site is beyond words. We members are a lucky bunch for sure. And that POV from Eagle Fortress?? Oh. My. Freaking. GOD!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 ^ Heh...thank you! The Korea trip was awesome! There were a lot of GREAT parks there. I think Everland and Lotte World could be two of my favorite parks in the world. Now that T-Express is open at Everland, even more so! (We'll have some amazing POV and video of that coming soon.) Seriously...if you haven't checked out our Korea parks update yet, you need to! Some great stuff in there! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
