Lotte World: Hopping Up and Down Like a Flog

[The Angry Darren Mullins]

I have been to Lotte World 17 times. I think it seems like a safe park despite the accusations being made regarding the recent death of a rider on Atlantis Adventure. I do think the park has committed some crime when it comes to translation though. The Frog Hopper is labeled as the Flog Hooper on the park's English map. The description of the ride says "hopping up and down like a flog". I am not sure if a ride where people get flogged sounds very fun or not.

Harmonyland is # 1

While I havn't seen any accusations against the park, I can vouch for it being a very nice, safe place, and one with crazy curved escalators!

.. wouldn't that traslate into "Grandama land" in korean?...

I will have to check with my Korean ladyfriend about the translation of Harmonyland, which is my favorite park...which says a lot considering I have been to Tokyo Disneyland, Nagashima Spaland, Everland, Lotte World, Paramount's Kings Island, Cedar Point, BGW, Universal's IOA and Kennywood. How neat it is that a children's park in Japan became my favorite park when I visited it last year.

The man who was killed on the ride was drunk, and the safety supervisor failed to check his harness, so I dont think it was the parks fault. However, police do plan to charge the supervisor.

Hey, Darren!

I am visiting South Korea in a few days. Do you know anything about Sorak Waterpia? I am looking for operating hours, but neither google nor babelfish are having much luck translating the website while I am at sea.

 

I am pretty certain I will need to take a taxi as the train stops pretty far from the resort. If you can help, that'd be great!

[The Angry Darren Mullins]

You will need to take a tour bus to Sokcho as the train doesn't go there. Once in Sokcho, take a city bus. I haven't been to Waterpia yet, so I do not know for sure which bus. I will be going to Waterpia in the next two months. There are two coasters there. If you are looking to visit other parks in Korea, please let me know. I have been to most of them and I can help you find them.
