Lotte Word in Korea

[bluefaery]

I'm sorry if this in posted in the wrong section, please feel free to move it.

I wanted to share these two pictures that my friend got for me while she was visiting South Korea. When she handed me the pictures her exact words were "Look I went to a Disney park in South Korea." All I did was roll my eyes. I didn't have the heart to tell her she was wrong as she has never been to a real Disney park.

Sorry if the pics are big.

Actually I just searched for Lotte World, and it's surprisingly nice! Wikipedia was pretty sparse, but I got the impression it started as an indoor park and then expanded with a man made island.

Do a Google image search, I think you'll be surprised. It's not Disney or Universal quality of course, but it's miles above any American Six-Flags.

Yes, Lotte World, while having some Disney themed touches, isn't really a clone. I haven't been there, but I've seen the TPR videos and stuff like that, it does look quite nice, and is the top theme park in South Korea

I was going through some old picture albums and it turns out that while I was living in either S. Korea or Japan in the late 80s to early 90s my family took a trip to Lotte World. I don't remember much as I was a small child, but from the pics it looks like most of the park is in fact indoors, or at least it was at the time I was there.

I remember Lotte World having gone when I lived in S. Korea, it is no Walt Disney World, it's nice, but no WDW.

According to Wikipedia, it is the world's largest indoor theme park. The official English version of their website is here: http://www.lotteworld.com/Global_eng/Main.asp
