Fly to Seoul : Day 5 (Lotte World)

annyeong haseyo~...continuing with day 5 i.e. Lotte World day...went out a bit late that day as we were exhausted from the Nami Island day trip...went out from our hotel at about 12.30pm after the zuhur prayers...off to Lotte World via subway from Seollung station line 2 to Jamsil station...the Lotte World is actually an indoor theme park, similar to the Berjaya Times Square indoor theme park...but ofcourse, Lotte World is much, much more bigger than Times Square's...Lotte World is the world's largest indoor theme park according to the Guinness World Record...not sure what's the name of the building Lotte World is located, it was Lotte Mall or something...Lotte World basically is divided into 2 main sections, Adventure land and Magic Island...Adventure land is located indoor while Magic Island is outside the main building and are interconnected...

Lotte World was not that far from our hotel...so, in less than 30 minutes we were already there...bought the ticket at a discounted price of 34,200 won coz we bought 3 tickets...took a few snaps at the entrance before going in and then the fun begins...as soon as we arrived in there, the first parade of the day i think just started...great timing :P ...there were quite many characters including some of the Disney's characters...the parade was about 20 minutes if my timing was right...quite a nice parade it was actually...after the parade, we then started exploring the Adventure land...the Adventure land was divided to 4 floors where each floor has it's own attractions...most of the thrilling rides we did not tried as my wife is afraid plus my mother-in-law was together...since both of them can't ride on most of the attractions, i too decided not to gave it a try coz where is the fun if it's only me alone...so, we only ride on those less & non-thrilling rides...






















we first rode on the World Monorail...it's similar to our monorail as the cabin train brought us round the whole theme park, in and outdoor...the ride took about almost 15 minutes...after that, we went to ride on the Jungle Adventure...we entered a dark cave on a jungle boat...it's like riding a boat maneuvering the rivers in a dark cave...was quite fun but wasn't really thrilling which my mother-in-law rode too...after Jungle Adventure, we then went to ride the Aeronauts Baloon Ride...the Aeronauts Baloon Ride is a hot baloon which the difference is that it doesn't move using hot air but instead is already attached to the rails where it rounds the whole indoor theme park...was quite fun as if we were riding on a hot air baloon overlooking the whole indoor theme park...


















after the Aeronauts Baloon Ride, we then wanted to try the Pharaoh's Fury but due to the long queue, we decided to skip that first...so we went to the Dynamic Theater...the Dynamic Theater is some sort similar to the Genting's Motion Master...i haven't tried the Genting's Motion Master yet, so couldn't compare which was the best...but the Dynamic Theater was thrilling although we only sat on the same seat...but the visual, effects and the motion of the seat really made us felt we were on an actual roller coaster...was an interesting experience...after that, we went out to the Magic Island...








the Magic Island is where the fun & thrilling experience is all about...here is where u can test your limit...for those dare devils out there, Atlantic Adventure, Gyro Drop, Gyro Swing, Bungee Drop & Comet Express awaits you...ofcourse i didn't try all those as my wife was not fit to ride on those...so me and my wife only ride on the Swing Tree and the Waikiki Wave...after at the Magic Island for around 40 minutes, we then went in back to the indoor, the Adventure land...me & my wife then went to queue up to ride on the Pharaoh's Fury while my mother-in-law sat on a bench waiting for us...the Pharaoh's Fury is like a ride inside the mummy's tomb and in the pyramids...was quite fun and there was one part of it which luckily my mother-in-law haven't joined as the car zoomed down a cliff...overall it was okay...












immediately after we exited the Pharaoh's Fury, the next parade took place...another perfect timing...this time, they were different characters than the previous...so, was not a boring one to watch...the parade this time was a bit shorter...around 15 minutes i think...after that, we went to the 4-D Theater to watch the 4-D short clip movie...it's similar to the HK Disneyland's 4D theater but the HK Disneyland's was much more fun & better...the show was not that long...in about 15 minutes, the show ended...after the 4-D Theater show, we then went around to the souvenir shops there to get some souvenirs, as usual :P...after done souvenir shopping, we then took a seat in front of the stage theater where a stage show was taking place...kids would definitely enjoy watching it...there was Peter Pan, Pinochio & Dorothy from Wizard of The Oz, and other characters as well...after almost half an hour, the stage theater show then ended to give way for the multimedia laser show which was the finale for the day...the reason why we waited there was because to watch the multimedia laser show actually...after waiting for about 20 minutes, the multimedia laser show then started...was quite nice & interesting to watch but not that much to WOW about...






















the multimedia laser show was not that long...in about 15 minutes, the show ended and it's time for us to make a move to head back to the hotel...before heading back to the hotel, we thought of having a diner first at a Kebab restaurant at Gangnam called Pasha Kebab restaurant which was quite near our hotel area....we tried to find the restaurant but unfortunately couldn't find it due to we have not searched and surveyed for the location of the hotel prior to head there...as a result, we went back to the hotel starving and only had maggi cup when back at the hotel...after diner and shower, went to bed to call off for the day...

stay tuned for my day 6 Korea trip...Namdaemun market & NANTA Show...
