Imagine how Disneyland would have turned out if Walt was on crack, and you get Lotteworld! Located in the Jamsil area of Seoul, Lotteworld is a huge complex consisting of a hotel, department store, outlet mall, swimming pool, bowling alley, Korea's biggest shooting range, move theaters, and an ice-rink.
Of course, the main focus here is Lotteworld Adventure and Magic Island. Both of these are accessable using the same ticket (around 15 pounds for an all inclusive). Lotteworld Adventure is the indoor section of the park, and Magic Island is located outside, surrounded by Sukchon Lake.
This place really is a world-class park, boasting its fair share of world firsts and some of the best themed rides to be found anywhere.
Plans/applications have also been put forward by Lotte to construct Lotteworld 2 on a patch of land they own next to the existing Lotteworld. The proposal would cost an estmated $1,250,000,000 and includes an 800m (2,625ft) hotel, which, if built, would be the world's tallest building. Fingers crossed........
The future tallest building in the world at 2, 695ft, is over 1000ft taller than the current world's tallest building Taipei 101 at 1,670ft.
