Visit Korea’s Gyeongju World Amusement Park
If you’re planning a trip to Gyeongsang, whether to visit Changwon’s Yongji Lake or explore popular sites like the Bulguksa, then don’t miss the chance to visit Gyeongju World. With its world-class rides and amenities, this family-friendly amusement park has been featured in top Korean shows, including Running Man and I Live Alone (나 혼자 산다). They’re mainly known for their extreme rollercoasters, but, during winter, their snow attractions are not to be missed.
Here are some of the rides and attractions that you can look forward to, whether as a solo traveler, couple, or group:
1. Draken
Let’s begin with the most popular ride in Gyeongju World Amusement Park: the Draken! This is a steel roller coaster ride that’s constructed by the team behind the Yukon Striker in Canada’s Wonderland, the Diving Machine G5 in Janfusun Fancyworld (Taiwan), and the SheiKra in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (US). The Draken features a hair-raising 90-degree drop, which will give you a very memorable free-fall experience. Definitely a must-try for seasoned riders!
2. Krak
The Krak in Gyeongju World is a monster ride that can rotate 360 degrees. At the start, it’ll swing you to the left and right, but you’ll feel your head spinning when it suddenly jolts up and get you hanging upside down!
3. Python
If you haven’t experienced an inverted roller coaster yet, then you’ll have so much fun with this one. Unlike the regular type, the inverted roller coaster like the Python exposes your legs, so you’ll feel a different sensation as you go through the snake-like track’s twists and turns!
4. Mega Drop
The Mega Drop at Gyeongju World Amusement Park will slowly lift you up to a height of 70m (around 229 ft) before blasting you down at crazy speeds!
5. Submarine Splash
The Submarine Splash is a water roller coaster ride that’s perfect for the summer. With a height of 32m (104 ft), this is one of the highest water coaster in Asia. Feel the extreme turns and the cool splashes of water as you ride this beast in Gyeongju World’s California Beach zone!
6. Ferris Wheel
No trip to Gyeongju World is complete without hopping on their Ferris Wheel. Recommended for couples, kids, and solo adventurers, this attraction will give you a scenic view of the surrounds, including the Bomun Lake Resort!
7. Peggy’s Carousel
Kids and couples who are looking to have a carousel ride will love Peggy’s! Hop on one of the cute horses or an adorable carriage for a magical experience.
8. Dancing Cup
Get your little ones giggling as they ride the Dancing Cup! To make your family trip more memorable, also visit the other child-friendly rides, like the Family Viking, Bumper Car, and the Air Balloon Ride!
9. Sledding Tracks
Gyeongju World Amusement Park is one of the best places to visit in Korea during winter. When the grounds are covered with thick snow, you and your family can sled your way down in three extreme tracks!
