Everland

  • March 30, 2006
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Paul Bacon from Rotherham, United Kingdom
Both Everland and Lotte World in Seoul, are quality theme parks with plenty of top-notch attractions. However, given the choice I would pick Everland everyday of the week, and twice on Sundays. The main reason for this being, not the rides, but the levels of queueing. At Lotte World hours of my life drifted away as I stood in long winding, monotonous lines of dark-haired people as I waited to board a ride. At Everland things were far better, with waiting times for several rides being as low as just 30 minutes.

Perhaps my favorite photograph in the entire world is taken at Everland. A photo was snapped of me, together with three friends, whilst on the park's best ride, the Double Rock Spin. The attraction is one long carriage that is lifted by two giant poles and is spun and flung around in the air. The picture, taken by my friend Alana, captures us just as we are being flipped upside down. In the carriage we are shown with and around 30 Koreans. My friends all have dark hair and I unfortunately have none. Therefore the picture shows 40 bodies topped with dark heads hanging upside down with one solitary dot, slap bam in the middle. I vividly recall getting off the Rock Spin with my legs shaking a little and laughing out load as I saw the snap.

Aside from highlighting my follicle deficiencies, Everland does have plenty more to offer: The Log Flume is small and does not offer all that much danger of getting wet, however the Amazon Adventure rapids ride sends plenty of water everywhere and is great value for laughing for those unfortunate enough to get drenched. Along with these, the Eagle Fortress may not flip upside down or loop the loop, but it goes as fast as your average Korean driver and is a genuine bolt to the senses. The Rolling X Train does flip and at great speed too, alas it is relatively small and all too brief.

I would genuinely recommend Everland. The only drawback is getting there. Whilst it is far easier to get on the rides than at Lotte World, getting there is far more difficult. Lotte World is accessible from the subway, where Everland needs a bus out into Gyeonggi province. I think it is worth it though.
