But perhaps the most exciting thing was going to Lotte World! Lotte World is basically the Korean version of Disneyland. Most of the rides were ripoffs. Mickey and Minnie Mouse were morphed into Lotty and Lorry (Raccoon?). Pirates of the Caribbean turned into a Sindbad ride. Indiana Jones was Egyptian themed, but we found the entire cast of the Temple of Doom in another ride.
Are you sure we're supposed to be here Dr. Jones?
What amazes me about Lotte World is how everything is indoors. The entrance is literally in Jamsil station. And there about four different floors with different rides on each. It makes it pretty difficult to navigate, but I applaud the complexity.
There's even another area outdoors that has a similar castle to the one at Disneyland. To copy even more, Lotte World put the castle on their tickets, just like Disneyland does.
The best story of the day was my little tiff with Roger. While we were in line for the Atlantis roller coaster, he was being grumpy. When did decided who we would sit with on the ride, we ended up together. Unhappy with the seating arrangement, he sat with Kelsey instead. I decided to just shut my trap and enjoy the ride. Once everyone got strapped in and our car moved up towards the hill, Kelsey and Roger were talking in the row behind me and Karina.
"He didn't want to sit with me."
Umm... what? And that's when I turned around. The two of us started arguing. Kelsey told us to stop. She said she was about to cry. Karina got worried. And all of a sudden, the car just blasted us up the hill without any warning. The tension was broken (sort of) and I almost knocked my teeth out as my head whipped forward.
It was a pretty lol moment thinking back on it. He apologized later and the day ended with me shoving a taper into his ear in the middle of the supermarket aisle. Awkward.
Random Halloween castle. It's under a giant dome!
