Everland Theme Park [Korea]

Was looking forward to visiting South Korea’s largest theme park – Everland. As most of the businesses in Korea, this theme park is owned by a Korean conglomerate – Samsung Group!

It was a cold foggy day but we were all pumped up and excited!

The theme then was Halloween so there were lots of smiling orange pumpkins decorating the park!







First ride: something like a ski lift





Safari ride next!


There are white tigers, lions, bears, giraffes, zebras… and a liger??? What’s a liger??




Up on the bus and everyone is armed to cameras to “shoot” the animals!








Here you can see the Liger! A lion and tiger rolled into one!








Oh my!! Is that dead animal for real??!








Next up a water ride!





What a ride! After that, we were all busy getting to dry ourselves with the dryers available!


Some random shots!



















Then we took some kind of ghost ride that small little kids also can sit! It was a yawn!! But still a nice ride around the beautiful surroundings.




But what I was really looking forward to was the T-Express – the roller coaster ride! Check out the facts!

  • South Korea's first wooden roller coaster
  • World's steepest wooden roller coaster(77 degrees)

See some pictures of how the roller coaster looks from a distance!










Waited close to 45 mins to get on the ride!!




We did it! It was a great ride! Lasted all of 3 mins! Loved it!



More pictures of the roller coaster, taken off the net.








4 hours is definitely not enough for Everland!
