A Weekend Trip to GyeongJu World Amusement Park(경주월드)

  As Spring has come, the weather is wonderful these days. Such weather makes people go out for a picnic. I was not the exception. For the weekend, I went to an amusement park, GyeongJu World which is located in GyeongJu, Gyeongsang province. 

  GyeongJu is very famous for historic relics of Korea. Many people visit GyeongJu for field trips, but GyeongJu World is also one of the best attractions of GyeongJu. In GyeongJu World, there is an amusement park, a water park called California beach, and a juvenile training centre. GyeongJu world is crowded with people visiting the water park especially in summer.

  Since I'm currently staying in Busan, which is in Gyeongsang province, GyeongJu World is quite close to Busan. So, why not? I went there. It was my first time I visited there, so I was excited.

 

   That is GyeongJu Station. I took a train, and it takes about one and a half hours from Haeundae station, which is in Busan, to GyeongJu station by Mugunghwa train. It costs about 5000 won. Cheap and quick.

  Here I am. GyeongJu World is not that far from the station.

 

  I took a Ferris wheel.

  The view from the Ferris wheel is quite great.

  There are two specialised areas, which are Wizard Garden and X-Zone. Here are the photos of Wizard Garden area.

 

 

  Wizard Garden is designed like a magical world, so children usually enjoy this area.

  X-Zone is for those who seek for extreme rides such as a rollercoaster.

  That is Mega Drop in X-Zone. It is 70m high, and it is the highest ride among Korean Mega Drop rides. Doesn't it look so scary? Yes. I took a ride, and I was almost freaked out.

  I also rode Tornado, which is similar to a pirate ship ride. It was also a extreme-thriller.

  Phaethon. That is a kind of rollercoaster. It was also exciting. I rode it even three times.

  Time flew like an arrow in GyeongJu World, and I had a really good time. I was exhausted, but I could refresh myself with thrilling rides. GyeongJu World was much better than I'd expected. It was a great trip.
