First stop of the day was Lotte World, woohoo! Lotte World is one of the biggest indoor amusement park in the world. It also has an outdoor section. The indoor section is called Adventure Land and the outdoor, Magic Land. Most of the rides are indoors. The sun was scorching hot today and we are like dying from exhaustion. The waiting time gets longer as time pass. When we arrived, about an hour after it opened, the average waiting time was about 20mins. Some did not even have any queue. By mid afternoon, the average waiting time was at least 30mins!

#1: The iconic castle of Lotte World.
We recommend you to go to the outdoor section first then the indoor. If you arrive just when it is about to open, there is a lot less people, so you would not have to wait that long under the hot sun. After trying the outdoor rides and get baked under the sun, return to the indoor section to cool down with the air-con. By now, there should be a lot more people than before, and waiting time is a lot longer, but it is still better to wait longer indoors then under the sun right?
#2: Swing Tree.
#3: Gyro Drop.
We did not manage to try all the rides and we have already spent 8hrs there. The waiting time for popular rides is insane and we have to totally skip those out. It is like 80mins, 120mins. You probably will want to consider getting the fast pass. Just when we were about to leave, the Lotte World show was about to start! So we quickly grab our seats and the show was amazing! The names of Lotte World's mascots are Lotty (dialect for 'bread') and Lorry (another name for truck). So funneh~
