10 Must Try Rides in Lotte World
If you’re unaware, I am actually not a fan of over-adventurous rides. Hence the rides I recommend will be more suitable for the faint-hearted like myself.
#1: CAMELOT CAROUSEL
Location: Adventure 1st Floor
Camelot Carousel
The Camelot Carousel is a graceful run of 64 white wooden horses revolving in a dreamy trail.
This ride is apparently very popular among the children as the queuing time was approximately 30 minutes.
This Carousel was also featured in popular Korean Drama – Stairway to Heaven previously.
#2: Drunken Basket
Location: Adventure 1st Floor
Drunken Basket
This is the “upgraded” version of the conventional kiddy Teacup ride.
Drunken Basket consists of Drunken Barrels that spins individually whilst the entire ride itself tilts sideways. It was rather unexpected from a harmless looking Teacup ride to spin like crazy. In fact we had to hold on to the handle to stop the individual barrel from spinning as the entire ride tilts. I did get a little bit of “cup sickness” after the ride.
#3: 3D DESPERADOS
Location: Adventure 1st Floor
3D DESPERADOS
The 3D Desperados is a 3D show screened on a wide IMAX screen theater, where the seats are in the form of a horse. The seats move in all directions in accordance with the screen image.
We had great fun watching at this attraction as the stimulation felt so real.
Passengers over 120 kg or under 120 cm must sit on a coach seat.
#4: THE ADVENTURES OF SINBAD
Location: Adventure 1st Floor
A fun-filled ride along the river as you sail along one of Sinbad’s legendary voyage.
#5: FLUME RIDE
Location: Adventure 1st Floor
FLUME RIDE
This is a log ride consisting of a 4-seater long boat that travels through a Jurassic Jungle.
It is formerly known as “The Marrakesh Express”.
This ride looks pretty scary as the slope was pretty steep when the boat took the plunge. I dare not try this ride to be honest but it is definitely a lot milder than the roller coaster rides there.
#6: WILD JUNGLE
Location: Adventure 1st Floor
This is another 4D Animation Show similar to the 3D Desperados earlier.
#7: BUMPER CAR
Location: Adventure 2nd Floor
Bumper Car
Note: You must be 140cm & above to ride
Dreamt of being a car racer when you’re young?
Bumper Car
The adult Bumper Car ride is the ideal entertainment for you to satisfy your driving desires and also bump onto other cars in a safe environment.
#8: LOTTY’S HOT-AIR BALLOON FLIGHT
Location: Adventure 4th Floor
Lotte’s Air Balloon
This is the most attractive playing facility in Lotte’s Section and we waited for approximately 20-30 minutes to board this.
As a perk, you get a bird’s eye view of the entire Adventure Theme Park as well.
#9: PHAROAH’S FURY
Location: Adventure 4th Floor
PHAROAH’S FURY
The Pharoah’s Fury is a multi-motion ride where passengers board a jeep and travel through ancient Egypt.
The stimulation feels as if we were right at the steering wheel as we journeyed through the entire ride.
#10: FANTASY DREAM
Location: Magic Island
FANTASY DREAM
This is a fantasy train ride for underground exploration to fantasy land where sweet candies and cute stuffed animals / dolls welcome you!
The hubs find the dolls (especially the clown one) creepy though. He kept calling the clown “Chucky” as we went through the ride (if you watched my vlog earlier).
Rides We Will NEVER Try
Above are the top 10 rides we recommend. However for those adventurous ones (sorry, age is catching up on us), here are a few of the super scary rides to try.
#1: GIANT LOOP
Location: Adventure 1st Floor
The Giant Loop is a Larson’s Fireball Type Roller Coaster Ride made only of one big loop.
Passengers are constantly taken for 360 degree spins in a 14m wide circular rail.
The vehicle will stop whilst upside down.
#2: THE CONQUISTADOR
Location: Adventure 1st Floor
The Conquistador
The Conquistador is an Intamin-made Viking ship ride that swings back and forth, almost reaching the ceiling of Lotte World at its maximum height. The seats at the ends of the ship rise 5 more meters and 24 degrees higher than the seats towards the middle.
I have motion sickness and hence will avoid this ride at all costs.
#3: GYRO SWING / GYRO DROP / GYRO SPIN
Location: Magic Island
- GYRO DROP
- GYRO SWING
Yes, I’m putting a strict ban on all rides beginning with “Gyro”.
My heart is too weak for them.
#4: SWING TREE
Location: Magic Island
SWING TREE
As harmless as this ride looks.. I’m avoiding it because it can cause dizzy spells!
