I thought I would be stuck in the office
doing work for the whole of my trip, but thankfully we had places to visit.
Halloween was approaching, so it seems Lotte world had a theme going on there.
If your name contain at least 4 characters from the word ‘Halloween’, you can
get 50% off your ticket, and if you dress up with at least 80% of your face
painted or something you can get 60% off. Foreigners weren’t entitled to
anything, but the personnel was so nice she just gave us a discount. Yay!
The guys wanted to dress up there, but I
was too lazy so I just refused. In the end, we woke up at 10 and there was just
simply no time to dress up. By the time we reached there it was already noon.
We were starving so we stopped by a food court to eat. I like Korean foodcourt
because of all the appetizing Korean food sold there. This time, a
Singapore/thai/Korean mix caught my eye – the following couple set. I like
these kind of chapalang dishes hurhur.
We went in only around 2pm+? but we soon
realized that there wasn’t really much to do.
A lot of rides (especially the
good ones) required Lotte passes, which is only obtainable via their phone app.
And you have to log in every 15mins to reserve a slot. The most ridiculous
thing is a the start of each 15mins interval, the slots are ALWAYS taken up.
It’s a game of the fastest fingers/phone/data streaming first =_= we all agreed
that this is the worst thing any theme park has made. And the next in line was
the decision to come here on a Saturday. In any case, there's still some interesting Halloween stuff to see even if it's not as great as USS
stopped by Gong cha for a drink and there was a group of trumpet players who stopped there coincidentally too.
In any case, we went for the boring
‘haunted’ 3D screening where you travel through a weird house through the eyes
of a cat, then rode on the bumper car. Those didn’t require any passes.
Luckily, Mr K had some pretty fast fingers and managed to catch the slots for
the Gyro swing, Atlantis and one of the haunted house – which is the cat movie
we were watching before. The thing is, after 6pm, some rides changed to become
totally different. In this case, the 3D movie switched to just a movie, with
live acting. There were even ghastly looking dolls sitting on the benches. It
was actually pretty creepy.
We went to queue for this VR show, which only
allows a limited number of 100 people each day. However, we didn’t manage to
catch it… I was looking at the youtube video of some foreigners who did and it
seem pretty scary!!
I’m thinking that Lotte must have a change in management,
because they are limiting a lot of changed haunted rides to only 100 people per
day so that people can keep returning to try their luck at queuing for these
items. It’s sick. Makes me NOT want to come back again.
We managed to catch another haunted ride –
which is basically a kiddy ride. I can imagine that it must have been an all
smiley, sesame street kinda ride in the day, but because they changed the
lighting and the music, everything inside seem to turn scary! It was actually
not a very scary ride since nothing much was changed aside from that, and there
were some female ghosts popping out to scare you, but it was still fun to see
Mr K and Ark up in the first row with their ears covered. I sat with Pion
because she brings me so much courage. Pion so brave!! She no scared of
anything!!! 8DDDD
In any case, we exited the theme park after
that, and went to look for Wacki and Skasha at a nearby food area. Settled down
for some bbq (again), yay! After that, we went home to Yongin via the express
bus. At least the day had been entertaining!!
