...CONTINUED

Seven Mole - whack enough of 'em and win one of the prizes behind the above panels.

The BishiBashi game is extremely fun and absolutely ridiculous. Play it if you ever have a chance.
You get to make girls in bikinis eat snowcones at an incredibly fast pace. Look!

Yep... that just happened.

Wacky photo opportunity time. Har!

Why so glum, chum?

TETRIS: GIANT.

Making our way over to the outdoor Magic Island area.

I'll take this over Disney any day.

Another shot of the castle.

Ghost House!

A warning sign perhaps? Let's see.

Wow, this one actually has alternate English text. Here's what it says:

You follow the cat out of the storm and into the house.
No need to be scared everything looks normal.
But wait, did those toys just move?
Did something just brush by you?
As the hair on the back of your neck stands up and a chill runs down your spine,
you realize that things are not what they seem in this house... this Ghost House.

With decorations like that, there's no way I'm skipping out on this one.

I wish they sold that on a t-shirt.

Alright, enough staring... time to head in.

Unfortunately this is all I can show you, as it was a 3D show you watch with glasses on.
It basically starts out with a first-person perspective of a cat going into a Ghost House, and soon enough,
everything in sight is trying to kill you. Toys, snakes, ghost dogs... you name it. Not really scary, just funny.
In the end, there's a big twist ending where........................ the cat realizes it's already a ghost too! AHHHHH!!!!!

Automatic weapons, neon swords, magic wands and... masks from the Saw and Scream film franchises.

More roller-coaster goodness and nice architecture.

Heading back inside, we notice that a lot of people are carrying around waffles. Waffles.

Cooked on the spot and filled with chocolate and creme... sure as hell beats peanut buttered roast squid for a snack.

Quite the gruesomely ornate control panel (complete with uzis) for a House of the Dead game.

I really liked how these cabs looked. Damnit, why can't we have these locally?

I can think of no better way to end this Lotte World pictorial than with a photo of a game which
features a shark who will apparently gum you to death. Quick! Before it visits a dentist! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!!

I feel like you don't need to be told this after seeing all the photographs and video footage, but in case you haven't realized it yet... Lotte World rules. If you ever plan a trip to South Korea, make sure you set aside a day on your itinerary to visit this place, because you will leave not only feeling like you got your money's worth, but you'll leave with a bajillion memories of an insane land filled with sensory overloads wherever you look. Naturally, I can't recommend visiting during the Christmas holiday season enough, because they really deck the halls and have two indoor Christmas parades every day.

Alright, that pretty much wraps up my coverage of our traveling adventures in South Korea for this season. I hope you enjoyed this Lotte World pictorial and that it helped give you a better sense of what a crazy place it really is. Please lemme know what you thought of it all by dropping a comment in the section below. Ho, ho, ho.
