Korea is a perfect place to visit for everyone, whether it's Kpop concerts, themed cafes, stores with beautiful clothes, and other activities you can only experience in the country. For this reason, the number of renowned theme parks in Korea may surprise you! 

Some of them are Seoul Grand Park, Lotte World, and Everland Theme Park, the largest theme park in the country and the home of the world's fourth steepest wooden roller coaster? 

The biggest theme park in South Korea, Everland, has great rides, one-of-a-kind attractions, and of course, a magnificent zoo where everybody can enjoy a good experience with nature and animals. The park is located on the outskirts of Seoul in Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province, which takes around 2-3 hours or more to get from Seoul.

Without a doubt, this is a great location to visit if you're looking for various activities. In addition, there are ongoing celebrations such as the Summer Water Festivals, Rose Festivals, and Tulip Festivals, so even if they don't like scary coasters, it's a terrific spot for families and couples. 

An interesting fact: Coming to Everland Korea is even more exciting because of the parades held both during the day and at night.

The theme park, based on Disney World but in a much smaller size, has a ton of entertaining attractions and receives more than 7 million people each year. With those attendance figures, one can only speculate about the weekend throngs, especially during peak periods like summer vacation.

Everland Korea consists of five distinct theme zones, including Global Fair, American Adventure, Magic Land, European Adventure, and Zootopia, all of them unmissable. Nevertheless, we want to recommend to you some of the best rides that you could find in Everland. Are you ready?

Located in the Magic Land area, be prepared for Thunder Falls and enjoy this timeless coaster's thrilling ride! The ride features the biggest drop in Korea at 20 meters, but don't be fooled by the beautiful natural scenery—there may be dips with water sprays that will take you off guard!

Have you ever thought of 6 people mounted on the arms of a giant robot for three-minute in a four-dimensional experience? The Robot VR allows them to rotate 360 degrees six meters above the ground! As they speed through a city on fire, shooting opponents and grinding massive rails, VR immerses players directly in action. In 2017, Samsung C&T and a local business jointly developed Robot VR, which debuted at Everland Korea amusement park.

At Everland Korea, the Rolling X-Train roller coaster is a standout attraction that deserves your attention. Enjoy this exciting and enjoyable trip that will stimulate your senses.

Ride the Let's Twist to keep up with the excitement. This action is more vigorous than Double Rock Spin but with more movements. The swirls and bends are rather disorienting. Prepare yourself for a spinning ride! 

The T Express, one of the greatest roller coasters in the world, is Everland Korea's most popular attraction. The wooden roller coaster has 5,000 feet of track and is around 200 feet tall. The initial drop is at a 77-degree angle. The speed and height terrify guests while providing an unparalleled burst of adrenaline.

Would you consider taking a scenic ride that offers a lovely perspective of the theme park? Everland is dispersed over a sizable, hilly region that requires much walking. It can be a difficult hike during harsh weathers. Navigating Everland is more straightforward with the Skyway chair lift and Sky Cruise gondola.
