Phaethon

The silver track with black supports stretches 3280 feet, reaching heights of 147 feet and speeds of 55 miles per hour through loops and corkscrews.

Opening on May 5, 2007, Phaethon marked South Korea's first inverted roller coaster, built with an investment of 15 billion South Korean won.

The name stems from Greek mythology, referencing the son of Helios who attempted to drive the sun chariot across the sky.

Two trains operate simultaneously, each containing eight cars that accommodate four riders per row, allowing 32 passengers per train.

The track layout includes six inversions featuring a vertical loop, zero-g roll, cobra roll, and multiple corkscrews across a 2-minute and 20-second journey.
