Gyeongju World, Entertainment complex in Gyeongju, South Korea
Gyeongju World is an amusement park in the city of Gyeongju in North Gyeongsang province, with rides and attractions spread across several themed areas. The park features five operating roller coasters along with other rides and entertainment options distributed throughout the grounds in different zones.
The park opened in 1985 as a small facility and grew over time into one of South Korea's largest entertainment destinations. This growth reflects increasing demand for recreational facilities in the region and investments that transformed it into a modern amusement center.
The park weaves elements from the Gyeongju region into its attractions and creates a space where visitors can experience local customs and traditions through seasonal festivals. These events reflect the cultural calendar and give you a sense of how people celebrate throughout the year.
The park tends to get crowded on weekends and holidays, so weekdays or early mornings offer shorter waits and a more comfortable experience. It helps to wear comfortable shoes and plan your day around the major rides when lines are typically shorter.
One of the park's roller coasters is known for its extreme drop angle and multiple inversions, making it one of the most intense rides in the region. This distinct design draws thrill-seekers and sets it apart from other attractions in the park.
