Three rides target serious thrill-seekers while another six specifically cater to children. Parades with dancers in colorful costumes will be held twice a day. The park’s Giant Swing ride gives a nice view of Haeundae beach before letting loose and rocking back and forth like a swing. It moves similarly to Lotte World Adventure Seoul’s Gyro Swing, but its pillars are taller for larger movements.
