Everland Resort and Theme-park
Gangnam station exit6; then bus 5002 (bus every 15mins) / Suwon station; then bus 66 or 6000 (bus every 30 mins)
Sledding at Everland would have been the highlight of our trip. Prior to our flight, we have checked out several ski resorts. The themed-park Everland was our top choice because of price, location and its attractions. The bus frequency from Gangnam station to Everland is every 15 minutes so we decided to go there.  And yes, we learned our lesson when riding buses. We showed a picture of Everland to the driver so that we could get off at the right bus stop. And when we got back, we took a picture of the bus route and show the driver where we would get off.

Disaster at Neverland

We learned that Snow world, including the Snow buster (their sledding ride) was closed. We have already argued with the Everland cashiers because of wrong change. It was stressful because of the language barrier so we decided to get in instead of asking for a refund. It’s probably our age; we’re really not interested in themed parks any more. And yes, this is where T-express can be found… one of the longest and the steepest wooden roller coaster in the world… yet didn’t bother riding it. We could have ridden it, but the waiting time is too long (I’m not sure if I’ve seen the correct queue for this ride).

We went to the European section of the park first, and looked for a place to eat,  we ended up in the Amsterdam area of the park and ate sausages and rice. :S

They probably closed snow world because it was late-winter, and the snows were already melting. We have no choice but to take some pictures with Snowbuster as the background. I could just imagine us being crazy like kids while sledding… that dream needs to wait a little longer.

Everland suits families. Its rides are made mostly for children. Inside is a mini-zoo which is quite enjoyable (especially for kids).

Overall, we rode 2 attractions, the lazer-then-shoot-the-monster-while-pretending-to-be-scared and the we’ll-show-that-you-have-been-turned-upside-down mirror ride. I think the mirror attraction was fascinating, except for the introduction part where 2 monster-figures are talking in Korean and we can’t understand a word.hehe. The lazer-shooting attraction was good too… but the waiting time was too much for the attraction itself. I guess Everland would be more enjoyable if we were able to sled in it. BTW, I guess the most interesting part as a Pinoy was the heater inside it. It’s alien-like and don’t resemble a heater at all.

After the ride we dropped by the souvenir store, where they have animal-inspired accessories. It was cute, but way too expensive.

So would I go back to Everland again? Probably never.

That’s it. It was our last day in Korea. It was an enjoyable winter-experience overall.
