Adrenaline Rush

It's been a while, I'm pretty beat up with my busy life nowadays. And I feel like don't have any feeling to write so I decided to stop for a while and now I'm ready to share my story again to you.


Last Summer Holiday (in Korea weather started to be chilly, Fall is going to come soon), I went to one of the most popular indoor and outdoor theme park in Korea, Lotte World. Since I was a child, the amusement park has always been my favorite place, because there you can scream loud as you can, you can make your adrenaline up, forget about fear, sadness, pains, and tears. The Amusement park is the place where you just see smile not gloomy face. The happiest place on the planet is the Amusement Park.


I arrived around 12.00 PM KST and like what I predicted before there are so many people there, yeah, it's summer holiday and everybody wants to avoid hot crazy summer sun but stay fun of course Lotte World Indoor Theme Park being the best destination. Okay, let's buy the ticket first.

You can see the admission ticket for Lotte World on the top picture. Actually, I need to pay 51,000₩, but because I have a discount from my credit card, I just need to pay around 20,800₩ for one-day pass ticket. Yippee and happy! Let's start to pump out our adrenaline!


Because too many people there, the queue of every attraction had been always too long, we need to wait around 1-2 hours just only to play one game. But it didn't turn off my fire to play.


So, the first game is The Adventure of Sinbad. This attraction is a boat adventure while you can watch the Sinbad story demonstrated by Sinbad look-a-like dolls. This attraction is designed for children so I don't feel the trilled when riding the attractions, but it was great for the first-time ride to warm up your adrenaline before the next scary ride. You can see the review from the top video.



After Sinbad, I and friends went to the outdoor side of this theme park, they called The Magic Island. The weather was so Hot, and the queue was so long. But we decided to take one attraction and come back again here when the sun little bit set. So we picked The Gyro Swing. I ever rode the Gyro Swing before, it's like big spinning vehicle and you are going to go up and down while spinning in the air. For me, it was not scary, but I'm not really matching with Spinning things attraction which they always make me want to throw up after the ride. But it was refreshing and fun enough sees the good view from Seokcho Lake. You can see the review from the top video. For more information, click this link GYRO SWING.



After that, I decided to get more nausea and picked the Giant Loop attractions. And for your information for every 1-day pass ticket, you can get 3 times magic pass. What is the Magic Pass you can see more information and how to get that by this link MAGIC PASS.

Because I get my magic pass so I can directly go inside the attraction without waiting in the queue. So, let's ride! The Giant Loop was always riding-wanted list for me. The Giant Loop is like you take a roller coaster inside of Giant Circle, you are going to round and around inside the circle which makes you turn around to 360 degrees. Once again, I'm not really matching with spinning things attractions, but it feels new because I never take attractions like this kind of attractions. It was fun, but personally, it will be more fun if the roller coaster runs faster. You can see the review from the top video. For more information, click this link GIANT LOOP.


Okay, after shacked my stomach with all spinning attractions, it's time to eat! Lottle World really has a lot of restaurants and cafes spreading around the theme park. But we picked simple Kebab as lunch, the restaurants were called Delkys. It was located on Adventure site at Second Floor and I order Combo Kebab Set / 콤보케밥세트. Combo Kebab Set was contained of Kebab, Friend Fries and Drink. It was good Kebab and very fit to my shacked stomach because the menu not really big and the meat was delicious.
Price: 8,900₩


And again, Kebab seems not enough for my starving stomach and craving for some cheesy and creamy food, we picked Delibon Restaurant and order for Deli Cheese Potato / 델리치츠포테이토 and Chocolate Cream Waffle / 초코와플.

Okay, first let's talk about the Chocolate Cream Waffle, it was very delicious and creamy, the waffle served warm, so it was very perfectly tasty and crunchy as well. I loved it!
Price: I'm sorry because rushed to eat the waffle I even didn't write the price!

And the Deli Cheese Potato was really perfectly synchronized with my tongue! I really love fried fries and the cheese cream sauce was perfect, really 5 stars for that. I really keep craving to eat this Potato!
Price: 4,500₩



After eating, my stomach pretty full (yeah, I ate Kebab Set plus half of Waffle plus half of Fried fries), so we decided to enjoy Lotte World for a while, walk around and sit down for a while. Since we still have 2 Magic Pass, we use the second one to take Jungle Adventure Attraction. Jungle Adventure is the Boat attraction with the faster and spinning routing and you need to be a little wet here. But okay, don't imagine the spectacular things like Jurrasic Boat like Universal Studios or anything like that because the attraction actually not really long (it was really short, and believe me if I'm not using my Magic Pass, I will cry because it's not really worth with very long queue) and the course not really dangerous, it just yeah fun and make you feel chill for a while remember the hot summer outside. You can see the review from the top video. For more information, click this link JUNGLE ADVENTURE.



Last attraction is the most popular attraction in the Lottle World called French Revolution. The French Revolution is indoor 360 degrees Roller Coaster with VCR for every person. Unfortunately, because that day the visitor was like a lot, they don't operate the VCR, but for my personal opinion, this attraction was the best of the best from Lotte World. And maybe for next time, I will try again with the VCR! It was perfect to close your day at Lotte World. You can see the review from the top video. For more information, click this link FRENCH REVOLUTION.

My adrenaline got rushed, my stomach got good food, and my mood got a booster, thanks to the happiest place on the planet, The Amusement Park! That's how I started and finished my day, time to back home, get some rest and be ready for new adventures for the next day. Because you all know life need keep flowing and growing, we just need to enjoy every moment when your smile still on your face.

Hongkong Holiday : DISNEYLAND Part 2

"People say I still have the innocence of a child. Maybe I have. I still look at the world with wonder." –Walt Disney

Alright, still continue from my Disneyland Hongkong Part 1 story.


So first, I will tell you about Disneyland Hongkong attraction parts, they divide by 7 area: Main Street USA, Tomorrow Land, Fantasyland, Adventure Land, Toy Story Land, Mystic Point, and Grizzly Gulch. Every area has very fantastic attractions, like Tomorrowland with Hyperspace Mountain, Toy Story Land with RC Racer, and the Adventureland with their Jungle River Cruise.


After lunch, the sunlight was shining as diamond, the weather was so hot. With the hot weather, I decided to look for a place where is can help me and protect me from the sunlight, so I decided to enjoy the souvenir cafe around there, I was very excited running around and just want to buy everything there. But I realized I still going to ride the attractions and of course not going convenience if I need to bring around my shopping bag. So I just keep my eye on some stuff I want to buy and will be buying that later after I'm done with the attraction.

Once again, because the hot weather I decided to pick some attractions with Air Conditioner facility and we went to the Fantasy Land and ride It's a Small World. It's A Small World is the attraction where is the world all smaller than the right size. We just need to sit in a boat and ride along with human-made river while enjoying the doll inside there singing and dancing. So relaxing, because so hot outside.

And then, I go to Tomorrow Land once again because I want to ride the Hyperspace Mountain once again (really my favorite) and I have been using my FastPass this time! Don't need to wait and just go inside and play! For more information about Fast Pass please click link here: https://www.hongkongdisneyland.com/guest-services/fastpass/


Still about to crazy because the heat, but I keep walking around to Adventureland and Toy Story Land Area, take some pictures and go into the store again to take some breath and make myself cold by the Air Conditioner. Then I meet Toy Soldier and take pictures with him, very cute!


Then I back to Fantasyland again to take a ride on The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh then while waiting for Night Parade and Fireworks Party I take around Hongkong Disneyland by the train at Fantasyland Station and get down at Mainstreet Station.

And after I am done with the attraction-related activities, and shopping-related activities seem my feet was failing me as well my stomach, starving! So I decided to back to Main Street USA to enjoy some snack or cakes there. I came to Market Home Bakery and order a Mickey Donut Ring. The appearance of this Donut was so cute, I felt guilty when I ate that. And the taste was equally incredible as the appearance, the sweetness of the icing sugar, plus the soft and tender of the bread was great and help my stomach happy dance again.
Price: 38KHD


While enjoying my donut, I sat in the pedestrian street area to waiting the Night Parade. The sunshine starts to set and people start to sit to wait the Night Parade as well. The night parade called "Disney Paint the Night" Nighttime Spectacular Parade and the parade will start at 19.45 Hongkong Time every night.


And finally, the parade start! The parade opened by Tinker Bell, the small fairy from Neverland then followed by Monster Inc's Character, Cars, Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, Toy Story, Goofy, Donald Duck, Minnie, then closed by the King of Disney World Mickey Mouse! The parade was so sparkling and shiny! They used a lot of light attraction and beautiful costumes everywhere! Really excited, I cannot stop my own hand to keep waving to them. Yes, I felt coming back to my childhood.




After the parade done, I moved closer to Sleeping Beauty Castle to watch the Fireworks Party, "Disney In The Stars" Fireworks. If you visit Disneyland, the fireworks are always being attractions we wait to see the most. The fireworks start at 20.45 Hongkong Time every night. Started with Disney Classic song, the Sleeping Beauty Castle start to shiny by Light, and then one by one the fireworks sparks into the sky created some beautiful view. It was always being one of my beautiful moments, it just calms my heart.

After fireworks done, to avoid the crowd, barely breathing I rush into the Disneyland Resort Station to ride my train back to Tsim Sha Tsui. And the next day I will travel to Macau!

And check my Hongkong Holiday Story: Disneyland Part 1 in here for information regarding how to get there. Or maybe if you want another story from My Hongkong Holiday at Victoria Peak please click here.


It was one of the best experience in my lifetime, to be at the happiest place on earth, to be reminded myself about my childhood, and to see the Disney Character whose always be there since when I just growing up child and being person like me now and then lead me to reach my dream, to do what I love, to change the impossible being possible, to never ever give up.
