Dec. 3rd E World in Daegu.
Yes. New Park. New creds.
I wasn't expected too much in this park, because all the coaster looked old. 2 Japanese made coaster, and a Vekoma boomerang, all of which made in the 1980s.
Took a tour bus at 8:30 in Busan, and spent 2hr to go. KTX is much better, but it's a school trip...
Saw the ride operation panel on the website, and disappointed at first.
Mega swing 360 - Closed. Camelback - Closed. Yanolja Skydrop - 11:30 open (actually opened in 12)
Staffing issue. Yes. That made fewer rides to open. 1 cred, Camelback, a Meisho jet coaster with tons of airtimes, was spited.
Entered the park, waited for Gondola lift.
Why do we need to wait for such 30 min for gondola? Can we walk? and teacher said NO.
30 min WASTED.
Arrived at Daegu 83 tower, and found Observatory closed, Skydrop closed, and ice rink closed. What? Nothing opened. Haaaa.......
So led my way to the main park.
The first ride was Music Express, a Matterhorn fairground ride.
Just fun, but I didn't know that my friend was that heavy. LOLOL
and found boomerang opens at 13:30, and one another coaster, Hurricane operates only 3 hours a day. Yes. The very infamous roller coaster which had an accident of ride op got hurt...
Yep. Closed., …
So we went to 83 tower again, and finally got to ride Yanolja Skydrop, a Funtime drop tower. Its ride height is 80m, and due to terrain, its total height (terrain height+ride height) is
213m.
That looks reallly high.
So rode it, and it stopped midway to speed up. and it reached 80m. But, why is it not drop? Yep. They hold us in 80m to let us enjoy the view.
Looking at Daegu in 213m was awesome. It was surprising that the park was in middle of the busy city. and enjoying the view,the sound of hydraulics releasing, and it SUDDENLY DROPS. Due to Funtime restraint only holding my lap, it floated a lot. Just ejected out of the seat for rough 3 seconds. Maybe 2nd best ride of the day.
Next up was Ice Rink. The school provided us ice rink ticket, and 83 tower ticket. So, use it!
But... it was my 1st experience on ice skating. So I fell and fell..... I had 4 laps, and I fell fell and fell. So, I thought that riding roller coaster is much better, but my friends all wanted to skate more. So I decided to ride Skydrop one more while my friends skate.
Skydrop 2nd ride - with my another friends. Surprisingly, ONE SEAT was left and I skipped all the line. Good air!!
Now I went back to skate rink, and met friends, and go for a coaster whore.
"Hurricane Roller Coaster", made by unknown Japanese manufacturer.
While we wait, the ride op said this closes on 14, and it closes queue on 13:50.
So arrived there at 13:45, and we were safe. Got the last remaining far back seat.
Umm... good pull on the drop, and loop was pretty smooth. But corkscrew? the transition before the corkscrew was just a Head and NECK BANGER. I got dizzy after riding it. And, Why is there a trim brake between two corkscrews? That's why I don't like old loopers.
Meh. maybe 5 out of 10, but still fun enough.
Next up is Vekoma Boomerang.
The star attraction of this park is a standard Vekoma boomerang??? Weird.... waited about 50 min (what? 50min for boomerang? I'd rather ride Draken instead)
It had a bit slow ops and the line was slow. Fortunately, the line was cut in front of me, and got a chance to choose the seat. My friend wanted middle, but I wanted FRONT, so got separated. Yes. Front seat. Car 1 seat 1.
Vekoma boomerang's 5.2 G feels really intense. Front run was just fun. and the loop hangtime was great. I waved my hand to my friends who were at the line. They also waved their hands. And there comes backward run. Having experienced Valkyrie, family boomerang's backward run is pretty fun, I didn't know what to expect. and it dropped. I still shaked hands to my friend while on loop hangtime. And a cobra roll pull was pretty fun. Though it;s boomerang, it's pretty smooth and intense.
Day ended.
Sky ride X1
Yanolja Skydrop X2
Music Express X1
(Ice Rink X1)
Hurricane X1
Boomerang X1
=6 rides in 4.5 hrs. not as efficient as yesterday.
+2 NEW creds.
Overview: Though park was dead, it was fun, with my friends.
Many ride closed was a bit meh...
and I want to ice skate much well.
Though Gyeongju World yesterday was more thrilling experience, E world was still fun to spend a day!
If I have a chance to come back, I will come at night to see great views, and get night rides on each coaster.
Waited 45 min and got a row 3 edge seat ride.
