Tongdo Fantasia

Tongdo Fantasia had been visited by a couple of members in the lead up to the main trip starting and they'd recommended the park hence it being squeezed in. It was only ever going to be a quick stop as we still had a ferry to catch.

Inspired by Disney methinks...

Not a bad job on the theming. This was a walkthrough attraction. Again the park was dead due to the Government banning schools groups from leaving the schools. The park staff clearly not stretched today were keen to invite us onto their attractions and were a very friendly bunch.

First coaster was a rollerskater type ride with a weird first drop that is taken with a slight lean to the right.

A rather peculiar looking wheel but which offered some decent photo-opportunities.

This was the main reason for hitting this park. The corkscrew is one of a small number of triple-corkscrewing rides. How small exactly? Well its the only one.

The ride was built in 93 and being 15 years old expected it to be quite rough, but surprisingly it was pretty decent. Hard to believe in a corkscrew ride that sends you upside down 5 times (the 3 corkscrews and 2 loops after it)

Some of the group enjoy the first drop.

Behind the corkscrew is a dry ski slope, alas not open today.

Old woman doing an amazing job sweeping the leaves, completely oblivious to the dumb tourists around her.

Another strange sculpture passed on the way out.

Tongdo was brief but quite a good park. The corkscrew is a surprise especially given the reputation these rides have around the world.
