Woncheon Lakeland

First we stopped in Suwon Station for fast food.

"The Say."

Tackiest looking Homever ever.

The area where the amusement park was supposed to be looked like this. I told everyone not to get their hopes up.

There's still a big gate leading in.

Signs of demolition were everywhere. I kept wondering which of these spots had been the amusement park.

Then up ahead, we saw something hopeful.

Champion Punch!

Paydirt. This hideous thing is for the Castle of Horror.

These oversized Pez dispenser things were hanging around.

This is the back side of a firetruck ride. We'll get to that in a few minutes. Right now I'm suffering from sensory overload.

Where to go first?

We went for the mini cars.

Aside from the thick layer of dust, this was in pristine condition.

This is Sarah's friend Moira, who is apparently the arachnid ambassador of Found Magazine.

That's not a language I was expecting to see.

I wonder if the estate of Charles Schultz is feeling litigious.

Probably not so much as the creator of these characters.

Next we went to the viking ship.

This one was identical in every detail to the one in Okpo Land. All these upside-down boat rides in Korea are always supposed to be viking-themed, and they are actually named "Viking." I had to explain to my wife later that in other countries they can have different themes, such as pirates as in my hometown.

You should've heard the girlish scream I made when my hair touched this guy's web.

That says "flying carpet." Not time to go up yet.

Now I'm upstairs, in the kids' playroom.

That's part of the flying carpet ride.

These mats were filthier than most other surfaces, and there was cat crap.

She really did not want to sit.

Some reflectoporn for you.

I never did get a picture of that squirrel thing. It's in a very inconvenient place. This whole time, there was loud adult contemporary music coming from somewhere to the left of this picture.

Okay, I'm finished up here.
