One of the most attractive tourist destination decisions made by families is to go to a theme park. There are a number of popular and fun theme parks around the world – Disneyland in the United States, Diggerland in England and Legoland in Denmark to name but a few, but what you are going to see in South Korea is the first of its kind. Ranking fifth in the line of the world’s robotics manufacturing nations, Korea will soon operate a robot-themed park, known as Robot Land, where you are sure to have the ultimate adventure, challenging yourself on incredible rides found nowhere else in the world. The new tourist attraction blends high technology with all the traditional fun of the fair. Be one of the first to experience this wonder.
Currently being built in a free-trade area in the northwest of South Korea, in the coastal city of Incheon, the Robot Land will feature all manner of robot entertainment, including amazing rides, exclusive attractions and impressive shows, as well as a water park, residential and commercial space, exhibition halls, and even professional areas for research. Some of the featured attractions include: a giant wheel with a clockwork gears motif similar to London Eye, a roller coaster that dives underwater similar to Vanish at Cosmoworld in Japan and a robot arena where boxer-bots fight à la ‘Real Steel.’ Robot Land will also feature robot performers and cashiers. Covering a total area of 767,287 square meters, this modern theme park is expected to get 2.8 million visitors annually.
To build this new theme park, about $600 million has been invested, with 13% of the investment coming from national and local governments, who are banking on the theme park as a way to stimulate the national economy. Construction on Robot Land began in 2010 and is expected to be completed by 2013. However, some parts of the park will be open to public some time in 2012.
The Robot Land will be divided into four theme lands or ‘worlds,’ much like Disneyland: Robot Kingdom, Kidbot Village, Robotopia and Fun City, each with its own attractions, with many said to have never been seen before. A 365-foot-tall Taekwon V Tower, designed on a dark ride theme, is going to be the park’s icon and the main representative. On top of the tower, there is going to be an observation deck.
Usually when robots arrive, human jobs lose their importance; but, in this case, Robot Land hopes to create some 18,000 new opportunities for human workers.
Get ready for the unrivaled experience! Enjoy the robotic arm ride! Watch and manipulate robotic fish in a special sort of aquarium! And this is just the beginning. I am sure; you’ll leave the park with the allure to return again and again!
