Then this thing starts flying around, and I can't find the wires! Eventually, I realize it's not a person in a costume on a wire but just some kind of drone. Lol

Here's some video of the show:

Then the last attraction of note I had not yet done, Kartrider! A *very* slow electric go kart that was not at all intended to have grown adults fit in it. The steering was *incredibly* snappy. It just had zero giddy-up to actually *go*. So I ended up swerving like a NASCAR driver under caution.

Came out and the show was done, but I *did* see the Indy/Dino-type ride testing. So I'm guessing it'll run tomorrow. :/

I also had to dodge all the people doing photo shoots in front of the carousel. It was *very* popular.

One thing I definitely don't understand is the idea of renting school uniforms to wear when visiting a theme park. Makes no sense to me. But I guess this is just a thing here?

I was, however, very relieved to not find any creepy anthropomorphized trees haunting me at this park. The trippy candy dark ride faked me out this morning, but I'm pretty sure those were some kind of candy dripping chocolate, not trees.

Overall, I did have a pretty good day at Lotte World Adventure. Despite the worrying lines at Atlantis, the guy at the ticket booth was right, and I didn't need to fork over a bunch of cash for their line skip passes. Very thankful for those single-rider lines. Most other waits were < 10 mins.

Now, is this a park you should rush out & visit? Ehh... Atlantis is super unique as the only Aquatrax, but it's nothing earth-shattering. The spinning coaster is fun but not a destination ride. Most everything else I rode was kinda just filler. REALLY wish the 'Indy' ride was running. And Sindbad.

Eventually found that Outback that I'd been teased by. Got there at 8:45 and they told me they were already closed, despite their posted hours. But that's fine because somehow their menu is different & they don't have Bloomin' Onions or normal veggie sides? Probably didn't need all that anyways.

So then it was time to actually finally head back to my hotel. And you know what? I did it again! I put in the wrong (but nearly identical) hotel! Except with navigating via the Metro this time instead of an Uber. Fortunately, I caught it before I went too far the wrong way, but still...
