Vivaldi Park Ocean World

 

Vivaldi Park Hongcheon, Gangwon-do is most widely known for its ski resort. However, the park also boasts a state-of-art water park facility, Ocean World. With Egypt-style facilities featuring decorative deserts and oases, and staff dressed in Egyptian attire, Ocean World makes visitors feel as though they just entered in to "Little Egypt".If you plan on spending a fun-filled summer vacation this year, be sure to follow Russian model, Baskina Daria, to Ocean World in this exclusive online feature!

A Tour of Ocean World’s Aqua Zone (indoor)
* Water Flex
Aqua Zone is open all year round at Ocean World. The first water park facility you’ll see once you enter Aqua Zone is “Water Flex”. Here, an enormous basket in the shape of Ramses’ head is gradually filled up with water and then emptied below, creating a heavy waterfall in the process. It remains a popular venue among children. There is even a waterslide and other amusement facilities on hand as well.
 
* Slide
Guests on the slide fly down a slippery valley, making their way down on narrow water currents. There are two free slides to choose from: one is a tube slide and the other is the standard slide where visitors slide down in their swimsuit. Ocean World provides the tubes for the tube slide.
 
A Tour of Ocean World’s Extreme Zone (outdoor)
* Surfing Mount
Meet Korea’s tallest waves reaching 2.4m at “Surfing Mount”. You can really feel the exciting thrill every time the waves make a thunderous sound as they crash down. All guests must wear life vests in this area. As this point of interest boasts floodgates in the shape of Egyptian gods, it is somewhat challenging as larger and smaller waves are released in rapid succession with very little rest in between.



☆ Tip! Surfing Mount

Time: A series of higher waves run for forty minutes on the hour, followed by a ten-minute interval of smaller waves and a subsequent ten-minute break.
Life Vest Rentals: Life vests available at the outdoor rental shop next to Extreme River
Fees: 6,000 won (Life Vest Rental 4,000 won + Security Deposit 2,000 won, refunded when the life vest is returned)
How to Rent: Purchased through Ocean World’s electronic bracelet, Ocean Coin, available at the entrance.

* Water Sleigh Park
The Water Sleigh Park, used as a snow sleigh field during the winter, is spread across water on green grass, providing sleigh riding at high speeds. The Water Sleigh Park can be used free of charge for Ocean World guests, and is open from 9AM to 5PM on Mondays to Fridays and Sundays, and from 9AM to 6PM on Saturdays.  
   

* Family Raft Slide
Escape the lonely slides you ride alone. Try Korea’s first-ever 4-person Family Raft Slide with your friends or family! The slide provides the unique thrill of falling and spiraling at the same time.
   
* Extreme River
Extreme River offers extreme thrills felt on a ride through the river rapids. High surfs are created simultaneously with the Youth Pool for an added thrill. All guests must wear life vests for this ride, and use the provided tubes.

Q: What was your favorite experience today at Ocean World?
Daria : It had to be the Indoor Slide. Actually, I was really scared to go down the slide at first, but as I went down on the tube I felt excited and it was thrilling.
Q : What would you recommend to future guests of Ocean World?
Daria : Everything including the convenience facilities are very nicely built, but you will definitely need a map. I also heard that there are guides available in English, Japanese, and Chinese at the Information Desk, so it would be a good idea to visit there first. There’s hardly enough time to play, and it would be a shame to waste it by simply walking around.
