"Don't underestimate the giant Ferris wheel and get 'surprised'…" Gyeongju World reveals new attraction 'Time Rider' for its 40th anniversary.
Gyeongju World, famous for its large roller coaster 'Draken', is about to launch its hidden secret weapon, 'Time Rider'.
Scheduled to operate from June, 'Time Rider' is the newly unveiled Ferris wheel presented by Gyeongju World in August last year to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
At first glance, it may seem like a leisurely ride, but underestimating it could lead to a big surprise.
This is a model called 'Coaster Wheel', produced by the famous attraction manufacturer Intamin.
It's also the same model as the 'Pixar Pal-A-Round Swinging Gondolas', known as the scariest ride in Disney California Adventure.

This ride does not rotate along a rail like a regular Ferris wheel.
Instead, it hangs the gondolas from a rail, moving them as if a small Viking ship is rocking back and forth, creating the sensation that it might tip over at any moment.
Gyeongju World aims to offer not only thrills with 'Time Rider' but also an interesting story.
The ride is said to be invented by a doctor who wishes to unlock the mysteries of time, and riders can join him in his experiments.
In March, when Gyeongju World shared the completed framework of 'Time Rider' on social media, it generated excitement among netizens with comments like "As expected of Gyeongju World," "I won't need to go to Disneyland," and "Honestly, it looks very scary."
