Caribbean Bay & Yongin Traditional Korean Folk Village (Haunted Village)

Caribbean Bay - Cabi Cabi

A late posting this week *^^*

I visited Caribbean Bay last week in the heat of the summer. As with Everland Caribbean Bay is spread out over a wide area with a dozen or so rides.

As most Koreans I have spoken to have either gone to Caribbean Bay or Ocean World I am able to give you a unique perspective or comparison as I have been to both

See my post about Ocean World Here: http://rawrkorea.blogspot.kr/2011/09/ocean-world.html both

Caribbean bay is fantastically big and has many places to rest and eat and many rides... well quite a few more than Ocean World. However many of the rides and attractions are similar for example the wave pool, tube ride and water slides as well as the giant bucket dump. Personally I enjoy Ocean World for the same reason I enjoy Lotte World.... I am lazy.... Ocean World is much more compact and the rides are closer together making the transition a more comfortable experience. I like the fact that ocean world provides big rubber tubes to ride in on the tube ride where it appears that you have to have your own tube for Caribbean Bay. Another good point about Ocean World is that it is not so close to Seoul so it is possible to enjoy your time there without the massive crowds that you will experience at Caribbean Bay. However saying that Caribbean Bay is an amazing water park and definitely worth the visit. Perhaps my view has been skewed by the advertising for Ocean World ^^.

Anyway here are some walk through video's and a few pictures before my little handheld camera killed itself :( R.I.P. small camera... you will be missed... but perhaps when I have time I may perform some major surgery on it to see if I can get it working again.

On a more scary note there is a frightening attraction at night at the Yongin Traditional Korean Folk Village:

Starting around 8:30 at night the village turns into a ghost town which is kind of similar to a New Zealand attraction called Spookers: http://www.spookers.co.nz/

Anyway you are guided through the village by a ghostly figure and you are surprised by ghosts and falling skeletons  hands and crazy ghouls. Near the end is an actual ghost ride which is really fun. The experience lasts around 40 minutes or so and upon completion you are given a gift and a refreshment.

This is the only information I have on it unfortunately :( I will post more if some more information come to hand.

Oh and how could we forget about the Cabi song:



Well that's all for this week. I am sure to see you again next week for something else unusual and fun. until then have a great week!  ^^
