How does it compare to Canada's Wonderland? I've never been to Disney, but the wiki page says Everland is comparable.

Is there anything special that I should see when I'm there? is there anything that I should avoid? How are the prices?

Just like Jeju is comparable to Hawaii.

Go on a date, go with kids, or don't go at all.

It's great! Admittedly, i haven't frequented many other amusement parks, but i don't see how anyone couldn't enjoy it. The big problem is the crowds. The best time i had there was when i had a day off as students sat exams, so all students were busy. It can be very frustrating when it's so busy.

True dat. You'll be waiting in line for at least 30-45 minutes for most rides.

Is it possible to avoid the crowds on the weekend? Perhaps if I go early in the morning and leave by mid afternnon?

Even though it's not comparable to Disney, it's still a classy joint, isn't it? Safe? Clean? Modern?

ON THE WEEKENDS? That's the worst time to go. Better off going during the week.

during the week isn't possible for me. I guess I'll have to just deal with the hundreds and hundreds of screaming Korean kids.

The best time to go is when u somehow have a day off that Koreans, especially children, dont. I can only imagine weekends would be insane. Oh, if you're on a tight schedule i'd recommend avoiding the safari.

they have a LIGER!

I went with friends on a day that was overcast....not busy at all, but I imagine that was a one in a million chance. I had a great time. It's not nearly as big Canada's Wonderland, but the T money coaster or whatever it's called is pretty awesome.

Ummm..Everland is pretty tame and lame compared to most NA or European theme parks, but considering the alternatives here, it's ok I guess.

that's because you are from DC, James. It's better than Six Flags Darien Lake, but not as good as some other better thing I've never been to.

You wouldn't have heard of it down there in DC.
