Where are the other 3?

there's another at Lotte World in
Seoul, Korea,

I could have went here!!  I was in South Korea for a year, and visited the
Seoul a couple of times!  It makes me somewhat sad that I never went to
Lotte World...though I did get to ride the mass transit there... I think
the green line or orange line (my memory is a bit faltering).

Lotte World is incredible.  They have a *fantastic* lineup of very, very
unique rides there.  They had the first Gyro Drop (there are only 2 in the
world - the other is at Kings Island in Ohio, a massive ring of seats is
hoisted up a tower, while rotating, then the whole ring is released to
freefall), Intamin's Gyro Swing (very similar to Psyclone at Canada's
Wonderland, basically a disc of outward-facing passengers rotating at the
end of a large pendulum), the only remaining Intamin Tripple Wheel in the
entire world (the most massive Ferris wheel construction ever fabricated,
three massive wheels on a gigantic Y tilted at an angle which also rotates
to facilitate loading)... as well as the Super Flip.

But Korakuen is geting LaQua:

It will travel through a hubless Ferris wheel, and dive off the side of the
building.

(...) Whoa... that is cool. A hubless Ferris wheel! With a roller coaster going through it. Well, I guess my new RCT II is already obsolete, it doesn't have hubless Ferris wheel as a gentle ride choice. Sigh. :-) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
  Snap Toys Re: Lego Shopping Down Under
 
(...) Damnit. I used to (15-20 years ago) buy these little toys which were Korean or Japanese that had sticks of gum in them. I think they were Lotte gum. Anyways, the toys were these little cars and trucks which were multicoloured and snapped (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
