E-World puts the Color in Colorful Daegu
The area around the tower was remodeled as a European-style park and opened to the public in March 1995. It features a waterfall, fountains, lighting displays, flowers, exhibition and performance halls, and restaurants. E-World has several plazas characterized by different themes; major plazas include Entry Plaza (at the park entrance), Central Plaza, Children’s Plaza (playground), and Young Town Plaza (where all the cool rides are). It also has 31 rides in total including the skyway with a great view of the entire park.
The view of the Daegu Tower is not lost on the visitor… you can see it just about anywhere in the park and many places around the city. It’s one of Daegu’s more visible landmarks located atop Duryusan (Duryu Mountain) in Duryu-Dong, Dalseo-Gu. The tower is over 200 meters tall and dominates the view of the area an includes restaurants, a museum, and an indoor ice skating rink.
Made for Selfie Sticks
One of the first things you’ll notice is that many people carry camera stands and selfie sticks. The park is set up to facilitate a lot of little vignettes, and the kids love them. I watched them flit from one to the next in rank and file. It wouldn’t have mattered except that they kept photobombing my selfies.
Woobang Tower
The Ranger has two boats that swing back and forth and eventually go upside down. Without realizing it, I had walked up the hill to the Tower.
The only ride I was interested in was the Skyway, and I rode it back down the hill. It was the perfect way to end the night and get a fantastic photo of the park and the surrounding city.
You can get a great aerial view of the entire park, including the Americana, a roller coaster with a loop de loop that does a few 360s and jerks you through many fast corners.
