Lotte World Halloween
Junji Ito Collaboration
Invitation to a Bizarre World

My friends from New York came to visit,
so we dropped by Lotte World (롯데월드) to soak in the Halloween vibe!👻
This year, it wasn't a zombie theme,
but a Junji Ito (이토준지) collaboration
with a 'Bizarre World' theme.
So, if you were hoping for a zombie Lotte World and are planning to visit Lotte World,
make sure to keep this in mind before you go!

This autumn's Lotte World Halloween theme is
'Invitation to a Bizarre World'...
It's a collaboration with 'Junji Ito Collection' by horror manga artist Junji Ito,
famous for his works like *Tomie* and *Uzumaki*! Haha.
Lotte World and Junji Ito...
Isn't that combination just so fresh and unexpected?! 🤣
The concept is that a gate to a bizarre world opens at Lotte World,
mixing reality and fantasy!

Regular Prices & Discount Hacks 💸
Head over to the official Lotte World website

which cards offer discounts and the discounted prices.

Most discounts can't be combined, so
just pick the one that gives you the biggest saving!

💡 What if you don't have an affiliated credit card or discount eligibility?
Trip.com might be cheaper!
Since I had friends visiting from abroad,
and they didn't have Korean cards,
I looked around and discovered this:
In those cases,
it was actually cheaper to buy tickets
at a discounted price from Trip.com.
You can even apply an 8% discount coupon,
making it significantly cheaper!

📊 Price Comparison (Adults)
Category | Regular Price | Affiliated Card + 1 Companion Discount | Trip.com Discount Price | Trip.com + 8% Coupon |
1-Day Pass | ₩67,000 (~$49) | ₩46,900 (~$35) | ₩45,500 (~$33) (32%↓) | ₩41,860 (~$31) |
After 4 | ₩55,000 (~$40) | ₩38,500 (~$28) | ₩38,500 (~$28) (30%↓) | ₩35,420 (~$26) |
💰 How Much You Can Save Compared to Affiliated Card Discounts?

After 4 | ₩38,500 (~$28) | ₩35,420 (~$26) | -₩3,080 (~$-2) |
👀 Key Points

✅For After 4, the price is the same without a coupon,
but if you use the 8% coupon, you save an additional ₩3,080 (~$2).
✅This is especially great for friends living abroad who don't have Korean cards,
or those who aren't eligible for other discounts! 🌏

4. Magic Pass Prices & Available Attractions 🎢
Should I buy a Magic Pass or not?
Let me break it down for you.
If you're over 30, have some cash, and your stamina isn't what it used to be,
Go ahead and buy one! ^^
Think you can tough it out and wait in line for an hour?
Then you probably don't need to buy one.
Well, I'm in my thirties,
and seeing people with Magic Passes,
I was super jealous!
It's Halloween season, and right now,
high school and middle school students just finished their exams, so it's really crowded.
✅ Price Changes
Category | New Prices (Effective 4/3) |
5-Ride Pass | Light ₩54,000 (~$40) |
Standard A ₩65,000 (~$48) | |
Standard B ₩65,000 (~$48) | |
Premium ₩80,000 (~$59) | |
7-Ride Pass | Discontinued ❌ |
🎯 'Specialized Attractions' Available per Pass Type
The popular rides you can enjoy
differ depending on the pass type!
(O = Available)
Attraction | Light | Standard A | Standard B | Premium |
Stone Express (스톤익스프레스) | O | O | ||
Eos Tower (에오스타워) | O | O | ||
Arcana Ride (아르카나라이드) | O | O | ||
Atlantis (아트란티스) | O | O | ||
Flume Ride (후룸라이드) | O | O | ||
Gyro Swing (자이로스윙) | O | O | ||
Adventures of Sinbad (신밧드의 모험) | O | O | O | |
Gyro Spin (자이로스핀) | O | O | O | |
Gyro Drop (자이로드롭) | O | O | O | |
Comet Express (혜성특급) | O | O | ||
French Revolution (후렌치레볼루션) | O | O | ||
Spanish Pirate Ship (스페인해적선) | O | O | ||
Pharaoh's Fury (파라오의 분노) | O |
⚠️ Pharaoh's Fury is only available with Premium!
If you want to ride Pharaoh's, Premium is a must!
💡 So, which one should I buy?
🎢 Mostly thrill rides → Standard A
🚀 Aiming for Comet Express and Spanish Pirate Ship → Standard B
🐍 Want to ride everything, even Pharaoh's Fury → Premium
💸 Light and affordable → Light
They've cleverly split up the fun rides,
so choosing between A and B feels like a tough decision...
Should I add another ₩15,000 (~$11) for Premium?
But then with the admission fee, it'll probably go over ₩100,000 (~$74)...
If you're mainly there for the Ito Junji photo zones and performances,
you might not need to buy one after all ㅎㅎㅎ

8. Life Four Cuts (인생네컷) & Photo Street

The Life Four Cuts that was originally on the second floor is gone.
Instead,
towards the Flume Ride from the entrance,
a 'Photo Street' has been created.


There are school concepts,
subway concepts, retro concepts,
and a wide variety of photo booth concepts.

Exclusive to Lotte World (롯데월드),
Lotty & Lorry (로티&로리) character frames are also available.
We really wanted to take photos with the Lotty & Lorry frames,
but since it closed at 9 PM,
we missed out.
Make sure to visit with plenty of time before closing!


So far, I've summarized the Lotte World Junji Ito (이토준지) collaboration
'Invitation to a Macabre World (기묘한 세계의 초대)' for you 👻
Honestly, Lotte World and Junji Ito?
At first, the combination seemed so bizarre,
but after looking into it, they've thoroughly prepared photo zones, performances,
and even food items!
This collaboration runs until November 15th,
so there's less than a month left! ⏰
If you're looking forward to Lotte World's Halloween this autumn?
You should definitely check it out! 🎃✨
💡 Parking Payment Kiosk Tip
The kiosks right in front when you're leaving
have long lines.
If you go down one more floor, there are more, you know?
There are no lines there! 👍🏻
