Water and snow park set to open in Ilsan next month

Massive shopping complex One Mount’s Water Park and Snow Park, where people can enjoy indoor bobsleighing for the first time, will open near Hallyuwood in Ilsan, Gyeonggi. The amusement facility is scheduled to open in April, One Mount said yesterday at a press briefing at the Lotte Hotel in central Seoul.

The 533,747-square-foot complex, two and a half times larger than the IFC Mall in Yeouido, western Seoul is expected to attract customers not only from Ilsan but also northwestern Seoul. It will be the world’s first cultural complex combining a theme park and shopping mall.

Five investing companies include Shinhan Bank, Korea Exchange Bank and investors in Hong Kong participate as a consortium. Cheongwon Construction CEO Bae Byung-bok is the representative for One Mount Corporation.
