Lotte World

This guide to Lotte World traces the summer of 2014, when the lake beside the park began mysteriously losing depth and sinkholes opened in the streets nearby. It follows the engineers and city officials scrambling to figure out what was happening underground near the towering Lotte World Tower next door. Lotte World opened here in 1989 as South Korea's first indoor theme park. Look up at the glass dome overhead as you walk beside the lake.
