Lotte’s Magic Forest
The ‘Lotte’s Magic Forest’ is on track for a mid-2021 opening. The project is in collaboration with one Lotte’s longtime collaborator, Legacy | GGE, a California-based company. The design of the theme park will be completely different from Lotte’s flagship theme park, Lotte World in Seoul.
There are going to be six themed zones, each inspired by a different element of nature. The park’s design will be unique within the Asian theme park landscape, according to Marcus King, Legacy | GGE’s Senior Director of Project Management.

The new park is under construction in Busan’s Osiria district, next to the company’s East Busan Lotte Outlet Complex. ‘Lotte’s Magic Forest’ is going to be one of many attractions under construction in the area.
Legacy | GGE’s Managing Director of Korea, Yaeli Chung, commented, “Lotte is one of Asia’s most trusted names in family entertainment. It’s for this reason that we felt an immense sense of responsibility to help design a park worthy of the Lotte name. We believe that when ‘Lotte’s Magic Forest’ is completed, it will be regarded as not only a commercial success but a symbol of joy and happiness for generations to come.” This project will be the 10th project with Lotte.
