An incredible roller coaster will be created at Gyeongju World, Korea! This is a ‘single rail coaster’, a roller coaster that runs along a strange-looking rail. It is the first single rail coaster in Asia. It's not just roller coasters that are being brought in. Gyeongju World added interesting ideas and stories to the roller coaster. This is ‘Skoll and Hati’. This is a new roller coaster introduced by Gyeongju World to celebrate its 40th anniversary. A detailed story about Gyeongju World's new roller coaster, 'Skoll & Hati', which was previously unknown! I personally visited the construction site and even interviewed the person in charge. I also prepared an invitation event, so watch this video until the end! Then let's begin! Last March, a mysterious roller coaster track was spotted on the grounds of Gyeongju World. Meanwhile, speculation began to emerge that a new roller coaster would be built at Gyeongju World.

I uploaded this video 4 months ago. It was a video predicting where a new roller coaster would be built and what type it would be. Someone left a comment like this, and it became a reality. Gyeongju World saw my video four months ago and invited me to promote their new roller coaster, ‘Skoll & Hati.’ That's why you're watching this video right now. Thank you to the person who left this comment! Anyway, after that, Gyeongju World officially announced that the new roller coaster they were preparing would be a 'single rail coaster' and would even be named 'Skoll & Hati'. A 'single rail coaster' is a roller coaster that runs on a track that looks like this. Usually, when you think of a roller coaster, you ride on a track that looks like this, but a 'single rail coaster' looks like a monorail track. It is characterized by a consistently fast speed and a smooth yet rough thrill.

The riding method is also unique, with each person riding in a row. There are several attraction companies that make 'single rail coasters', the most representative one being RMC in the United States. It stands for ‘Rocky Mountain Construction’ and many of the recently popular roller coasters are built at RMC. There are five RMC 'single rail coasters' in the United States alone. When 'Skoll & Hati' opens at Gyeongju World, it will be RMC's 6th 'single rail coaster', and as you can see, it will be the first RMC 'single rail coaster' to open outside the United States. In other words, it will be ‘Asia’s first single rail coaster.’ Gyeongju World's 'Skoll & Hati' begins with going up on a lift at a 45-degree angle and falling at a 78-degree angle. It changes direction frequently and flips over, and there are a total of three inversion sections.

The track length is 595 meters, the maximum height is 32 meters, and the maximum speed is 84 kilometers per hour. If you just look at the numbers, you might think, 'What's so special about it?' However, when you actually ride it, you can feel a thrill that you cannot feel on other roller coasters. This is because the ‘single rail coaster’ itself has a unique configuration and unique riding method. I recently rode RMC's 'Single Rail Coaster' in the United States. Although it was a version with slightly different specifications, the riding method itself was unique and the speed was consistently fast, so I remember riding it quite dizzyingly. So, I’m also looking forward to Gyeongju World’s ‘Skoll & Hati’. Gyeongju World’s ‘Skoll & Hati’ is made right here. It is right next to ‘Draken’, which is currently the representative roller coaster of Gyeongju World.

It is located right within the ‘Draken Valley’ themed area. From Gyeongju World's perspective, they could have brought in this roller coaster in its raw form, but since it is in the 'Draken Valley' themed area, they added a story from Norse mythology. Now, let's talk about the theme and story of why Gyeongju World's new roller coaster is named 'Skoll & Hati'. To feel that Gyeongju World put a lot of effort into it, you need to understand Norse mythology and the 'Draken Valley' themed area. From now on, let’s talk about Norse mythology for a moment. According to Norse mythology, there was a huge tree called Yggdrasil at the center of the world. This huge tree is divided into three horizontal planes, and it is said that there were nine worlds here. Among these, Gyeongju World sets these three places - 'Asgard', the world of gods,

'Midgard', the world of humans in the middle, 'Niflheim', the world of darkness at the bottom - as the worlds that make up 'Draken Valley'. This is a map of Gyeongju World’s ‘Draken Valley’ themed area. Here is the entrance to the themed area, and here is Gyeongju World’s representative roller coaster ‘Draken’. I will display other attractions all at once. The new roller coaster 'Skoll & Hati' will be located here. As mentioned earlier, Gyeongju World divides the 'Draken Valley' themed area into three areas. This is the world of the gods, ‘Asgard.’ This is the world of humans, ‘Midgard.’ This is the world of darkness, ‘Niflheim.’ So, if you look up the name of each attraction on site, it will be clearly stated which world it belongs to. You are starting to feel the details of Gyeongju World little by little, right?

Ah! I almost left out an important part in this video. The sun and moon we know revolve around this world, but there are two wolves trying to devour the sun and the moon. The important keyword in this video is ‘Skoll & Hati’. Skoll chases the sun, and Hati chases the moon. The sun and moon continue to revolve around the world, being chased by Skoll and Hati. Did you know that at the top of the Yggdrasil tree is Asgard, the world of gods? The highest god of 'Asgard' is Odin. Odin, the god of wisdom, knew that the end of the world would come one day, and in preparation for this, Odin gathered warriors to fight for him. The role of gathering these warriors is Valkyrie, who looks like a female warrior. Valkyries are like the Grim Reaper, who select warriors who will die during battle and take them to Odin's palace when they die to become Odin's army.

‘Valkyrie’ at Gyeongju World is a roller coaster themed around the Valkyrie who works for Odin. There is also Loki, a tremendous character that can be left out of Norse mythology. It is no exaggeration to say that Loki is responsible for all events and accidents in mythology, and he is also related to the end of the world, which Odin knew about in advance. Loki had three children: Wolf Fenrir, Serpent Jormungand, and Hell. Odin, the highest god of Asgard, knew in advance that Loki's three children would bring about the end of the world. So, he took action in advance. Among them, Fenrir was a wolf who was larger than a god and extremely strong. They tied him up so that he could not move for fear that it might bring about the end of the world. What's interesting is that Fenrir also had a child, 'Skoll and Hati'. In some ways, Loki's grandsons can be seen as Skoll and Hati.

But despite Odin's actions, the end of the world comes. The end of the world is called ‘Ragnarok’. The world becomes dark as Skoll and Hati, who were chasing the sun and moon, eventually swallow them, respectively. And then ‘Ragnarok’ begins. Through various events, evil gods (monsters), including Loki, who has grown to hate God, and Loki's three children, who have dreamed of revenge ever since they were exiled, come forward, and a battle occurs with gods including Odin fighting against each other, and that is 'Ragnarok'. In the end, everyone dies, and the world comes to an end. The end of the world, as Odin already knew, has actually come. Norse mythology is much more extensive than this, but I have summarized it briefly enough to understand Gyeongju World's 'Draken Valley' worldview. Did I do well? Gyeongju World's 'Draken Valley' is a themed area based on Norse mythology.

The setting is that we have entered a world after the apocalypse caused by Ragnarok. The giant wolf Fenrir also died during ‘Ragnarok’. So, in Gyeongju World's 'Draken Valley', it is recreated as a roaring stone. ‘Ragnarok’ brings the end of the world, but a new world opens afterward. But evil beings also appear there. As a result, Odin, the supreme god who was defeated in battle, reappears like a ghost and speaks to a boy named Peter. “Peter, find the five treasures and save the world!” The story is that Peter can now save the world after Ragnarok. The Draken Valley themed area is designed so that we can follow Peter on his adventure to find the five treasures. The reason why Peter is standing like this at the entrance to Gyeongju World's 'Draken Valley' is because this boy is the main character of this themed area. There are five treasures that Peter must find.

Water treasures can be found while enjoying the cold snow park, and wind treasures can be obtained by enduring the whirlwind caused by the flapping wings of baby dragons. The fire treasure is guarded by a giant firebird, and you must endure this incredible mid-air rotation to obtain it. If you follow Valkyrie's journey to gather warriors for Odin, you can obtain earth treasures, and at the end, if you overcome 'Draken', who rides a huge dragon, you can obtain the One Ring containing the treasure of love. The entrance to Gyeongju World's 'Draken Valley' is decorated like an 'Asgardian' temple. The walls of the temple are engraved with stories about the Norse mythology explained above, and now that you've watched this video, you'll have fun looking around these parts. In front of the temple, there is also a dashing Peter ready to begin his adventure. And when you enter the temple, the first thing you see is the roller coaster 'Valkyrie'. In mythology, Valkyrie is related to the supreme god Odin, right?

So, from the entrance to ‘Draken Valley’ to ‘Valkyrie’ is the ‘Asgard’ area. Meeting a baby dragon, encountering a huge firebird, and a place covered in cold snow are all tied to ‘Midgarder’ as a setting for hardships experienced in the human world. The place where the evil dragon is located is the darkest place, so it is classified as the world 'Niflheim', at the bottom of the Yggdrasil tree. There were detailed regional divisions within the Draken Valley! The more you learn about Gyeongju World’s planning ability, the more surprising it becomes. As I often say in my videos, guests do not necessarily need to know the theme and story. They can't force guests to enjoy the ride while fully understanding it. However, if they create a theme and story in detail like this and construct a space based on it, people who enter the space become immersed in something. From the perspective of someone decorating a space, the more detailed the theme and story are, the more helpful it is to decorate the space.

In that respect, Gyeongju World's 'Draken Valley' themed area can be said to be a very well-organized world view. Anyway, if you enjoy all 5 of these, you will find all 5 treasures. Then this is the place! What kind of story will the new roller coaster 'Skoll and Hati', which will be built here, lead to? The story is that Peter, who found five treasures, meets Skoll and Hati while trying to return to Odin. In mythology, ‘Skoll and Hati’ were wolves that chased the sun and moon, right? In 'Draken Valley', the era after 'Ragnarok', they will be chasing Peter to prevent the five treasures from falling into Odin's hands. Here's a closer look at the area where 'Skoll & Hati' will be located. This is where the ‘Dragon Race’ is currently located, and the entrance to ‘Skoll & Hati’ will be built in front of it.

A rock is also depicted as being placed near this entrance. It is said that the entrance and the rock are planned to be made like this. It is said that this rock is made to arouse some curiosity, and its true identity can be seen when you enter the entrance. When you enter the entrance, you will see a wolf statue depicting ‘Skoll & Hati’. Because they are wolves that chase the sun and the moon, their mouths look like they are biting the sun and the moon. It is said to be quite large at 4m high, so I think you will be excited by the sense of scale as soon as you enter. Next to the wolf statue, you can see a rock with a huge giant's sword stuck in it. It is said that it will be expressed as if traces of the final battle, 'Ragnarok', remain. That's how you enter the waiting line, which is located under the roller coaster track. With the roller coaster passing over your head, it will feel quite thrilling.

And this is the station. If you walk along the waiting line, you will end up at the back of the building. If you zoom in on the station area, it looks like this. If you look from the direction of ‘Draken,’ you can see the exit. In fact, boarding is structured so that you go to the back of the building. An image of the covered station looks like this from above. But this part doesn’t seem unusual, right? Some people may have noticed it right away. It's even more interesting when you look at the front image. It is said that some of the tracks will be presented as if they are passing through a building. To be precise, rather than passing through, it will be decorated as if you are riding over a building that collapsed due to ‘Ragnarok.’ It feels like Skoll & Hati are chasing Peter that much, right? Overall, the station looks like it will be built like a medieval building left in ruins after a long war.

The vehicle is planned to be designed like this. They say they will distinguish between ‘Skoll’ vehicles and ‘Hati’ vehicles by color. It is said that 'Skoll' will be expressed in yellow because it is the being that chased the sun, and 'Hati' will be expressed in blue because it is the being that chased the moon. Based on this information, I was able to tour the construction site in person. It seemed like construction was progressing much faster than expected. If you look now, you can see 'Draken' over there and now there is 'Dragon Race' on this side, so I think there will be an entrance around this area. Is this the entrance, right? The entrance will be around here. (proudly mistaken) The entrance will be around this area. So, that building must be the station? Yes, that's right. It goes up like this and falls like this (construction is progressing at a very fast pace). It's really fast, the speed...

I think it really doesn't take that long to make this. When was ‘Skoll & Hati’ planned? There was a plan to introduce a ride since the creation of 'Draken Valley', but the designation as a 'single rail coaster' was made while preparing for the 40th anniversary project in early 2022. Is there a reason why the track color was chosen this way? First of all, since it is located behind the 'Drakken Valley', I wanted a color with impact, and I specified the color by considering the 'Draken' color next to it and the 'Valkyrie' color that can be seen from the front. You must have contacted RMC first, right? I'm very curious about RMC's response. As you know, RMC is one of the hottest production companies in North America. Nevertheless, because there were few cases of expansion into other continents, they responded very actively when Gyeongju World contacted them, and

After seeing the composition of the rollercoaster and other rides in Gyeongju World, I think RMC liked it. So everything went smoothly. This is where the entrance will be, and the 'Skoll & Hati' statue will be in the middle of here, right? The queue line goes all the way this way, right? Is there a reason why you decided on ‘Skoll & Hati’ as the theme? After the coaster was selected, the process of deciding on the story 'Skoll & Hati' seemed to have gone very smoothly. Among the characters and mythical animals in Norse mythology that form the basis of 'Draken Valley', 'Skoll & Hati' was chosen. I decided that it matched best with this 'Single Rail Coaster' and that it also went well with 'Draken' and 'Klake' in front, so I decided on 'Skoll & Hati'. Actually, this wasn't the story planned from the beginning when we created the Draken Valley themed area.

Nevertheless, how can guests best understand this story? Can they see it in harmony? I came up with a plan after thinking about it. It was an amazing plan. You found 'Skoll & Hati' from the vast Norse mythology... (I am impressed because I know from experience that story planning is difficult.) The 'Single Rail Coaster' itself is so special. It's very attractive in itself, but what's the appeal of it that makes it different from a regular roller coaster? Due to the nature of a 'single rail coaster', you cannot see the track well, so you feel as if you are floating in the air. You must ride alone, so you will feel like you are alone. Also, due to the nature of a 'single rail coaster', the track is very varied and well-organized. I think you will be able to experience a lot of fun from the moment you first step up the lift hill to the moment you return to the station. Some of my subscribers have asked this question.

It is usually said that the back seat of a roller coaster is more fun, but 'Skoll & Hati' is also. Is it the same? Many people say that the front or back seats are usually more fun, and I agree with the technical aspects. However, because the intensity of the thrill each person enjoys is different, the middle seats may be the preferred seat. So, I cannot say that the front or back seats are the most fun. A very exemplary answer. I think the track is somewhat complete now. When will the vehicle be? The vehicle will likely arrive around September. I heard that it is scheduled to open in November, but I am very curious when exactly it will open. Because there are many variables such as weather conditions and site conditions, it is difficult to tell guests (right now) when it will open in November. From the park's perspective, it is very important to meet guests quickly, but I think completeness is more important, so I hope you understand this part.

I understand. I will wait. A fun fact! It is said that there were several reasons when Gyeongju World decided to introduce a ‘single rail coaster’. They also took into consideration realistic aspects such as site area and budget range, but above all, they wanted to introduce a variety of proven rides from internationally renowned and recognized production companies. Let's list the representative attractions of Gyeongju World. First of all, there is the inverted coaster ‘Phaethon’, which opened in 2007. It is made by B&M. The dive coaster ‘Draken’, which opened in 2018, was also made by B&M. For reference, B&M is a Swiss roller coaster manufacturer that produces some of the most iconic roller coasters in the world. The shuttle family coaster ‘Valkyrie’, which opened in 2021, was created by German attraction company Gerstrlauer. 'Time Rider', which is scheduled to open in May next year, introduced in the last video was a 'coaster wheel' from Intamin, another famous attraction production company, and

'Skoll & Hati' is a 'single rail coaster' from RMC, the hottest roller coaster production company in the United States. In this way, Gyeongju World considered prioritizing rides from various famous production companies around the world, and in the process, they chose RMC for the first time. It is said that another reason for choosing RMC's 'Single Rail Coaster' was the number of seats. If you list only the roller coasters at Gyeongju World, 'Draken' seats 8 people per row, 'Phaethon' seats 4 people, and 'Valkyrie' seats 2 people, but the 'Single Rail Coaster' only seats 1 person per row, so they said they thought it would be fun in terms of the number of seats. Of course, the 'single rail coaster' could not have been brought in for that reason alone, but it is said that the decision was made because various reasons fit together perfectly.

Seeing the traces of Gyeongju World's many concerns makes me look forward to the future even more. The three attractions mentioned in my prediction video posted four months ago all ended up becoming reality within four months. So I’m a bit surprised too. Powered coaster ‘Wizard Race’ in October 2024, single rail coaster ‘Skoll & Hati’ in November 2024, and coaster wheel ‘Time Rider’ in May 2025! Gyeongju World seems to have been thoroughly preparing for the 40th anniversary of its opening. Now all that remains is to enjoy these new attractions. In this video, I also prepared an invitation event to Gyeongju World. This is an event prepared by Gyeongju World for my subscribers, so check the pinned comments right away. That's all for today!
