I do not know much of the story behind it. North Korean Economy Watch has a description: I had visited the fun fair the previous year, but to my surprise I discovered the park is much larger than I thought and it has two entrances.  This time around, I visited a completely different part of the park.  Whereas the roller coaster was the big show last year, this time it was the log flume.  I always thought of log flumes as particular to logging in the US, but maybe they use/d them here as well.  Anyway, no one was at the park this year, so the whole place had a bit of a ghost-town feel to it.

Lots of pictures for one and all to see. After all, it is not everyday folks get to see North Korea. (2004 trip and 2005 trip) [...] […] Also, make sure to look at the travels on there as well.
