Thank you for the translation - it's interesting to understand what the local people think of it given that it has obviously been controversial.

The Legoland theme park which is to be hosted by Jung-do, Lake Uiam's inner island of Gangwon-do is said to have its first phase cost around 300 Bil. KRW won (276.8 Mil. USD dollars), and with the exception of the hotel is said to have 50% of the theme park and the infrastructure's construction complete."

For your information, the comments on this video seems to be heavily panning the construction of this park in general. They seem to be complaining that the park trespasses many prehistoric artifacts and that a massive excavation should be in its place instead.

Today, December 6 at 8:32am, a fire broke out at one of the back of house buildings at Legoland Korea. After an hour and twenty minutes the fire was fully extinguished. Workers inside the building were able to evacuate the area and no injuries have been reported. The fire's cause has yet to be determined.

The safety diagnosis team cannot enter Korea due to COVID-19.

Therefore, the opening plan has delayed from July 2020 to the first half of 2021.

The process rate of rides and major facilities is about 50% excluding the hotels.

Construction is 59% complete!

New in-depth article/interview from Blooloop reveals new details and images:

At the time of writing, construction on around 50 percent of Legoland Korea Resort was complete.

“Most of the theme park proper will be finished by next summer,” says Ray Dubois. “Most of the landscaping will be in. All of the rides will be in. The last thing to be complete will be the hotel over the main entrance. We’ll probably end up doing the VIP tours in 2021, and the grand opening in 2022.”

The construction of a Legoland Hotel right over the main gate will be a Legoland first, creating an imposing welcome portal. Hotel guests will wake to views over Miniland. The same complex will also house the second iteration of the Lego Factory Adventure Ride, following its debut at Legoland New York.

Cementing Legoland’s Korea’s resort status in phase two will be a Legoland Water Park, although no timeline for the construction of this has yet been decided.

Land by land, here’s the other rides and manufacturers that will feature in the Legoland Korea opening line-up:

Bricktopia: Kids Power Towers (Sunkid Heege), Carousel (Bertazzon), Tea Cups (Sansei), Observation Tower (Sansei), Duplo Train.
Castle: Dragon Coaster (Zierer), Merlin’s Challenge (Mack Caterpillar), Magic Bikes (Zamperla), Horse Ride (Metallbau Emmelm).
Lego City: Driving School and Boating School (SB International), Rescue Academy and Legoland Express (Metallbau Emmeln), Jetski and Duplo Planes (Zierer).
Pirates Kingdom: Splash Battle (Mack), Captain Cranky’s Challenge (Zamperla Rockin’ Tug).
Ninjago Adventure: Ninjago The Ride (Triotech/ART Engineering).

Some rides will appear with different names by the time the park opens. In addition to the above, there will also be a selection of shows, theatres, retail, food & beverage and Lego play/construction opportunities.
