In 2012, facing capacity issues, Korea's Lotte World needed ways to expand the available guest area of the landlocked theme park. The solution was for the park to claim the floors below it, transforming the former mall into additional theme park space. Frequent collaborator, Legacy Entertainment, designed this concept for UNDERLAND- a magical realm home to friendly Ogres from Korean folklore. After the design phase, some major changes were made- the themed dining and retail venue were revised to be leasable spaces for chain restaurants, and the Dark Ride was replaced with a TrioTech Xd Theater.
The 3 development phases of this floor below the park was completed in 2015, and has helped the park address its increasing popularity.
