There are two types of people in this world, those who love going on roller coasters and those who avoid it at all costs.
If you happen to be somebody that loves roller coasters, then you certainly would appreciate the new SpaceWalk in South Korea.
This isn’t your standard roller coaster where you strap in and scream from one point to the other. Rather, you would take a slow walk through the coaster as you are able to access the entire ride on foot.
The roller coaster itself is a piece of contemporary public artwork. According to Colossal, two German artists are responsible for designing the ride that spans 1090 feet.
When you enter the ride, you can either take a slow stroll through the scenic walkway or you can go the whole way through the helix in a more intense walk.
There is also a loop de loop, although that part of the ride is off-limits.
SpaceWalk is more than just a walkable roller coaster, it’s a great way to see the sights. Of course, if you are not very fond of heights, you may not be able to climb the peak of 230 feet and look down on everything below you.
You might also want to consider taking the walk at night, as the entire sculpture is illuminated by LED lights.
In the end, everyone is calling it a roller coaster but the artists were trying for something different. They wanted people to feel as if they were walking through space, which is why they gave it the name, SpaceWalk.
