— — the wooden coaster you can hear from the parking lot.
“South Korea's largest theme park, opened in 1976 as Yongin Farmland and renamed in 1996. Five themed zones spread across a hillside in Gyeonggi Province, with the T-Express wooden roller coaster on the ridge and the Lost Valley safari at the back of the property. Tulips in April, roses in May, fireworks at the end of the night. Families arrive at opening and leave the gate near midnight, the kids asleep against the strollers.
Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

Everland is South Korea's largest theme park, in the city of Yongin in Gyeonggi Province, about 40 kilometres southeast of Seoul. It opened on 1 April 1976 as Yongin Farmland and was reworked and renamed Everland in 1996. The park is operated by Samsung C&T's resort division and anchors a larger resort that includes Caribbean Bay water park and a championship golf course. Annual attendance has run around 5.8 million in recent years, putting it consistently among the world's top twenty theme parks.
The park runs a year-long calendar of seasonal festivals that draw repeat visitors. The Tulip Festival opens the spring season in early April with more than a million bulbs on the lower lawns. The Rose Festival follows in May and June. Summer brings water nights at Caribbean Bay; autumn brings chrysanthemums and Halloween. The winter season, with snow sledding and the long evening light display, runs from late November through February.
The park is reachable from Seoul by subway and shuttle: Bundang Line or Suin-Bundang Line to Giheung, then the Everline light rail to Jeondae·Everland station, then a short shuttle. Hours typically run from 10:00 to around 22:00, with longer evenings on summer and holiday dates. The signature ride is the T-Express, a wooden roller coaster opened in 2008 that remains one of the steepest in the world at a 77-degree first drop. Lockers, stroller rental, and a Q-Pass system are at the main gate.
