Korean Small World knockoff ride

Check out this video from the Global Village ride at Everland in Korea ("the most-visited non-Disney park in the world"). Global Village is a crude knock-off of Small World from the Disney parks, a ride I have a real soft-spot for, mostly because of Mary Blair's beautiful graphic design. Global Village lacks that, but it does have a slightly less ear-wormy theme song.

That's no accident – at Everland, the park mascots, Lastar and Laila, look suspiciously like Mickey and Minnie, as well. Not to sell Korea's top amusement park short, or anything – there are many reasons why this is one of the most attended on the planet (recent stats actually place it as the most visited non-Disney park in the world.)
