Don’t be afraid – the Global Village ride at Korea’s Everland amusement park won’t hurt you. It’ll just creep you out a little. Kind of like Disney’s It’s a Small World, which, not surprisingly, this ride calls to mind. (A lot.)

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.) So many reasons, this is going to make for a great feature story in an upcoming edition of the paper. Stay tuned.
