History
[edit]Lotte World Adventure Busan began construction on May 2019[1]. On March 2nd, 2021, it was revealed by Osiria Theme Park Development Group that Lotte World Busan would contain 31 different rides and entertainment facilities, including Giant Digger on opening. It was also revealed during the same date that the opening date of Lotte World Adventure Busan was delayed 3 months from its initial plan due to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic and was set to open sometime in August[2]. Lotte World Adventure Busan's opening and Giant Digger's launch was further delayed to March 2022 due to not only COVID-related risks but also initial delays in manufacturing and additional significant delays in the arrival of engineers overseas for safety testing[3]. On February 25, 2022, it was confirmed by Lotte World Adventure Busan staff that the park and the coaster would open on March 31, 2022[4].
