Happy laughter keeps ringing out at the Rungna People’s Pleasure Ground, a comprehensive cultural recreation ground built to go well with the scenery of picturesque Rungna Islet in the Taedong River flowing placidly.
Covering a large area, the pleasure ground consists of a water park, amusement park, mini-golf course, etc.
The Rungna Amusement Park is divided into two sections and there is a sightseeing engine plying between them.
The park is filled with laughter when evening glow lights the rolling waves of the Taedong and illuminations are turned on.
As the Mad Mouse runs along the steep and curved track, the Rotary Octopus makes riders feel as if heaven and earth are reversed and Vertical Swing and other facilities turn round fast, people cry out at the top of their voice with excitement, and bystanders heave a deep sigh of admiration.
Many people are familiar to keepers of amusement facilities as they have repeatedly ridden them.
The Sky Drop symbolic of the pleasure ground is always crowded with people.
Riders feel a real thrill when it jumps up to the air and it is at the dizzy height commanding a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding landscape. Regrettably, however, the facility drops in a moment giving no time to enjoy the scenery. Riders wear varied facial expressions: some do not open their eyes on the constantly moving machine and some others yell excitedly and cheerfully. Onlookers of all ages burst into laughter as they see those spectacles on the ground.
The amusement arcade equipped with various facilities is always “noisy”.
What young people like most is the punch strength gauge.
Even extrovert young men blush when they receive the appraisal of “weakly” from the machine though they confidently deliver a punch with all their strength, which amuses girls watching them nearby.
Public catering facilities of the pleasure ground also give pleasure to visitors.
The Rungnado Restaurant, houses serving noodles, seasoned rice rolled in laver, pancake and soft drinks provide distinctive services to cater to customers.
Lending added beauty to the islet, the Rungna People’s Pleasure Ground rings with the happy laughter of the people until late at night.
