The zip track of the course, which glides slightly over the sea in Daecheon from the 19-story tower with a x_height of 52m, perfectly satisfies the desire to fly. Actors Park Bogum and Kim Youjung experienced this in 'Youth MT'. Thanks to the line installed along the coast, you can see downtown Daecheon on the right at the beginning and fly over the sea from the middle to the end, which is even more fun. The cart ride on the way back is another 'fun' point, and it takes about 10 minutes to get back to the tower. There is also a cafe in the observatory one floor above the boarding area, so it is good to enjoy the scenery from an open point of view.
