The Maple Island Zone will be created on Magic Island, the outdoor space of Lotte World Adventure, covering approximately 1,984 square meters (about 600 pyeong). The area is themed after three worlds from MapleStory: "Henesys," "Arcana," and "Ludibrium."

Three new attractions have been introduced: the roller coaster "Stone Express," the healing attraction "Arcana Ride," and the drop-type attraction "Eos Tower." The existing attraction "Gyro Spin" will also be transformed with the concept of MapleStory's iconic monster "Pink Bean." The 10-meter-diameter disc will be redesigned to resemble a pink record, offering the fun of riding what feels like a giant spinning record. In addition, a "Character Plaza" will be created in front of the main gate of the Maple Island Zone, and both a gift shop and F&B (food and beverage) stores will be operated.

Since March 14, Lotte World Adventure has also been hosting the spring season festival "MapleStory in Lotte World" in collaboration with MapleStory. This festival will run until June 14.
