The exposition site consisted of three main areas - the international zone, the corporate zone and the fun park zone.
Being a specialized exposition, the pavilions in the international zone were for the most part pre-fabricated and rented out to the various international participants for the duration of the exposition. One hundred and eight nations[contradictory] participated at Taejon Expo '93 - making it one of the largest expositions ever held. Among the most memorable were the flagship Korean and United Nations Pavilions.
The corporate zone represented the best wizardry that Korean companies could afford, with some spectacular architecture and contents, all along the theme of the exposition, with the majority of these pavilions being permanent in nature. Pavilions included "Starquest" by Samsung, and the three-dimensional IMAX presentation courtesy of Daewoo. For the Korean Air Lines sponsored pavilion, award winning experience designer Bob Rogers (designer) and the design team BRC Imagination Arts and Iwerks Entertainment (SimEx-Iwerks) produced a 360 degree 9-screen travelogue of a Korean girl who receives magical Circlevision postcards from her pen pals around the world.
There was also the Kumdori Land fun-park zone, named after the Expo's alienesque mascot "Kumdori", which featured some of the latest in roller-coasters and other more traditional fun-park fare.
The center of the exposition was pinnacled by the 93-metre high "Hanbit-tap" - or Tower of Great Light, modelled on a traditional Korean Observatory, where guests could take a lift to the central viewing platform for a bird's eye view of the whole exposition site. Today, this platform features a few physics experiments and picnic tables.
Also nearby were the flagship Korean National Pavilion, as well as the engineered United Nations Pavilion in the shape of a graceful dove.
Overall, it can be said[by whom?] that Expo '93 was a great success, with some of the most memorable technological displays seen at any world's fair.
