A new theme park in southern Taiwan's Kaohsiung County, that claims to be Taiwan's largest, was scheduled to begin a trial run on June 19.
The park, featuring themes from Greek mythology, has 47 entertainment facilities and is expected to attract more than five million visitors a year according to E-United Group, the owner of E-Da theme park and outlet mall.
"We hope to build E-Da World into Taiwan’s Disneyland," said Lin Yi-shou, founder of the group.
The amusement park, which cost around US$930m to build, contains an indoor park and some rides never seen before in Taiwan, including a seven-storey freefall ride with seats angled at 45 degrees, a half pipe-shaped Big Air coaster and an 18-storey booster ride.
