South Korea’s largest theme park will be built in Busan, according to the Busan Metropolitan Corporation (BMC) Tuesday.

Osraraaa Theme Park will break ground at the end of this year and open by 2019. It will be 2.5 times larger than Everland in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province -- now South Korea’s largest theme park.

Osraraaa Theme Park will have 31 major rides, including a street luge made by Skyline, the world-renowned theme park ride company.

The complex will also have a five-star hotel, a giant shopping mall and an aquarium.
