It has since opened, with the official opening date on June 27.
The theme park - in the village of Brojce which is around an hour from Szczecin - is spread across 400,000sqm.
And inside are four themed zones.
There is The Mermaid City, with the main attraction being the Mermaid Ride rollercoaster, which is a "fairy-tale world full of underwater adventures".
Kingdom of Baltambrya will have the Poseidon ride, which is a swinging hammer experience.
The Dragon Valley of the Mines will be a dragon-themed land, with suspended rollercoaster Aurora.
And finally there is the Land of the Vikings with the Thor rollercoaster inspired by Valhalla.
Other rides include chair rides, swinging ships, driving schools and playgrounds.

Said to want to rival Enerylandia, another theme park in Poland, some guests have been left less than impressed.
One wrote: "This is supposed to be competition for Energylandia? 4 rollercoasters?"
This is because Energlyandia has 18 rollercoasters which includes the world's largest hybrid coaster.
Others said the ticket prices were too high for the lack of rides.
Another wrote: "The park still has attractions under construction, so lets hope those will be more thrilling."
Some parents said that the park is great for younger guests with lots for them to do, but that there was a lack of adult rides.
Tickets cost 169PLN (£34.10) for guests over 120cm, or 1PLN (20p) for guests up to 85cm.
Reduced tickets for anyone over the age of 65 or for pregnant guests are 149PLN (£30).
This is for guests visiting during high season, from June 28 to August 31 with reduced tickets during the low season.
The theme park will be open from 10am until 1pm in the summer season.
Here is what it's like to go to Energylandia, according to a theme park expert.

Duchess of Sussex birthday picture celebrates her ‘magic'

A new image of the Duchess of Sussex has been shared to mark her 44th birthday. The Duchess, pictured in black and white, can be seen smiling with a garden in the background. It was published on the Instagram account of her lifestyle business, As Ever, on Monday afternoon. The accompanying caption states: 'Celebrating the woman behind it all. 'She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! 'Happy Birthday to our founder.' Meghan's business, for which she has partnered with Netflix, was officially launched in April. Among the products for sale were raspberry jam, wildflower honey, shortbread biscuit mix and edible flower sprinkles. More recently, the Duchess has launched her own rosé wine. The launch was coupled with her lifestyle show on Netflix, titled With Love, Meghan, which features the Duchess promoting a domestic idyll. Though widely panned by critics, the streaming giant has renewed it for a second season, which is being released this autumn.

Sydney Sweeney trolled over 'bad fashion genes' as outfit is savagely mocked at Americana premiere

Fans mercilessly blasted Sydney Sweeney 's fashion sense as she has been embroiled in controversy over an American Eagle ad which has led to US President Donald Trump anointing her his anti-woke queen. The 27-year-old actress - who was publicly heckled over the matter - was dragged over her busty look as she a bustier gown with tulle skirt, which was custom made by bridal designer Danielle Frankel, at the Hollywood premiere of her film Americana on Sunday. However, she was skewered over her fashion choices especially when it came to a pale yellow $18 Bahay Kubo 'Bahay' Headband she rocked with the ensemble as she was dressed by stylist Molly Dickson. It was over Sweeney's controversial American Eagle campaign, which was accused of pushing Nazi-like eugenics as aspirational. 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,' Sydney said in the commercial. 'My jeans are blue.' The newly-registered Republican has yet to publicly address the backlash to her controversial American Eagle campaign. The outfit was posted on celebrity fashion Instagram page Check The Tag and commenters were not kind about the look and her controversy. One referenced her American Eagle ad as they wrote: 'Who's responsible for her bad fashion genes?' 'Literally WHAT is the point of that headband?,' an Instagram user wrote as another remarked: 'The headband, the shape of the dress and length are not doing it for her. She needs to fire her stylist.' Hairstylist Glen Oropeza coiffed Sweeney's extension-filled brown waves and make-up artist Melissa Hernandez brought out her natural blue eyes with mascara and brushed-up brows at the gala. At the same event, the A-lister was heckled when walking into the screening. A woman called her names when she arrived at the event, according to a Monday report from TMZ. Last Friday, American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein issued a statement stressing that the spot 'is and always was about the jeans' and noted that 'great jeans look good on everyone.' The $3.3B denim brand's white supremacy accusations have definitely caused the stock price to dip over the past week. But a source claimed to TMZ last Wednesday that 'independent polling shows the vast majority of folks — around 70 percent — find the commercial appealing.' The Pittsburgh-based fashion retailer pledged to donate 100 percent of the proceeds from 'The Sydney Jean' (featuring a butterfly patch representing domestic violence awareness) to mental health support non-profit, Crisis Text Line. In Americana, Sydney plays an aspiring country singer and South Dakota waitress called Penny Jo Poplin in Lionsgate's modern-day western, which hits US theaters August 15 and UK theaters August 22. That's technically two years after Americana's world premiere at South by Southwest and three years after production wrapped. The long-delayed crime thriller — formerly known as National Anthem — also stars Halsey, Paul Walter Hauser, and Eric Dane. The $3.3B denim brand's white supremacy accusations have definitely caused the stock price to dip over the past week The 30-year-old blue-haired pop star — who plays Mandy Starr — bared her tattooed sleeves in a white corseted turtleneck top, bedazzled blue jeans, and white lacy pumps selected by stylist Lyn Alyson. Halsey (born Ashley Frangipane) and Sweeney were joined on the black carpet by their castmate Simon Rex — who plays Roy Lee Dean — and director Tony Tost. The Spokane-born, LA-raised bombshell will next portray the real-life German settler Margret Wittmer in Ron Howard's $50M-budget survival thriller Eden — hitting US theaters August 22 — alongside Jude Law, Ana de Armas, and Daniel Brühl. Sydney recently reprised her breakout role as Cassie Howard in the eight-episode third season of HBO hit show Euphoria, which is produced by and starring Zendaya as Ruby 'Rue' Bennett. Sam Levinson's drug-fueled drama will welcome newcomers Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch and Kadeem Hardison in season three. In January, Sweeney was hard at work executive producing and starring in Paul Feig's big-screen adaptation of Freida McFadden's 2022 novel The Housemaid, which Lionsgate plans to release in time for Christmas. On November 25, the Fifty–Fifty Films co-founder wrapped her role as professional boxer Christy Martin in David Michôd's untitled biopic, which she called 'one of the most emotional, transformative experiences of my life.' In Americana, Sydney plays an aspiring country singer and South Dakota waitress called Penny Jo Poplin in Lionsgate's modern-day western, which hits US theaters August 15 and UK theaters August 22 Sydney will soon begin producing and starring in her Euphoria castmate Colman Domingo's feature directorial debut Scandalous! about the love affair between Kim Novak and Sammy Davis Jr. (David Jonsson). Sweeney is very much in demand with several projects in the works including the Reddit-based thriller I Pretended to Be a Missing Girl for Warner Bros, Jon M. Chu's sci-fi flick Split Fiction for Amazon MGM Studios. She's producing Michael Bay's video game adaptation OutRun for Universal. Aside from her movie career, the Echo Valley actress — who boasts 26.1 million social media followers — is every bit the influencer with lucrative paid partnerships for brands like Samsung Mobile USA, Dr. Squatch, LANEIGE US, Bai, and HEYDUDE.

Conor Maynard reveals devastating health battle that has left him 'screaming in pain' after he was rushed to hospital by paramedics

Conor Maynard has opened up about the devastating health battle that has stopped the release of his new music and left him 'screaming in pain'. The Can't Say No hitmaker, 32, revealed on Monday why he released his single Runaway Man in May and then largely went to ground. Conor's disappearance from public life followed his revelation back in February that he had been rushed to hospital after falling down in his home. He told Instagram followers: 'So I thought I'd explain why I've been pretty quiet over the last few months, and why I released one song in May and then seemingly disappeared when the original plan was to post a string of songs for you guys. 'I posted earlier this year that I was experiencing issues with my back, and it has been quite the journey.' Alongside the post was a picture of the star being carried on a stretcher by paramedics and a snap of a cannula in his arm. Conor said that despite intending to release new music and visiting a chiropractor in a bid to solve his ongoing back problem, 'nothing improved'. The situation took another turn for the worse this weekend when he was left 'screaming in pain' because the pain in his back was so intense. He continued: 'Then I lost all the colour in my face which made my girlfriend panic so we called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital. 'The annoying thing about this kind of injury is that there isn't much that can be done immediately other than try to manage the pain, and then make more long term recovery attempts. 'Right now it's looking like surgery is the only option but obviously that's kind of scary.' Conor added: 'It really has affected by life in so many ways. 'Filming music content is nearly impossible as I can't lift or move any of my lights, even holding a camera up is too heavy.' After revealing that he has a bulging disk in his back, Conor, pictured with his girlfriend Kitty Bertrand, said that while he has a 'long' recovery journey ahead of him, he is hoping to release new music as 'soon' as he can. The singer's health troubles are not the only battle he has recently faced and he has also been embroiled in a paternity scandal after the Traitors' star Charlotte Chilton claimed that he was the father of her daughter Penelope after a one-night stand The singer's health troubles are not the only battle he has recently faced. He has also been embroiled in a paternity scandal after the Traitors' star Charlotte Chilton claimed on Instagram that he was the father of her daughter Penelope after a one-night stand. However, a subsequent DNA test confirmed in March that he was not the child's father. Conor subsequently appeared on This Morning to explain the toll the paternity scandal had on him after Charlotte went on to say she doubted the accuracy of the test. He said: 'I was instantly painted as a dead-beat dad. My comments on my social media were all about that.' Conor added: 'Mental health is something I have struggled with for a huge portion of my life. 'And this year has been up there with my battle with it.'
