About
Okpo Land (Korean: 옥포랜드; RR: Okporaendeu; MR: Okp'oraendŭ) was an amusement park based in the outskirts of Okpo-dong, Geoje city, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. While not much is known about the park's history, it opened in 1996 (stated by some sources to have been in May 1997) and closed in 1999 allegedly after a series of fatal accidents, in particular the death of a child who fell from the duck sky cycles ride. The legitimacy of these claims have been put in dispute for several years, with the rumors believed to be originating from an accident in which an elementary school student fell from the Sky Cycle rails after the amusement park went out of business. A more likely reasoning behind the closure of the park is said to have been due to financial issues deriving from an economic crisis that affected South Korea from 1997 through 1998.
