"Russian Disneyland", the new amusement park in the Russian resort city of Sochi, which earlier hosted the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, is to open its doors to the first visitors this May. The grand opening ceremony is set for for early June, the city authority said on Tuesday.

      “Over 18 attractions will be available to visitors by the time of the opening. The park operated in a test mode during the Olympics, offering its guests only six rides,” the message by the Sochi administration said.

      The Sochi Park, also unofficially named by locals as the “Russian Disneyland,” is located in the sprawling Imeret Lowlands and borders on the Olympic Park, the location of the magnificent skating and hockey venues. The new amusement park is decorated in style of Russian fairy tales, legends and cartoons familiar to many generations of Russians.

      The authority said that ticket prices will fluctuate throughout the year based on the season, but the maximum price will be fixed at 1,500 rubles (about 42 dollars). A full ticket will give its buyer access to absolutely all carrousels and rides in the park during the whole day.
