The amusement park is set in Brojce, on Poland's northern coast, and has plans to create a fairytale-theme attraction, which was originally announced back in 2017.
When it eventually opens it is expected to be a rival to Energylandia - one of Europe's largest theme parks.
The park is expected to have a lighthouse, which will connect the four themed zones - each of which is inspired by a local legend or fairytale.
In addition, the destination will span 400,000-square-metres and the four lands include Mermaid City, the Kingdom of Baltambrya, the Land of the Vikings and the Dragon Valley of the Mines.
One of the park's top attractions is expected to be a steel coaster called GhostRider.
It will launch riders 176 feet into the air and reach speeds of up to 72-miles-per-hour.
Most of the rides are yet to be named but visitors can expect to experience 20 food and drink areas in the park.
The park expects to welcome over one million visitors each year.
Karen Hovsepyan, vice president of the park's operator Hosso Group, told Planet Attractions: "Hossoland will be the only amusement park of such a large scale on the Polish coast.
"It will certainly become a recognisable symbol and a frequently visited place in this region."
For Brits wanting to head to the new park, the best way to get there will be to fly to Szczecin, which with Ryanair can cost as low as £14.99, from both Liverpool and London.
From the airport, Hossoland is then around an hour drive away.
Ticket prices vary between low and high season, with a regular ticket costing £29.48 in low season, and £33.44 in high season.
Two and three day tickets can also be purchased and if it is a visitor's birthday on the day of entry (up to 18-years-old), they will get their entry for just 20p.
