Melbourne, July 11 : Get ready for some real action – a new theme park is set to open in Australia whose main feature will be trapping daredevils in a fibreglass “cage of death''” for a close encounter with a 5.5m crocodile.

Just 4cm of acrylic will separate brave punters from the jaws of Choppa - a feisty saltwater croc.

The tourists of Top End – the second northernmost point on the continent of Australia –will climb into a clear box before being lowered into Choppa''s lair.

One of the first people to climb into the ‘Cage of Death’, Jim Charles, revealed that it was a scary experience.
