The 4D Death Simulator at the Window Of The World theme park has opened just in time for Halloween.

Participants lie down in a wooden coffin in a mock mortuary before ghoulish ride attendants push them into a "furnace" – which heats up to a sweltering 40 degrees Celsius.

Thrilled fan Ting Shen, 22, said: "You really feel like you’re being burnt alive.

"I feel like I died and came back."

A spokesman for the park, in Shenzhen, southern China, said: "The customers can wander around the morgue first and then get to fell how it would be if they were cremated.

"People have a morbid fascination with death and the after-life and this is a good way of experiencing both."

But the attraction has so far only appealed to younger crowds.

Mum Yue Wan Ho, 43, said: "I went into the morgue bit with my kids who couldn’t wait to get inside the coffin.

"But I think it’s all just a little bit too weird for me.

"I think I’ll wait until my time is really up before pretending it is."
