Markerland Park: Cosmicland

In our final destination at Markerland, guests travel to an intergalactic spaceport in a science fiction setting. Drawing inspiration from the 1980s, this is a high-tech establishment outside of Chicago, Illinois, paying tribute to the frontier of space. This serves as the first "Intergalactic World's Fair," where species from all over the galaxy are coming to celebrate their technology, culture, and people.

When coming in from a futuristic-looking arch, guests appear in a Cold War-era plaza with futuristic designs. In the center is a spinning mixer ride where guests ride in rockets known as Rocket Race. A nearby shop, Unidentified Flying Objects, serves galactic goods. Around here is the Alien Interaction, a Turtle Talk-esque show where guests meet a group of curious aliens and ask questions about their planet, as well as answer some of their questions about Earth. Also in the area is a trackless shooter ride known as Cyber Wars. When an alien virus takes over AI robots and sends them on a rampage in Chicago, guests must fight them off with their laser guns. The technology is similar to Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, but with improved aiming, and similar to Men in Black: Alien Attack at Universal, guests will get a different ending depending on how well they do. The ride exits into Robot Supply.

As guests keep going into the land, they will find a giant spaceship in the center of a large area. On the right, they will find a motion simulator ride, Star Voyagers, a Star Tours-style attraction where guests fly to other planets, but someone is mistaken for an intergalactic criminal and they must escape. Like Star Tours: the Adventures Continue, it is different every time you ride with randomized sequences, although it is not in 3D. The ride exits into Comet Cargo. To the left are two restaurants: an ice cream shop known as Big Dipper and a burger joint known as Constellation Cafeteria. Also in this area is the park's most intense coaster, an indoor thrill ride known as Protectors of the Planet. Here, an unfriendly alien army launches an invasion of Earth, and the US dispatches a team of astronauts to fight them off, working with the Soviets to do so. The ride features four inversions, including a loop, two barrel rolls, and an inverted stall. Riders must also store their belongings in a locker before they ride. A nearby gift shop, Space Age Store, serves merchandise themed to the ride.
