Markerland Park: Pioneerland



 When guests cross over a bridge to an old log fort, they are transported back to the days of the Old West. Here, guests can explore two different Western towns. Golden Gulch is a haunted gold-mining town with an elaborate backstory surrounding guardian spirits in a nearby mountain and the greedy mining company that disturbed them. Armadillo Falls is a fun little town where the inhabitants are anthropomorphic animals.

After coming out of the log fort, guests find themselves in Golden Gulch. Here, they can shop at the Golden Gulch Trading Post, eat at the Hungry Coyote and the Golden Pickaxe Saloon, or test their shooting skills at the Pioneerland Shootin' Arcade. This town is mainly inspired by Gold Rush towns in the Southwest. There are also three rides here. Going to the farthest corner of the land is Mysterious Manor, where guests tour a haunted mansion that belonged to the founders of Golden Gulch. It uses a similar ride system as the Cat in the Hat at Universal Islands of Adventure. Nearby is the Ghost Gallery gift shop. Also nearby is the Golden Gulch Riverboats, where guests ride riverboats around the land. The main attraction here, however, is Golden Mountain Mine Train, where guests take a rusty old mine train under the river and onto the island where the Golden Mountain is.

Going further to the west of the area is Armadillo Falls, which has its main inspiration from Utah and the pioneers. Here, guests can eat out of covered wagons in the Rattlesnake Ranch restaurant. Guests can also shop at the Golden Spike Store and board the Markerland Railroad, which leaves for Storybookland. The main attraction here, however, is the log flume dark ride known as Armadillo Falls River Run. Here, guests join Amelia Armadillo and her friends as they search for the treasure of a famous outlaw, competing against a local gang as they do. The ride exits into the Gopher Gifts shop.

Markersea: Mysteria: World of Magecraft

Image
 For the first time ever, guests get to enter the world of the Magecraft stories. This draws primarily from the films adaptations of the books (assuming there would be some) and recreates the village seen there, but there are references to the books too. When guests go on the trail out of Asian Waterfront, they can either follow it back to Victoria Bay or take a branch off and head off to Mysteria. They go through a tunnel in the Might of the Naga and exit into the Emerald Forest on the other side. There, they go through the gates and enter into Sorcerer's Square, where the statue of Magnus Canimoor is. On the left side is a recreation of the City Hall, as well as the Golden Moose Inn. On the right, guests can find more shopping at Lilac's Salon and Snorty's Joke Shop. Ahead of them is the lake, where guests can see Mysteria castle in all of its glory. If guests choose to go left, they will find the Snoring Hog restaurant. Also here is Spruce's Wandmakers, where guests ...
