Markerland Park: Storybookland


 The largest area of the park is a family area where guests can be transported into the world of stories. Here, guests can relive key adventures from Arthurian and Greek Mythology and dive into the tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson.

When guests go across the bridge, they approach a giant medieval castle, the icon of the park. This is King Arthur's Castle, which houses a walkthrough attraction, two shops: Christmas Court and Merlin's Medieval Gifts, as well as a restaurant called Royal Banquet. Guests then proceed into the Medieval village of Camelot, home to Sir Gawain's Carousel. While another restaurant, the Avalon Tavern is found on the left, an omnimover dark ride called Camelot Quest is on the right. Here, guests follow the Knights of the Round Table as they search for the Holy Grail, hoping it can help lift a curse that Morgan le Fey has but on Camelot. In addition, a second restaurant called the Pauper's Plate is found here.
Guests then enter a German village inspired by the stories of the Brothers Grimm. Nearby is the Witch's Candy Corner, where guests can buy candy in a giant gingerbread house. In front of it is the Cauldron Spin, a teacups attraction inspired by Hansel and Gretel. Also nearby is the Fairy Tale Kitchen restaurant and two dark rides: Jack and the Beanstalk, a suspended dark ride similar to Peter Pan's Flight, and Red Riding Hood, a trackless dark ride. Both of them are lighthearted portrayals of the fairy tales that all ages can enjoy. Both rides exit into Jacob and Wilhelm's Village Store, a gift shop.
Continuing on, guests enter a Greek area. Here, guests can eat Greek food at the Trojan Cafe and shop at the Treasures of the Gods gift shop. In the area is a spinning ride known as Flight of Pegasus, which is similar to Dumbo the Flying Elephant. The headliner of this area, however, is the towering Mount Olympus, where guests can ride the family coaster, Journey to Mount Olympus. Here, guests go to the mountain and help the Greek Gods defend it against the monster Typhon.
The final area is a Scandinavian section, inspired by the tales of Hans Christian Anderson. This place mainly is inspired by Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, and their cuisine is sold at the Storyteller's Cellar restaurant. This is where guests can find the Storybookland station for the Markerland Railroad, where their trains depart to Visionland. Also in the land are two shops: Steadfast Toys and Duckling Delicacies. This is also where guests can board the Storybook River Cruise, an outdoor boat ride similar to Disneyland's Jungle Cruise, but with a story twist. Here, guests can see models of storybook locations, complete with music and animatronics. This includes stories from many authors from Medieval times to the early 1900s. Also in this area is a dark ride known as The Snow Queen, where guests ride Sleighs and journey with Greta as she attempts to rescue her boyfriend Kai from the wicked Snow Queen.

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 ...
