Check Out the Fictional Theme Parks

Emerald City Plaza

This land occupies the center of the park. Ozma’s Castle dominates the plaza at the end of the Yellow Brick Road. It contains a shop and a beautiful restaurant with windows overlooking Gillikan Country. Lining the Yellow Brick Road, you’ll find Cayke the Cookie Baker’s shop filled with delectable treats, King Flat Head’s Brain Teaser’s shop, and right behind them Polychrome’s Rainbow Ride, the Gnome King’s Cavern, Jin Jar’s Caramel Shop, and the Tin Man’s Trinkets.

Gillikan Country

A real treat is having lunch at Auntie Em’s Fried Chicken and then browsing through Jackdaw’s Stolen Memories Shop for souvenirs. Brave park goers also find a visit to the Cowardly Lion’s Lair a fun walk in the forest.

Munchkin Country

If you passed on lunch at Auntie Em’s, a good option for those with big appetites is the Hungry Tiger’s All U Can Eat buffet. It’s a short walk to Glinda the Good Witch’s castle and the adorable Land of the China Dolls. If your lunch has settled, you may one to try the indoor/outdoor roller coaster in the Spinning Mountain.

Land of the Winkies

On the opposite side of the park, is the very shiny Tin Woodsman’s Castle and the nearby Tin Steed Carousel. You’ll feel like a munchkin yourself when you venture into Utensia with its gigantic kitchen appliances. But if you’re looking for thrills, there is always the Frightening Forest.

Worlds of Darkness is a privately owned park featuring rides and shows based on The Guru of Gruesome’s horror movies.

The Garden of Evil

Customers enter the attraction through The Garden of Evil graveyard where the tombstone bear the names of mass murderers, movie villains, and monsters from books.

Dungeon of Doom

This large castle-like building, dominates the park and sits in the dead center. The ride attendants are called the Knights of Gore. Guests ride through this scary fun house in convertible hearses to see all kinds of tortures with their faces superimposed into the scenes.

Scene of the Crime

This cityscape park section recreate the sets from horror movies and mock ups of real world crime scenes. Popular rides and shows include The Saint Valentines Day Massacre, Mrs. O’Learys Cow Barn, the Tunnel of Terror, and the Runaway Elevated Train. Creepy Crawley’s sells chocolate-covered bugs, and you can pick up a sweet treat at Deadly Doughnuts, if you dare.

Area 51

Sci-Fi thrillers and mad scientist attractions populate this section of the park. It’s home to the most awesome indoor rollercoaster ever—the Alien Accelerator. It is housed in a large building that resembles the Kennedy Space Center‘s Vehicle Assembly Building.

The Dismal Swamp

Creepy nightmare creatures lurk in the swamp’s main lagoon as well as humongous snakes, gators, and crazed swamp people. Hungary park-goers can grab lunch at Can O’ Worms. Its deck is a good place to dry out after the Swamp Creature drenches unsuspecting guests with green, slimy water.

Fairytale Village

Because of the whimsical buildings, it appears Worlds of Darkness has a lighter side and a section young kids can enjoy. But the attractions here are based on Grimm’s fairytales. They are darker and way scarier than more modern versions of the classic stories that delight children. For instance to try and cram their stinky feet into the tiny class slipper, Grimm’s wicked stepsisters cut off their toes and their heels.
