Guests should be prepared to leave all their worries behind when they step through the Magic Portal and enter the magical Kingdom of Wyvernwood to experience an enchanting story about fierce dragons, fabulous fairies, a warrior princess, spell-blinding wizards, menacing goblins, magical unicorns and our heroic sea captain – all brought to life every day through our talented actors who welcome guests with an opening ceremony and make everyone feel special throughout the day.
