MagiQuest, the interactive world of fantasy game, will be opening in Japan's Lagunasia theme park during 2008.
To participate in the game, each player receives a 'magic wand' and selects from a variety of quests and adventures in a bid to accumulate special powers.
As these powers increase, players proceed to higher levels of the game where the degree of difficulty also increases. Players find themselves inside a three dimensional world where they must follow clues that take them deeper and deeper into a magical realm populated by an array of characters and creatures. At Lagunasia the game will be presented in English but with Japanese subtitles.
Lagunasia itself is situated in the Laguna Gamagori Resort on Mikawa Bay in central Japan. Opened in 2002 it currently features 22 all-ages attractions, including the Stellar Coaster, Aqua Wind and Pirates’ Blast coasters, water park, shops, restaurants and Cellosia Hall, a multi-purpose venue hosting year-round events.
MagiQuest, a creation of Creative Kingdoms LLC, already has locations at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and in Great Wolf Lodge resorts in Poconos, Pennsylvania; Traverse City, Michigan; Williamsburg, Virginia; Kansas City, Kansas; and Mason, Ohio. Further locations are planned for Great Wolf Lodge resorts in Grapevine, Texas; and Grand Mound, Washington.
Creative Kingdoms also developed DinoQuest, a live action adventure game that takes place in the Jurassic period at the Discovery Science Center, in Santa Ana, California.

Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |
|
Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
