In which, each small them park incorporates different buildings in different historic periods and different regional cultures, song and dance performance, commercial food and beverage, amusement facilities, etc. and each theme zone has a story line running through in it. For example, there is a “Ghost House” in the Legend Castle, which is an item combining 3 different play facilities: “Mysterious Game House” (exhibiting interesting small machine parts, similar to “believe or not, it is up to you”), “Maureen Secret Laboratory” (making tourists experience unexpected rotation inside) and “King Arthur’s Round Table” (The Story of the Sword in the Stone, and experiencing the secret of centrifugal force by means of rotation and plane floor descending), the whole story line is to let tourists visit a museum in the Middle Ages.
