CF \| You walk towards the entrance of Grooverland and are impressed by its

CF \|
CF \| Grooverland is surrounded by a plastic castle wall pierced by two tall
CF \| gates to the east, one red and one white. Streams of people
CF \| flow in and out of them and you can hear screams and laughter from
CF \| inside.
CF \|
CF \| A gate guard in a paisley vest sitting in a Welcome Booth waves you
CF \| over. "Welcome, Your Majesty! Let me know if you have any questions.
CF \| Otherwise, go out there and have fun!" he says, handing you a flier.

CF \|
CF \| As our royal guest of honor, you are cordially invited to your own

CF \|
CF \| To enter the castle, you must find a full set of regalia. This
CF \| includes:
CF \|
CF \| a ring,
CF \| a Sugar Plum Crown,
CF \| a royal scepter,
CF \| a mantle,
CF \| and a sun orb.
CF \| Each can be found in a different attraction.
CF \|
CF \| The park is laid out from west to east. Shops are available off the
CF \| Melancholy Mall. Animals both gentle and dangerous can be found
CF \| off the Prowling Promenade. Exciting rides are found off of the
CF \| Mechanical Marvels. Halloween-themed spooky attractions are
CF \| available year-round in the Spooky Sideshow! And our performers
CF \| and the Queen's Castle itself are available in the Bitter End.
CF \|
CF \| The Mirrored Queen and the Scarlet Empress welcome you to Grooverland!

CF \|
CF \| [You can check the flier in your inventory to see the requirements for

CF \| This set is more dynamic than the others. A large table is suspended

CF \| It takes you a while to figure it out, but it looks like there are two

CF \| One of the countesses decides to do a barrel roll and smashes directly
