The lands are International Street, Medeival Faire, International Festival, Hanna-Barbera Land, White Water Canyon Area, Splash Works, and Grande World Exposition of 1890. Wonderland is a very beautiful park with lots of landscaping, with it's centrepiece being a 100 ft (30 metres) tall mountain made out of limestone with a waterfall in the front. Known as Wonder Mountain, it serves as a cooling system for the park and it's thought to have been designed after a mountain in Africa. Guests used to be allowed to walk up the ramps to the top and observe the rest of the park.
