Het Land van Ooit, Former amusement park in Drunen, Netherlands
The park featured a pink medieval castle, theatrical performances, and numerous costumed actors who interacted with children across 34 hectares of themed grounds.
The park, which opened in 1989 under former Efteling director Marc Taminiau, operated for 17 years before declaring bankruptcy and closing permanently in 2007.
Children received the status of knights and ladies upon entry, while staff members portrayed various medieval characters throughout the park's theatrical environment.
The remains of the park, including the 13th-century Steenenburgh Castle and Napoleon's soldier statues, are accessible for walking and photography.
The park implemented its own currency called OoitSent and required visitors to purchase special visas at the entrance to maintain its independent nation concept.
