Mythical Ocean

  Do you have what it takes to challenge the sea? Are you ready to encounter the great beings of the sea, the heroes, the monsters, maybe even the gods themselves? If so, come here to this crater within Mount Mythos, the icon of the park, where your trials await. Prepare yourself, mortal, for this is where you will find your greatest experience of all.........but we'll cover that later. If you cross the bridge from Berk, you will come into some Greek ruins. This is where you can find two experiences: Odysseus's Stunt Show and Poseidon's Fury. The former is an original stunt show while the latter is a clone of the Islands of Adventure attraction. You can eat at Fire Eaters, or you can enter the crater of Mount Mythos. In the crater, you will find a lagoon with a big fountain. The crater is a small location, but it houses two of the park's most immersive attractions.

Pacific Port

  Set on the American west coast, you will find adventures in two sections. You can take in the city of San Francisco or you can explore the mysteries of Astoria. Be warned, however, because thrills await at every corner, whether it's a sixteen-story splashdown or a furious car chase, there is always something insane about to happen. Coming off of the London area is a San Francisco area. At a big building, you can eat at Teppan Dashi Japanese Grill and Cassie's Bakery, or shop at Fisherman's Store. Harbor Market is to the left of this and offers souvenirs too. To the right of the building is Ricter's Burgers, a restaurant themed to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

In this magical shopping district in London, you will find all of your necessary needs to go to the famous wizard school. However, unexpected things happen here. You might cast a spell, stumble upon a joke shop, or come face-to-face with a fire-breathing dragon........one that breathes actual fire! When crossing over Tower Bridge, the 1960s becomes the 1990s as you enter a different part of London. This appears to be mostly muggle, but don't be fooled by it. Around the area are several magical traces such as the Knight Bus, Number 12, Grimmauld Place, and the entrance to the Ministry of Magic. Near the border to Pacific Port, you will find King's Cross Station, where you can ride the Hogwarts Express--King's Cross Station to Hogsmeade.
