Here’s the land description
Bunyan is located on the far right side of the lake between The Passage and El Dorado. The land is supposed to feel like an island, so on both sides of the land there are bridges entering from The Passage and El Dorado over a water feature. The bridge from the passage is an ice bridge that features a gradual shift from Inuit design and architecture over to Slavic design and architecture. Meanwhile, the bridge from El Dorado starts off solid gold but gradually shifts to a more stony and Slavic look to it.
Once on the “island” the land unfolds before you. In the center is the Sacred Oak, a massive artificial oak in the center of the land with branches that reach for the sky and roots that pop up throughout the land creating archways or barriers along the walkway. Surrounding the oak is a botanical garden filled with beautiful flowers and plants that guests can meander through before getting to the tree itself.
Attached to the tree is a swing attraction themed to the Morning and Evening stars, each swing made to represent a different star that illuminates throughout the night.
Towards the back of the land is the Holy Mountains, a set of mountains that house the E-ticket attraction. Between the mountains and the Sacred Oak is a small forest that guests can walk through and experience a few animal species native to the island, as well as a special mythological creature towards the end.
Around the front of the land, nearby the water, there is a teacup-style spinning flat ride that is themed to riding on a whirlpool. There are two thrill levels to the ride, one under the “waterspout” line and one under the “maelstrom” line. Guests can choose which line they want to wait in and ride. Nearby the teacup ride is a small aquarium with different small exhibits inside.
Elsewhere throughout the land is another spinner attraction. While mainly featuring flat rides, the theming around the land makes it feel like a mysterious island.

So I realize this was unintentional, but I think it’s neat how through five lands we touched 5 different continents.
The Passage (North America)
Yùn Chèng (Asia)
Zerzura (Africa)
El Dorado (South America)
Buyan (Europe)
Too bad we didn’t have time for a final land for Australia, but I just thought that was a fun thing we accidentally did

We wound up doing a nice job on getting a very international feel for this park.
Plus, it's kinda cool how we managed to largely lean away from the really well-known "lost lands" and use places that aren't as well known in the pop cultural consciousness.

That’s really cool! I don’t think any of us planned that when choosing lost lands so that’s even better!
