The park also offers archery, axe throwing, and a themed train experience. Guests are able to join one of the park's guilds by completing tasks given to them by characters. Visitors in the park are referred to as "World Walkers", and are permitted to come in costume. Instead, most of the guest experience revolves around interaction with actors in the park's fantasy setting, where guests are encouraged to roleplay for themselves and take part in the park's storyline. Features Įvermore does not have traditional rides. One of the attraction ideas Bretschneider and visual effects artist Curtis Hickman had envisioned for the project, which would combine virtual reality with a physical environment, was spun off from Evermore into a separate business known as The Void, which also faced difficulty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, many of the park's actors were laid off, and the land and buildings of the park were sold to Brandon Fugal, the chairman of Colliers International, reportedly allowing the park to break even.
