All of these animals are plush toys in June's room.Clockwork Swings is the main ride of the park. Activating the Swings also opens the park. The park has a transportation system called SkyFlinger. The passengers sit in a glass bowl, which is picked up by a mechanical arm and thrown over a long distance, where another mechanical arm catches it and puts the glass bowl on the ground. The mascots of the park are the WonderChimps. They come in the shape of dolls with over 5200 outfits to choose from.Mrs. Bailey and June imagine together a new ride in the shape of a carousel, with flying fish that riders could use to travel all over the park. June gives Peanut his marker, and Mrs. Bailey whispers the instructions in Peanut's ears, and he proceeds to create a new ride for the park. Mrs. Bailey says that Wonderland could be real, and this inspires June.Banky (Oev Michael Urbas) is June's best friend. June works with Banky to create her own "real" version of Wonderland in her backyard. June creates a really elaborate roller coaster linking up several backyards in her neighborhood. He then rides the coaster with Banky, but the coaster car ends up going out of control and causes damage to the backyards and fences of almost all neighbors. The sheriff suggests sending June to military school. Mrs. Bailey refuses to discipline June and asks her to create Wonderland in a way that does not destroy the neighborhood. Together, they create miniature versions of the Wonderland rides inside their home. They recreate all of the ride inside the home, and June comes up with the idea of the bendy straw slide.Over time, Mrs. Bailey (Jennifer Garner) starts to get sick and is sent away for recovery. June starts alienating from Wonderland. She realizes that she cannot bring herself to whisper in Peanut's ear and burns the blueprints of the park out of frustration. Sometime later, Mr. Bailey sends June to math camp. June is worried that her father will not be able to take care of himself in her absence as she does most of the work around the house.After misinterpreting a note from her father (Matthew Brodrick) as a cry for help (it simply said "miss you"), she uses her friend Banky (Oev Michael Urbas) to create a distraction on the bus to escape and return home. On her way through the woods, she encounters a floating piece of her Wonderland Blueprint and follows it. In the process, she finds a broken-down Wonderland in the woods.The park is currently being stormed by a cloud named the Darkness. June meets the animals who are fighting the Chimpanzombies, who are destroying the park and feeding it to the Darkness one piece at a time. Boomer says that the Darkness appeared when Clockwork Swing stopped working one day all of a sudden. It was the evil from the Darkness that converted the plush toys into Chimpanzombies. Peanut tried to start Clockwork Swings, but he lost his magic and was attacked by the Chimpanzombies and taken away.More than half the park is already gone, and the animals are worried about their future when the remaining half also goes. June convinces the animals that Wonderland is a figment of her and her mother's imagination that became real. She knew everything about all the animals, including their most personal habits. June promises Greta that there is a real shot of fixing Wonderland and that she is not giving them any false hopes.
