Ringland, a new sword-and-sorcery theme park in Upper Bavaria, erupts into real-life terror. Computerized special effects-animatronic dragons and a fantasy castle with parapets aflame-are hijacked by a terrorist mastermind, who then programs his own deadly pyrotechnics. Meanwhile, as the world looks on through media eyes, contending factions of eco-warriors and neo-Nazi motorcycle gangs lay siege to the park, further escalating what is already a PR disaster. Finally, with thousands of tourists already en route for Ringland's official opening day, the mysterious terrorist threatens mass casualties unless his diabolical demands are met. Outmaneuvered at every step, frustrated security forces enlist a visiting FBI agent to help them find and foil the evil genius at the epicenter of the apocalyptic violence.
