A pageantry

 

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Moby Dick ride, the Austrian version. The adventures that Friedrich Anton Maria Hubertus Bonifacius Graf von Ledebur-Wicheln concocted for you today take place in the nine remote islands of Austria. These adventures are adventures of the imagination.

 

Austria is transformed into a mighty ocean by Friedrich Anton Maria Hubertus Bonifacius Graf von Ledebur-Wicheln’s imagination. His imagination spreads through ancient cities of the old world like a gigantic white whale, casting shadows everywhere. Your mission is to hunt and kill the Austrian White Whale of the imagination.
