Synopsis

A trip to Adventure Planet turns into a fantastical adventure for Lulu and her family. When Lulu's dad wins her a special prize, she picks the sparkly magic wand-only to find out that this is a real magic wand and every wish is now Lulu's command. When her imagination runs wild, so does the amusement park as the merry go round comes to life, cotton candy sprouts all over, and the roller coaster turns into a giant snake! Before long the park is in chaos and it's up to Lulu's brother and sister to stop her magic wand. Can they find Lulu and return the park to normal?
