The Deserted Fairground is a part of the Haunted Woods. It hosts a few shops, as well as many games to play (like [[Test Your Strength]] and the [[Wheel of Misfortune]]), although many of the games are rigged, and so are almost unwinnable.
The '''Haunted Woods''' is a spooky [[Wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]] themed land that was introduced on October 31, 2000.  These scary, dark, and foggy woods are home to all manner of ghosts, witches, and monsters. Located 175 miles south west of [[Neopia Central]], the Haunted Woods cover 2,400 square miles.  


==Yooyuball==
==Attractions==
The Haunted Woods [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team subscribes to the old saying "defense wins championships," and has built its team to shut down forwards and force mistakes which create easy scoring opportunities for them, requires plenty of discipline and determination from the other team to defeat them. The Haunted Woods won the Altador Cup of 2006.

Released on October 31, 2002, the '''Deserted Fairground''' is a spooky carnival that lies deep within the Haunted Woods.  Despite being called "deserted", this area is actually quite lively and is filled with shops and games.

===Neovia===
[[Image:Neovia map 2010.png|thumb|295px|right|The town of Neovia.]]
'''Neovia''' is a [[Wikipedia:Victorian era|Victorian]] themed town that was introduced as part of the [[Tale of Woe]] [[plot]].  Located just past the Gypsy Camp, this spooky yet oddly peaceful town is filled with a variety of shops.


With the retirement of veteran defender [[Chelo Binay]] in 2007, it was questioned whether the defensive unit of the team would be as good as last years. If the playing of newcomer [[Autrey Fulse]] was any indication, Haunted Woods fans with hopes of back-to-back titles wouldn't need to worry. However, the favourites going into last year's tournament were [[Altador]], [[Faerieland]], and [[Mystery Island]], so it's uncertain how the year would go. A disappointment to Haunted Woods fans was a drop from a championship to 7th, then continuing a gradual slide from grace with a 8th in 08 and 10th in 09
When Neovia was first released on October 6, 2006, it was abandoned and in ruins.  However, after the conclusion of the Tale of Woe on November 21, 2006, the town was rebuilt.  On this same day, the plot-specific areas of Neovia, such as the abandoned mansion, the trail to [[Sophie's hut]], and [[The Meepit Oaks Sanitorium for the Psychologically Fragile]], were removed.


Team positions are as follows (bolded notes the Team Captain):

==Climate==
==Yooyuball==
The weather is relatively cool and fairly wet in the summer, with plenty of rain. It is very wet in the spring and fall, with rain or snow almost every day, and it is very cold in the winter with blizzards and strong winds.
{{main|Team Haunted Woods}}
Ever since winning the championship in 2006, the Haunted Woods' Yooyuball team has been in a steep decline, placing lower and lower every year. Though they are a talented, defence-oriented squad, the team lacks the offensive power to consistently win games.
