Gummadoon
Gummadoon is a magical castle city of ancient Gummi Bears, that appears once every hundred years in the human kingdom of Dunwyn. It appears in the Adventures of the Gummi Bears episode "The Knights of Gummadoon".
Initially only thought of as a fairy tale, even by the present day Gummis from Gummi Glen, a tradition remains to read the castle's story every hundred years, "when the stars are correctly aligned", possibly in order to prepare the remaining Gummis for the castle's reappearance. Gruffi refers to Gummadoon as the "home of the Gummi way".
The castle actually houses a thriving community of ancient Gummis, who aided the Great Gummis in escaping to the three colonies Berryborn, Great Bearton, and New Gumbria when the humans battled them a few hundred years ago.
The Gummadoon Gummis left behind are defended by Sir Plucky, Sir Gumlittle, and the Knights of Gummadoon, and lead by Counselor Wooddale, Counselor Berrybaum, and three fellow counsel magicians, who made sure to hide the castle from humans throughout time.
Like Ursalia, Gummadoon has an "open-air" system of Quick Tunnels which employs swan-shaped Quick Cars that are able to glide in the air for short distances, instead of the traditional hawk-shaped Quick Cars that are used for underground travel.
During their one day together, Cubbi Gummi is knighted "Sir Cubbi" by the Council of Gummis, a "full Knight of Gummadoon for a day, with all the rights and privileges of that rank". After initially facing hostility from the Knights of Gummadoon, "Sir Cavin" is named a Knight as well, following the young human's rescue of one of their own, and helping the them defeat Duke Igthorn and his ogres, just in time before the castle vanishes for another hundred years.
