Not once but TWICE have Sally Dark Rides made USA Today’s 10 best attractions list as the globally recognised leader in creating family dark rides shows the competition who’s boss!
Two of the company’s newest dark ride experiences have been named as top attractions in the United States with both Treasure Hunt: The Ride and Whispering Pines Haunted Hotel both making the shortlist!
Treasure Hunt: The Ride
Opened in Monterey, California Treasure Hunt: The Ride earned third overall in the Best New Attraction category.
Developed and created in partnership with Daniel’s Wood Land, Treasure Hunt takes guests on a multi-part adventure filled with pirates, lost treasure and even a mighty Kraken.
Located on historic Cannery Row in Monterey, California, Treasure Hunt features theme park thrills and creative storytelling in a unique stand-alone adventure.
Whispering Pines Haunted Hotel
Debuting at Funtown Splashtown USA last August the ride earned sixth place overall in the Best New Theme Park Attraction category.
The attraction tells a unique tale about a wicked witch who has placed a curse on the hotel, and guests must take part in interactive elements to free the building from her haunts and spells.
The hotel’s story, engaging gameplay and Sally’s life-like animatronics all came together to secure the sixth spot overall on the Best New Theme Park Attraction list.
