Dark Ride, Gobbler Getaway--Looking for turkeys in the pumpkin patch.

Black Light, Interactive, Family Fun! This lively, custom-designed family dark ride is set in the Thanksgiving area of Holiday World. This is the location of Autumn Falls, a make-believe town where autumn colors glow all year 'round, and where, in Brigadoon-like fashion, visitors can step back in time and participate in an event that happened over two-hundred years ago when Farmer Van Snoodle's flock of turkeys disappeared right before Thanksgiving.

"Sally has created a great family ride for us that really sells our Thanksgiving section. Our guests love it."
                
                
Will Koch, president and general manager, Holiday World

Dark Ride: Gobbler Getaway, Aunt Abigail and her turkey caller

The Game
Aunt Abigail explains that everyone   gets a turkey caller to help round up the missing turkeys, which are hiding everywhere: popping up in the barn, in the cornfields, the hayloft, the stable...even from the well and laundry hanging on a clothesline. Each time a target is hit, a turkey reacts with something silly to say or do and guests watch their scores add up on the in-car scoring console.

Thanksgiving Dinner Surprise: Dark Ride: Gobbler Getaway--an unusual Thanksgiving dinner.
