Gobbler Getaway: Your Thanksgiving Adventure

Gobbler Getaway takes you on a special mission. You ride through a town called "Autumn Falls." The people who live there are like the first Pilgrims. They need your help to gather turkeys for their Thanksgiving feast!

What is an Interactive Dark Ride?

An interactive dark ride is a special kind of amusement park ride. You sit in a vehicle that moves through a themed area. Along the way, you get to interact with the story. This usually means using a special device to aim at targets. Your actions affect the game and your score.

Your Mission: Gather Turkeys!

On Gobbler Getaway, you get a "turkey caller." This is your special tool for the ride. As your vehicle moves, you will see many turkeys. You use your turkey caller to "tag" them. The more turkeys you tag, the better your score will be!

The Story of Autumn Falls

The ride's story takes place in "Autumn Falls." This town looks a lot like Jamestown, Virginia. The residents are preparing for Thanksgiving. They need lots of turkeys for their big meal. It's up to you to help them find enough birds.

How Do You Score?

Each ride vehicle holds four guests. These vehicles are called "trotters." As you tag turkeys, your score goes up. At the end of the ride, everyone's scores are shown. You can see who in your trotter got the highest score! It's a fun way to compete with your friends or family.
