The pirate-themed ride sees riders immersed in a "part adventure, part competition" narrative, journeying through the fictional "newly-discovered" caverns in Cavern Cars.

Rides use interactive Treasure Collector devices within the "cavern cars" as they go up against treasure hunting ghost pirates in a state-of-the-art journey with lights, sounds, scents, animatronics and more. 

Treasure Hunt: The Ride is a collaboration with experience designers and fabricators Daniels Wood Land, who have created experiences with companies like Disney, Sony and Universal. 

“We are really excited to debut Treasure Hunt: The Ride later this spring,” said Rolf Paegert, CEO of Sally Dark Rides. “This project unites Daniels Wood Land and Sally Dark Rides for the first time, bringing together our shared passion for storytelling and building immersive, interactive environments that entertain guests of all ages."

President of Daniels Wood Land, Ron Daniels, expressed: “The entire Daniels Wood Land crew has passionately partnered with the innovative Sally Dark Rides team to bring this pirate journey to life. Artisans have been working around the clock to craft the perfect environment for the experience."

The attraction will open this spring at 700 Cannery Row in Monterey, California.
