Sally Dark Rides has been acknowledged for two of its newest Dark Rides of The Whispering Pines Haunted Hotel and Treasure Hunt: The Ride

Both rides entered into the top ten new attractions in the United States by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Travel Awards 2024.

Treasure Hunt: The ride was placed third overall in the Best New Attraction category, and Whispering Pines Haunted Hotel, which debuted at Funtown Splashtown USA last August, earned sixth place overall in the Best New Theme Park Attraction category.  

“We are thrilled the readers of USA Today, and theme park fans around the country, love our dark rides as much as we do,” said Lauren Wood Weaver, vice president, marketing and business development, Sally Dark Rides. 

“2023 was a big year for Sally Dark Rides, and our entire industry. To see our dark rides make the final top ten on these two “Best Attractions” lists shows that families from coast to coast responded to our creativity and work. We proudly share this is honour with our incredible partners at Funtown Splashtown and Daniels Wood Land.”  

Twenty nominees in each category were chosen by a panel of experts in this year’s Travel Awards.

“What a way to begin 2024,” Weaver continued. “As we celebrate making the 10Best list – twice! – all of us at Sally continue to move forward with new dark rides for theme park guests around the world.  We can’t wait for everyone to experience our newest attractions later this year.”
