There's a new treasure hunt awaiting visitors to California's historic Cannery Row.
Treasure Hunt: The Ride is now in soft open (aka "sea trials") in advance of its grand opening in mid-July. Created by Sally Dark Rides and Daniels Wood Land, Treasure Hunt: The Ride is a practical and media-based interactive adventure at 700 Cannery Row in Monterey. Here's a first look at the attraction, via Sally.
Sally Dark Rides' Creative Director Rich Hill introduced us to Treasure Hunt: The Ride at the 2021 IAAPA Expo.
Tickets are available now, at $19.99-24.99 for adults, with discounts for children and seniors, on the the Treasure Hunt website. A $5 upcharge for a "power up token" turns your device from single-shot to rapid-fire, potentially boosting your score on the game. Admission includes a preshow, the "elevator ride" to the sea floor, and the interactive adventure. (I am sure that people will have things to say in the comments about stand-alone attractions and their prices.) I hope to get on this ride next month, so stay tuned for a review.

It's on Cannery Row. It'll do fine. It's just another cash grab amongst other cash grabs.
Looks cool. If I'm in the area, I might try it once... but I doubt you'll get a lot of return visits at that price point. It's interesting to me that they had enough space for this in what looks like a strip mall.

$20 for what they describe on their website as a four-minute ride? To put things in perspective, that's the equivalent of charging $300 an hour for an experience... not even Disney charges quite that much!
