After you guys are done with this - it just depends on the day whether I can participate - how about an Amazing Race style challenge - this would be a step up from the scavenger hunt concept with actual challenges at various places.  SDC might even want copies of the things we come up with for this type of experience at the park.

I'll add that all park rules MUST be followed at all times while we are contesting.

Maybe instead of a scavenger hunt, you do a "gumball rally"

You have to ride every ride, visit the cave, see every show.  First group to do it wins.
'Course that would involve everyone meeting up, but I say "why not?"

I'm a member of another "fan" site for a defunct park, and each year, they take a poll of several dates, to see when the most members can show up at the site, at the same time.  They usually visit the former park, then all get together at a local eatery & share stories, pictures, souvenirs, etc..  We should do something like that, to have a "live" scavenger hunt, once a year, that would be fun!

I'm still excited about a once a month scavenger hunt, that way those that can't go that often, will still get a shot at the fun.

See what you started tinman! I took initiative to start it up cause I got so excited with the possibilities.
Anything to get me to the park BRING IT ON!!!
I like the idea of attractions that have set times (salloon, GCA, cave tours fudgemaking etc) being attended in the live hunt scenario because anyone can find Terry for a photo most any time of the day, but you need to time it just right to get to the waterfall room on a cave tour + all other things when the cave tours are still being done before a certain time.

I know you guys have been talking about doing a scavenger hunt.  I noticed in this week's (Aug. 17-23) Pathfinder News on page 6 there's a little activity called Edna May's Scavenger Hunt.  Have any of you ever done it before?

It's kind of a silly thing - really for first-timers, and the answers are in the Pathfinder, as well.

I think a scavenger hunt is brilliant, and I wanna play. Lets do this!

1. Picture with Undertaker.
2. Picture in the mandatory Coffin.
3. 5 pink foam balls forming a circle.
4. A lopsided tree.

Just some ideas.....
