Turkey Whirl

Family Ride Mild Thanksgiving

Yes, of course we have a big turkey ride for our Thanksgiving section!

These colorful turkeys are found right across from Gobbler Getaway and next to The Voyage’s lift hill.

Tips for your visit

Ride this spinning ride before you eat, not right after!

When the ride starts, lean in the direction the turkey begins to move, then straighten back up for some good spins!

All turkeys spin at the same rate.

As you board your turkey, have your child sit away from the opening.

Wait till the afternoon to ride, as lines are shortest then.

Check out the ride’s lights during an evening ride.
