When this attraction makes its grand entrance, nobody misses it! Flashy banners, special effects, prizes and an energetic game show host! Everybody gets a chance to win at the Traveling Game Show. The game is played by everyone at the same time. The host asks a question and the first one to yell out the correct answer wins a “good luck Mardi Gras necklace.” Why “good luck”? Because if you win three necklaces, they can be traded in for a number on the front of the Traveling Game Show™. Each number is hooked to a sound effect, and the sound tells the host what “valuable prize” you have won. These prizes are lots of fun: bubble soap, airplane gliders, toy cars, jewelry, calculators and more.
