VALDOSTA, Ga. – Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, Georgia named the winners of its annual Find Our Hearts Scavenger Hunt on Thursday, with a Florida family taking home the grand prize.
Jared Maucher, a U.S. Air Force veteran from Pensacola, participated in the scavenger hunt several times throughout the 2018 season.
“We tried to play the game every time we came to the park,” said Maucher. “We are very surprised and pleasantly shocked.”
Maucher and his family were awarded the grand prize: four Gold Season Passes for the next five years.
“We love coming out there. I have four kids, and they love riding the rides and the water park, and my wife and I love the concerts,” said Maucher.
To play Find Our Hearts, Wild Adventures guests search for hearts placed around the park and mark their findings on a special game card given out near the main entrance.
“Find Out Hearts is just one of the many ways guests can have fun with their families at Wild Adventures,” said Adam Floyd, public relations manager. “We are very excited that Jared and his family are this year’s winners, and we can’t what to see them during our upcoming season.”
The Find Our Hearts Scavenger Hunt resumes March 9 when Wild Adventures opens for the 2019 Season 9 with the debut of Discovery Outpost, the return of Dinosaur Explore, and a season full of special events and concerts.
