Frontierland Shootin' Arcade is a rifle shooting gallery for big kids, teens and adults at Magic Kingdom theme park. Take your position on Boot Hill (simulates a shootout in Tombstone, Arizona, over Boot Hill in 1850) and test your marksmanship. There are almost 100 targets to shoot at including a jail, hotel, bank and cemetery, plus other pop-up, moving and stationary targets. The targets animate when a hit is recorded.
Don't worry. The rifles at Frontierland Shootin' Arcade do not fire pellets or projectiles of any kind. Instead the rifles use a beam of infrared light. When the infrared light from the rifle hits a sensor in the center of a target, it signals a hit.
The gallery includes a jail, hotel, bank, and cemetery with targets which are animated when shot.
