History

Originally, the guns shot lead pellets, but were replaced with infra-red light rifles during the summer of 1982, due to the maintenance costs of repainting the targets almost every night. This would use 2,000 gallons of paint a year.[2]

Before September of 2021, it was an upcharge attraction and was only free during the park's Halloween festivities. Guests would previously have to pay $1 USD for 35 shots. However, it is now free for all parks guests to enjoy without separately purchasing admission to.[3]
