Frontierland Shootin' Arcade was an attraction in Walt Disney World which simulates a shootout in Tombstone, Arizona, over Boot Hill in 1850.[1] The gallery included a jail, hotel, bank, and cemetery with a total of 97 targets which are animated when shot. After over 50 years of operation, it was closed in 2024.

There are similar versions at Disneyland in Anaheim, California under the name Frontierland Shootin' Exposition, Tokyo Disneyland under the name Westernland Shootin' Gallery, and Disneyland Park (Paris) under the name Rustler Roundup Shootin' Gallery.

History

[edit]

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. From September 2021 to its closure in 2024, it was free for all parks guests to enjoy without separately purchasing admission to.[3]

On June 13, 2024, Walt Disney World Resort announced that Magic Kingdom version of Frontierland Shootin' Arcade attraction would permanently close on June 23, 2024 to make way for a new Disney Vacation Club Member lounge, which will be inspired by exploration and adventure at Magic Kingdom.[4]
