Frontierland Shootin' Arcade, an attraction in Walt Disney World, simulates a shootout in Tombstone, Arizona, over Boothill in 1850. The gallery includes a jail, hotel, bank, and cemetery with targets which are animated when shot. There are a total of 97 targets in the shooting gallery. Originally, the guns shot lead pellets, but were replaced with infra-red light rifles due to the maintenance costs of repainting the targets almost every night. This would use 2,000 gallons of paint a year. [1]
