Yoshi Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) The Chicago Shootout looks like it was a lot of fun to play. It's too bad that and no other regular shooting gallery is still at the park. I know there is the small shooting gallery in the arcade in Movietown which is fun, but I'd rather see a full size shooting gallery return to the park.

gasmspiritblue Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I never played a shooting gallery in great adventure but it looks like they were some fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Oh they were lots of fun but sadly not too PC in modern times, especially in NJ. Also it looks like there is a Chevy small block V8 camshaft on the floor in that one picture, those engines weren't made until 1950, too modern.

GAcoaster Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 They didn't close down the shooting galleries because they New Jersey was "too PC". They shut them down because it cost more to run them than they made. In today's world of hyper realistic video games people expect more than cans that pop up on jets of air, and when it takes so much just to maintain the simple effects of a shooting gallery, you just get guest complaints. It just wasn't worth it any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also has Coke and Diet Coke cans as targets too. Diet Coke wasn't introduced until 1982! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I can't located the newspaper article, but the shooting gallery that was added in 2004 was designed by a blind man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I like how the original Chicago Shootout sign featured miniature lights, like all the rest of the attractions in that area at the time. The miniature lightning really made that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
