Free to play now cuz its on the chopping block?

In before someone somewhere starts a change.org petition before anything is confirmed and thinks it'll actually work.

Happy 50th.

I’m surprised a gun based experience lasted this long. IF it’s going away, a covered seating area would be nice. The parks are constantly pushing snacks and treats and then give you nowhere to eat.
They also need more seating near dole whip.

Refurbished and now on the chopping block.. Typical Disney

 

[Clamman73]

A farewell tour with free admission. Wow what a gift.

why spend a single dollar in refurb money if plan was to close it, what sounds like "permanently" so soon? Very curious.

Ive never done the shooting gallery in DL and dont know if that version is free, but Id def take more covered seating space anywhere. Im pretty excited for Pelicans Landing and its just seating space. Im getting old

Bob told Bob "benches bad".

Maybe they are retheming it - we control frogs and catch flies with their tongues!

This may just be a calendar issue, although the switch to free play is unusual, and now this. Something could very well be happening.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

I don’t think I’ve done anything but walk by it since the 90’s.

Whatever happens, happens.

Last I heard, it was being considered for the chopping block by the new "diversity council" (I forget their actual name). Whether or not something will come of that consideration, or any potential removal recommendation by them, is something else.

My guess is they are gonna turn it on and off to see how much of a draw it is at select dates.

 

[AshaNeOmah]

Can we turn it into 'Western Lazers' and keep it or is Buzz Lightyear next?

Not to mention all the blasting just installed on Millenium Falcon...

Funny, I feel the same way about every single bar on property.

We need a whirl Wild West ride where we can shoot targets right from our ride vehicle

Or they could put a buffalo hunt car on the train......

My boys have played a handful of times, but our local sporting goods mega store has one that is just as good, or better. Then you have Buzz in Tomorrowland if you really want to shoot some stuff at MK.

I’d miss this little diversion, but not as much as a razing of Tom Sawyer Island. As others have said, a covered place to eat the Dole Whip and churros isn’t a horrible idea.
