Today in Disney History: Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade Opens

On this day in 1985, the world Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade in Frontierland at Disneyland re-opened. Originally opened on July 12, 1957 as the Frontierland Shooting Gallery it was completely rebuilt and became entirely electronic using infared beams. Prior to the renovation the guns fired pellets which were oftentimes dangerous to cast members and guests due to ricochets and the gallery was high maintenance with the targets having to be repainted every night.
