RUMOR: Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade at Magic Kingdom shot down for new DVC Lounge!

Word on Main Street is that the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is closing permanently this summer to make way for a brand-new Disney Vacation Club Member Lounge.

Rumor has it that this summer will see the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade, an opening day attraction in Magic Kingdom fire its last shot!

It is believed the shooting arcade will close at the end of May permanently to make way for a brand-new DVC Members Lounge.

While this is just a rumor, Disney Vacation Club announced back in January that construction on a new Disney Vacation Club Member Lounge would begin in 2024 at Walt Disney World.

Frontierland Shootin' Arcade is an opening day attraction in Walt Disney World, opening on October 1, 1971.

The gallery includes a jail, hotel, bank, and cemetery with a total of 97 targets which are animated when shot.

Originally, the guns in the attraction shot lead pellets, but were replaced with infra-red light rifles in 1982, due to the maintenance costs of repainting the targets almost every night!!

Until September 2021,Frontierland Shootin' Arcade was an upcharge attraction costing $1 for 35 shots. Now the attraction is free play, included with park admission.

Will you miss this opening day attraction if it really does close?
