What's included

Multi Ride Wristband on the Coaster Ride

Detailed itinerary

A single ride takes 2 1/2 to 3 mins, with this wristband you can Ride unlimitedly for the day on the one-of-a-kind Roller Coaster! Most people stay for about 2 hours and come back later. This unique shooting gallery coaster is a unique opportunity to be able to tell your friends and family back home that you shot a buffalo while on vacation in South Dakota. Of course, it's a fake fiberglass buffalo, but you don't have to tell them that if you don't want to.
Soar over the herd of over 20 buffalo and shot at over 40 targets throughout the coaster and hit at many targets as you can. It's extremely challenging since you are swinging in the air side to side while trying to aim.
When you get off the coaster you will have a score that tells you how you did. Think you are good enough to make the all-time high score? There is only one way to find out!

The ticket gives access to Fort Hays Dances With Wolves Film Set. Supper and Show Ticket sold separately.
