Changes
/* History and Attraction Plot */
In 1982, the lead balls that guests shot out of the rifles were replaced with infra-red technology. The reason for the change was twofold. Besides safety concerns, cost was also a factor as cast members would have to re-paint the targets almost on a nightly basis (due to the lead pellets chipping the paint) <ref> http://disney-pal.com/MagicKingdom/frontierland_shootin_arcade.htm </ref>. The only other major change to the attraction came on September 26, 1984 when it was renamed the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade <ref> http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/Sep26.html </ref>. In June 2011, the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade's exterior was refurbished. The attraction reopened in November 2011 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/frontierland-shootin-arcade/news/04nov2011-frontierland-shootin'-arcade-reopens-at-the-magic-kingdom.htm#.TrQylkMZ9TU.twitter </ref>.
On October 1, 2021, the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade became free to play <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/frontierland-shootin-arcade/news/08oct2021-frontierland-shootin-arcade-at-magic-kingdom-switches-to-free-play.htm </ref>. It is unclear how long this change will remain.
