Built
as a combined attraction, shop and restroom facility, the Shoot Out
building was constructed to match the western style of the neighboring
Best of the West, Fort and Conestoga Wagon. The building was a simple
box at its core which housed the shooting gallery, restrooms and hat
shop. The decorative aspect of the building was the chunky wooden
columns supporting the wrap around porch roof and board walkways
reminiscent of the old west.
The rest room facilities were designed to service both the crowds of the
Great Arena as well as the Best of the West restaurant which did not
have its own restroom facilities. Despite the best efforts of all the
construction crews working around the clock to get things finished in
time for opening day, July 1st, the western area of the park didn't open
until July 4th. |
