Walt Disney World plans to shut down an attraction that’s been in operation as long as the Magic Kingdom has been open.

The Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, a Old West-themed activity featuring infrared rifles, will close this month. Its final day of operation will be June 23, Disney confirmed Thursday.

A Disney Vacation Club lounge will take over the space, which is lodged in a tucked-away stretch between the theme park’s Diamond Horseshoe and Country Bear Jamboree attraction. It will have décor “inspired by the bygone ear of exploration and adventure,” a news release from DVC says. No opening date was available Thursday.

It will be the first DVC lounge at Magic Kingdom. There are also lounges in the Imagination Pavilion at Epcot and atop Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

At Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, visitors take aim at dozens of mostly stationary targets such as tombstones, vultures and gravedigger shovels.  The activity has been free of charge since 2021. The guns originally shot lead pellets, but the attraction switched to infrared-light rifles in the early 1980s.

The closure comes as other Frontierland attractions are reopening. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the remodeled Splash Mountain ride, opens to the public June 28. A revised and renamed Country Bear Musical Jamboree rejoins the lineup July 17.

Magic Kingdom attractions from 1971, the year of the park’s opening, that are still in operation include Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Hall of Presidents, “it’s a small world,” Mad Tea Party, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, Swiss Family Treehouse, Tomorrowland Speedway, Peter Pan’s Flight, Liberty Square Riverboat, Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room and Walt Disney World Railroad.
