To get there, guests must take one of four a jaunty rafts named Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher, Injun Joe, or Huck Finn.

Take Aim at the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade

It wouldn't be the Wild West without a chance to try your hand at a little shootin'. At the Magic Kingdom's Frontierland Shootin' Arcade you can take aim at nearly 100 targets! The arcade is set back in a small courtyard, located inside an open fronted log cabin. The fun, interactive targets evoke the Boot Hill landscape in Tombstone, Arizona. Each target lights up, makes a sound, spins around, and triggers all sorts of action when successfully hit.
