A new laser gun game coming to Orlando's ICON Park is getting mixed reactions on social media.
Bullseye Blast will be added to The Wheel and lets players scan the rooftops of ICON Park to find 50 strategically pre-selected targets. The concept didn't sit well with many online who blasted the new game as "insensitive."ICON Park, located on International Drive, announced plans to add a new game called Bullseye Blast to The Wheel ride, the park's 400-foot tall Ferris wheel.
"As their air-conditioned capsule ascends above Orlando, players scan the rooftops of ICON Park to find 50 strategically pre-selected targets with varying degrees of difficulty," ICON Park described "To get the highest score possible, players need to hit as many of these as possible with their laser blaster during the 18-minute ride."Each of the laser blasters has a scope on it that lets players view an infrared beam that helps them when aiming at the targets.
The concept didn't sit well with many online who blasted the new game as "insensitive" given the mass shootings recently in Uvalde, Texas and at a Buffalo, New York supermarket. "Ahh yes, let’s allow tourists to pretend to snipe at a city that was FOREVER scarred and traumatized by an act of gun violence,"Another commented under a tweet from
"You would think at some point someone in the planning stages looked around and thought ‘Could this be problematic in any way?’ but nah, welcome to 'murica."
