earlier this year has paused a new sniper-like laser shooting game amid criticism following a recent spate of mass shootings.
In a statement issued Saturday, park officials said that while the ride had been “well-received" by customers, some had questioned whether it was appropriate following mass shootings at a July 4 parade in a Chicago suburb, an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
“The attractions industry has many similar games which use similar shooting devices, so that is what we were limited to when exploring the game. However, we believe that a device can and should be designed which does not offend anyone in the community.
