Orlando roasts Icon Park's mass shooting simulator 'Bullseye Blast'

By Alex Galbraith on Sat, Jul 16, 2022 at 9:04 am

Admittedly, it is haunting that we have little to no idea what spurred the worst mass shooting in American history. But it seems that Icon Park took the idea of wanting to get in the head of the Las Vegas shooter a little too seriously with their latest attraction.

The park just announced "Bullseye Blast," an add-on experience to their famous ferris wheel that allows guests to blast targets around the park using laser guns. The guns come with a scope to hit more difficult targets and keep score as you round the wheel. That does sound like fun, in a country where people aren't indiscriminately killed by people with a gun and a high vantage point fairly regularly.

It costs $6 to add on the game, which we doubt is sponsored by UT-Austin. Take a look at some of the reactions the game garnered below

it’s like ICON is just some social experiment to see how much a park can fuck up before being completely shut down. it’s like a @Defunctland fever dream https://t.co/IOA2W1nNmE

ICONPark is right next to Lockhead Martin so at least they know who their target demographic is https://t.co/x4B3XfVmtZ

Things like this are why I have to answer "what is WRONG with you people?" questions here in Australia when they hear my accent. https://t.co/NIbtOcyPa3

It seems “Reading the room” isn’t a core strength of the leadership at ICONPark. https://t.co/e5eJaHK8Q4

Remember that time Icon Park forgot to read the room… https://t.co/2BFJa2tRvj

Listen… the idea and tech behind this concept seems really neat, but the execution is definitely in poor taste. I know we don’t know what these targets will look like yet, but for lack of a better word, this just gives me the ick and it seems very insensitive. https://t.co/1KO3VMQTaC

Lol, this proves that you don’t need to be smart to have a high paying executive job. Some person who makes my yearly salary every two weeks gave this the green light. https://t.co/ve8QhCioyW
