What To Expect

Fort Hays Old West Town and Dinner Show

Take a ride on the one of a kind Buffalo Hunt Roller Coaster! This unique shooting gallery coaster is a unique opportunity to be able to tell your friends and family back home that you shot a buffalo while on vacation in South Dakota. Of course its a fake fiberglass buffalo, but you don't have to tell them that if you don't want to.... Soar over the herd of over 20 buffalo and shot at over 40 targets through out the coaster and hit at many targets as you can. Its extremely challenging since you are swinging in the air side to side while trying to aim. When you get off the coaster you will have a score that tells you how you did. Think you are good enough to make the all time high score? There is only one way to find out! Ticket give access to Fort Hays Dances With Wolves Film Set. Supper and Show Ticket sold separately.

This was an exhilarating experience. We did the reasonably price unlimited ride option and rode for almost 2 hours. We had two adults aged 40 and two teenagers (13 and 15) and we all loved it. The ride is challenging and was still fun at the end of day as you continually get better at hitting targets. This is one of the funnest rides we've ever done. Staff was also super helpful and entertaining. We then went to the dinner show which was also amazing.

This was a lot more fun - and much more difficult -than I imagined it would be! The ride is exhilarating and then trying to shoot the target with your gun is completely at another level. We got an all day ride ticket at a discount with out Chuckwagon supper ticket so we rode for a couple hours.

Family vacation stop along the way. Great time for the kids (8 & 10), as well some fun for the grown ups. The coaster is not aggressive, but still fun and allows you to make a good competition with each other shooting targets while you ride. Lot more challenging than you think. $25 for unlimited rides. My kids got their money’s worth! Beyond the fun, the staff was incredibly nice. All of them!
