Bullseye Blast will allow riders aboard the wheel’s air-conditioned capsules to scan the rooftops and use interactive laser blasters to hit 50 strategically placed targets with varying degrees of difficulty, ICON Park said this week.

Players must hit as many of the targets as possible with the laser blasters, which are custom-made and equipped with an infrared beam to help aim at the targets.
