The Blagoveshchensk City Park on Safari
The City Park in Blago has a ride call Safari. Like an outdoor Buzz Lightyear AstroBlasters, each of the ride vehicles has 2 guns and the object is to shoot the animals in the targets (or in the case of the monkeys the targets next to them).
Each animal has 3 target sensors – one on each side and one in the front. Each animal also has a reaction to the shot. Some scream, some nod their heads, and the monkeys swing on a bar. There is a lion, a cheetah and a triceratops. The cars play songs like the Air Wolf theme song and “it’s a small world.” Score more than 60 points and you win a tablet or a smartphone. We’ve scored 22 points (but 36 on our wedding day!) when we have gone.
When we talked about getting married, we had already ridden the Safari once, but when I asked my wife if she wanted to shoot animals, she was aghast. NO! Why would I even suggest such a thing? I couldn’t figure out what was wrong until I realized that she thought I meant actually shooting animals. When I explained I was talking about the Safari ride, she was okay with it. So we went to the City Park and rode Safari and the Carousel while our photographer took photos.
When we went back recently, the guy remembered who we were and gave us tips – just keep shooting, and you can shoot targets from far away. We’re going to need a lot more practice of we are going to get a prize though.
