Reese’s Xtreme Cup Challenge Techniques
Riders are split into two groups of four (teams "Cho-
colate" and "Peanut Butter"), seated, and given a ride
through a shooting gallery. Targets are placed in large
scenes, often with spinning obstructions placed in front.
Targets light up with yellow lights that disappear when
hit, but these lights will turn orange for a short period,
yielding double points if hit. One popular tactic is to aim
for targets already hit by other players. The shooting
scenes are broken down into three sections. In the final
section, all targets are orange.
Often, stacking will occur, leaving the riders on the
course to continue to shoot while the cars remain sta-
tionary, which prevents cars from bumping into each
other. Unlike a typical dark ride, RXCC’s cars travel on a
track similar to a roller coaster. This cannot be defined as
a coaster (not even as a powered coaster), because there
is no gravity involved with the movement.
When the ride first opened, individual Reese’s cups
(with caramel) were given out at the end of the ride. If a

building which housed the park’s first aid and ride de-
partment offices, as well as a practice skating rink.
