Noticed that some work had been done on the ride. Some added dry ice which smoke on hitting some targets and a dynamite flare inside a cupboard near the exit.
Long term visitors may be able to advise if these were longstanding repairs now completed or new additions but I've never seen either before.

No theses ain’t new and think it depends on if the fluid was topped up and it also was on a time delay. The dynamite at the end was from the Golden nugget days.

Hopefully this'll bring this thread back to life again, but I recently had around 7 rides on Sheriffs Showdown. It really made me appreciate The ride even more, and I used to hate interactive Dark rides, but I think Sheriffs Showdown is now one of my favourite Dark rides in the country now!!
The ride is still in a good state, albeit not perfect. Some of the effects weren't working, and one was MISSING.
I'm not sure if anyone has ever noticed, but the bucket in the wall near the beginning actually leaks water as an effect, which I think is pretty neat!
The water mill wheel is covered with junk and dust, needs a good clean down there personally.
Some of the bandits in the bbarrels till move, but their targets aren't on.
The toilet block doesn't work, no movement or sound effects either.
The coffin no longer moves to reveal the bandit, nor is there any sound effects.
The chickens on the wagon don't move anymore apart from one. The guy hiding in the wagon with the chicken on his head doesn't work either.
The guy in the rocking chair is now placed on the wagon, but the actual rocking chair itself is missing with the target, sound effect and air tube for it still present and operating.
Smoke no longer bursts out of the hut with the dynamite near the end.
The final broken effect is the guy behind the jail window does fully jump put anymore, so you can't hit the target on him.
Apart from all that, the ride is in a really good and reliable state. A really charming screen and projection-free attraction I wish we had more in this country.
Quick question, does anyone know who did the theming for the ride back when it opened with Apocalypse? I suppose it was done by Space Leisure?

Yeah, that's right. The light and skeleton is still present down there, but everything down there is covered in so much dust that you can barely tell what it is!
Would like to see that back up and running - that dark abyss down there is a bit scary. I hate queueing ontop of it as im always worried i'm going to fall through or something (Even though we wont)

It would be nice if they could. Though I think the facade needs some more details added to it, since it looks a bit 2D-ish now, but when it was Golden Nigget, it had quite a lot of detail on it and looked really nice.
I always loved that main sign with the golden nugget guys on it
Very much popped out and appealing whilst the current facade can be easily missed (almost like the haunting one )

Not sure who did the theming, but I can tell you that it probably went to Theme Park Worldwide after it closed haha.
We was at the park today and my little boy asked the poor host why they don’t show the wheel any more. Because it was dead when we went , he turned everything on to show my boy down below. I never new the wheel used to be supplied with water. I knew that the wheel used to move but this was a nice little experience for little one.

Shame to see the scores still not working, didn't get no bonus
Hard to photograph but the wheel was lit up on Friday
Needs a bit of a clean down there but the wheel and skellington
--
Currently the ride is operating without the screens and scores due to problems with the system however still great fun! You can say you got a bonus and no one can say you didn't
