Scare shoot
I have been in touch with David from Scarefactory and have price sheet in front of me. This setup is about $86k. It is designed to be modular so you can build how you want. The setup on the video is designed for the LARGE universal studios type parks. I am working on something in this concept for around $30k. I will keep you informed.

More info
The thing is modular and you can design how you want. The event takes about 2 minutes and the way to make money is number of guns. You can get it with 3-6 guns whatever. The more guns...more revenue. Get group of guys trying to outdo ech other on score and that is how you make money at it. But it still is a large investment. I think it is a great concept because you are gaining revenue from people standing in line bored. It keeps your guests entertained and you can pick up revenue from people who are a captive market. If I can figure out how to cash flow it I will probably buy it. But it will definitely be a scaled down version. If you had the gun and targets and components to make it work you could build your own for a fraction of the cost. I don't know where you get that stuff. I'm not downplaying Scarefactory. They have a ton of work and fabrication in that thing. Lots of animation,controls,facade,etc. But as a business you still need to be able to make it work for your event.

Well worth the asking price
I just have to chime in here. I had a booth near The Scare Factory at IAPPA and I watched this thing in action for a week. I can describe it in one word... AWESOME!!!
There are something like 40+ animatronics in this thing. The level of engineering is stunning (I did not see it break down even once the entire week!). The price is more than fair. There were a number of other companies selling shooting galleries at the show starting at $30K on up to $200K. None of them had anywhere near the amount of movement and action as the SF gallery. Honestly, I don't see how SF can sell it for what they are asking and make any profit.
Now, what I think most are missing is that this is not necessarily a product for a seasonal haunted house. The numbers probably just don't make sense for most seasonal haunts because it will take many years to pay it off. But for venues that run year round with good attendance this would be a huge draw. Seasonal haunts could pull it off if they leverage it year round at fairs and such.
