    Dunking Machine

    Hey all, I need to come up with a quick and dirty idea for a dunking booth. I need one where the water is dumped on the lucky contestant (rather than the person falling into a pool). I'm thinking of a 5 gal bucket on a hinged platform attached to a tree. The bucket is tipped when the target is hit and dumps the water on the person sitting in a chair below.

    Has anyone seen anything like this?

    Thanks,

    After fooling around with different designs here's what I came up with. Fixture was painted white and the target red with a white bulls eye. Worked great.Capture.jpg

    I hope that you tie that bucket to prevent it from hitting the sitter on their head

    Yeah, 4 bolts attach the bucket to the platform.

  7. You should go with an Angry Birds theme!

    Bungee some loaded angry birds dolls as the projectile! Make the garget a Pig!
