Mad Bazooka is a product from Sega, and produced through their AM4 division. The ride is a modified Dodgems attraction that pits two teams against each other in a shoot-em-up. The cars can run over several foam balls, up to eight per second, and shoot them at their opponents. Guests gain a scorecard as souvenir after the ride finishes.
Completed attractions
Mad Bazooka debuted as one of three newly-produced in-house attractions at Yokohama Joypolis (later Joypolis H. Factory) in July 1994. Five installments have been built altogether - three in Japan, and one each in the United Kingdom and Australia.
One of the installments (very likely the former Yokkaichi Galbo installment) was relocated to Kurashiki Tivoli Park and renamed as "Hell Fighter". By February 2001, it was the only Mad Bazooka installment still in operation, and closed at the end of December 2008 with the park itself.
