CATAPULT EXHIBIT



The catapult exhibit features a period catapult, with slight modifications, inside of an interactive theater. Here, guests are encouraged to aim the catapult at simulated targets on a massive projection screen. Aiming will require guests to work together by using the many levers, wheels, and dials for an accurate shot. Once they have dialed in their target, they must release the catapult and wait for the simulated results of their shot. Since the catapult’s aiming system is accurate to the times of the Crusades, guests will learn the difficulties soldiers faced when firing such a weapon.
