3 Point Challenge

3 Point Challenge

Festa Italia, Italy hamlet, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Williamsburg, VA

 

This basketball game is located at the entrance of Festa Italia. I believe it was added in 1999 to accompany Apollo's Chariot. The people on the mural are actual Busch Gardens employees, including park president Carl Lum (holding the N).

 

In this game, players are given 40 seconds on the clock to shoot 12 basketballs: 9 black colored worth one point each and three red white & blue "moneyballs" worth two points each, for a maximum of 15 points. Players who score 4-8 points get a small basketball or stuffed animal, 9-12 get a regular sized basketball, 13-14 get a flag or jersey, and the rare perfect score of 15 get a gaming system.
