A traditional dunk tank is a popular attraction often seen at fairs, carnivals, and fundraising events. It consists of a large tank filled with water, with a seat perched above it. A participant, usually a volunteer or a well-known figure, sits on the seat. The objective is for players to hit a target with a ball, which triggers the seat to collapse and dunk the person into the water. This activity is both entertaining for the crowd and engaging for participants, as it combines skill and the anticipation of seeing someone get dunked.

The Big Splash Dunker is a modern twist on the classic dunk tank. Instead of using a seat that collapses, this version features a bucket or container of water positioned above the participant. When the target is hit, the container tips or releases, dumping water onto the person below. This variation offers a similar thrill and excitement as the traditional dunk tank but can be more versatile in terms of setup and space requirements. Both attractions are excellent for drawing crowds and providing interactive fun at various events.
