![]() ![]() There is a smaller and shallower dunk tank, similar to the Easy Dunker. Whereas the original chassis had a platform flush to the seat on both sides, for the Easy Dunker 2 on one side the platform is lower, nearly flush to the top of the tank, forming a step that makes it easier to get onto the seat. This newer model is similar in all aspects to the original, though there have been a few modifications. Twister Display has since released an updated version of their dunk tank, called Easy Dunker 2. ![]() The seat-target mechanism, usually a vise grip that holds the seat in place by clamping down on a metal ring at the rear underside of the seat, and which is welded to the chassis so that the target shaft trips it when hit, must be reset afterwards, and the victim climbs back onto the seat using a molded step at the bottom rear of the tank and the chain-link enclosure and chassis for leverage. When the target is hit, the seat becomes disengaged from the chassis, tipping the victim into the tank. The person to be dunked climbs onto the seat via a ladder on the side of the dunk tank, and is protected by a chain-link fence enclosure while waiting to be dunked. Behind the target is a plastic tarp with a metal frame to stop balls which miss the target itself. To the side of the tank is the target, a circle approximately one foot in diameter. Often there is a clear plastic window on the front of the tank so that the victim can be seen underwater. It consists of a plastic tank, approximately four feet deep, and a plastic seat, around which is a plastic chassis which can be towed by a vehicle with a trailer hitch. The Easy Dunker, manufactured by Twister Display, is likely the most common rentable dunk tank on the US market. When the target is struck, the seat becomes un-latched, thus dropping the victim into the tank. ![]() The seat is latched in an upright position. Usually, there is fence-like protector around the seat, which is used to protect the person sitting on the seat from being injured by stray balls missing the target. Others are made entirely of metal, and some are made of wood. Most consist of a plastic tank and seat, with a metal support frame. There are many types and brands of dunk tanks commercially available. ![]()
