Play Central Station
Overland Park, Kansas
Can a former Discovery Zone (DZ)
site get a new lease on life as an entertainment destination?
AEM helped to make that happen with a new floor plan and interior
that follows a futuristic space station design.
The facility, which is located at the Rosana Square shopping center,
billed itself as "The Funspace" for kids. The new concept added
live video to an indoor kiddie park for children ages eight and
under. Parents were be able to see their children performing and
competing for prizes in a mini-theater. The center also sold high-tech
smart toys and educational games and puzzles.
Other features include radio-controlled car races at the RC Rally
and the Kid Koncierge, where parents could drop off their children
for supervised play in a secure location. Attractions included bumper
cars, a Music Zone of three music based attractions, a family Himalaya
ride, videos, and redemption games.
Without a doubt, AEM brought Play Central Station back from a near
certain future.
House of Kicks
Chicago, Illinois
 |
 |
| The South side of Chicago
eagerly awaited the grand opening of the newest entertainment
facility to hit the streets - House of Kicks. Encompassing more
then 48,000 square feet, HOK served as Chicago's new benchmark
in entertainment. From it's three story roller coaster to battling
bumper cars, with the help of AEM, HOK was the first of its
kind to serve the inner city Chicago marketplace. |
My Place Sunrise, Florida
The 25,000 square-foot facility will
feature special areas for children and adults to do fun things together
and apart. Special childrens' areas were offset by separate adult
areas (bar, upscale food concept, and adult performers such as comedy
stage acts).
Kids can be kids, adults can be adults, and when both sides are
ready they can join together in family-oriented activities, even
making fresh-baked bread together, was the path of thought. A wristband
program was part of the security plan so that no child leaves the
premises without their parents or guardian.
My Place not only incorporated entertainment attractions, but also
offer crafts and other unique activities such as a giant jumping
bed (every kid's dream). The slogan for the facility is: "Welcome
to My Place. Make It Your Place." Rides and games will be parent-and
kid- friendly.
BarCode/Galactic Circus New York City, New York
Situated in revitalized Times Square, the 25,000-square-foot,
multilevel urban entertainment center was the brainchild of Australian
firm Entertainment Development group (EDG), which successfully launched
the concept in Melbourne.
For the North American project, AEM was the lead consultant for
researching, selecting, and purchasing appropriate equipment from
games to motion simulators and from billiards to operational control
systems. AEM also coordinated equipment installation and monitored
operations during the early periods.
The facility was divided into two separate areas: BarCode, a nightclub
concept geared toward the adult market, and Galactic Circus, a family-oriented
area with midway-style games, a well-stocked redemption center,
and much more. Aided by AEM, BarCode/Galactic Circus opened
with very impressive numbers.
Dome On The Range
Swansea, Massachusetts
Considered a leisure golf and entertainment
facility, Dome on the Range included a 62,500-sqare-foot air supported
dome over an indoor driving range with 50 tee, and outdoor range
with 60 tees, and 18 hole golf course, and a 15,000-square -foot
family entertainment center with rides, games, food concessions,
multilevel soft modular play structure, bumper cars, motion simulators,
and an open-air meeting and party area.
Other aspects of the project included a golf pro shop, a 5,000-square-foot
clubhouse, and the Larry Nelson Golf School. The combination of
FEC attractions and golf elements made the facility attractive to
the entire family.
AEM worked on the feasibility study for the project and selected
and budgeted for attractions and support components. AEM is coordinating
construction, equipment installation, staff hiring, and staff training. |
