Steve Avery Marco Duarte Nicolas Creis Elevenpark celebrates 10th


anniversary with new attraction Prior to its temporary closure, Budapest based FEC ‘Elevenpark’ celebrated its 10thanniversary with the introduction of Butterfly. Manufactured by Sunkid the new rollercaoster stands out with a top speed of 40km/h and forces of up to 2G. Elevenpark in Budapest is


Hungary’s largest indoor playground with about 150,000 visitors per year. On an area of more than 3,500 m² (nearly 38,000 square feet) it offers pure fun for families with children aged two to 12 years. CEO Stefan Fritsch said: “Our goal


is not only to remain the No. 1 indoor play park in Hungary, but also to actively support children in their motor


development.” Upon the recommendation of a German park operator, Elevenpark was confident that the new Butterfly would not only be an enrichment for the park but also a new highlight. “We know that we have chosen the right attraction” said Stefan – easy to install and simple to operate Sunkid provide great customer service, he said adding that the ride had been a hit with guests. “Together with Stefan Fritsch and


his whole Elevenpark team we are very happy about the great success of the Butterfly and would like to thank our customer and partner for the great feedback”, said Sunkid product manager Georg Dobler.


Magic Memories has announced a new partnership with Beyond theLens! Family Fun to provide guests with what it calls “the ultimate ‘selfie’ experience”. The agreement allows this interactive attraction to manage the high engagement memory making services in-house, powered by Magic Memories’technology platform, product development, technical and customer support. Beyond the Lens!, which has also


recently opened in Branson, Missouri, allows guests to capture the excitement of their visit through Magic Memories’ selfie kiosk experiences. Positioned in interactive exhibit locations, guests can insert themselves into some of the most iconic images from recent history. Guests can easily access the selfies


straight to their mobile phone using the Magic Memories’ mobile platform, MyMemories, and instantly share their experiences with friends and family on social media. To maximise this experience, visitors to the attraction are given the opportunity to purchase VIP tickets which includes unlimited access to their digital content, plus discounts on any printed photo products. “Beyond the Lens! Family Fun is a


unique attraction that focuses on bringing past and present iconic pop


culture moments to life for its audience. With so many fun touch points throughout the attraction, there was a clear opportunity to create an enhanced customer experience through our interactive selfie kiosks,” said Magic Memories’ CEO, Chris Warhurst. He continued: “Our significant


investment in product and technology 14


allowed us to design a completely integrated mobile first experience for all guests. As a result, we are seeing very high participation in the memory making experience. All guests are creating hugely desirable, ‘Instagrammable’ stories which can be viewed and shared instantly via social media.” Robin Turner, owner, Beyond The Lens!


said: “By working closely with Magic Memories, we were able to design a very engaging experience including nine new self-activated selfie kiosks all linked to a mobile platform. Nearly all of our guests are choosing the VIP experience which proves the value guests place on personalising a large selection of engaging content. We have also managed to reduce the amount of staff needed to operate the technology, meaning we are continuing to see a rise in commercial value. Beyond that, our guests now have the opportunity to take control of capturing their own memories of a unique and experiential day out.”
