hese are great times for the family attractions market, which is growing in all sorts of directions and all sorts of new ways.


With the growth in trampoline parks and climbing walls it can boast two of the most beneficial,


family friendly and health conscious pursuits in the leisure market. It’s an easy sell to parents concerned by talk of a growing crisis in children’s fitness. On the technological front, virtual reality is becoming a serious part of the mix in arcades all


over the world and will only improve its offering to the extent where it will no doubt become the most exciting, must play, part of any amusement facility. Even the old fashioned British pursuit of queuing is presenting an opportunity for canny


attraction operators who are recognising the value of turning everyone’s pet peeve into another chance to add to the entertainment mix or for technology companies to offer solutions that improve people’s experience.


A recent survey by Omnico cited queueing as the chief frustration of most attraction visitors, some 75 per cent in all, and


that’s from UK customers who don’t mind putting up with a bit of it. So the global opportunity for easing such pain is huge. Indeed opportunities are everywhere right now for an industry very much on the up.
