By | March 14, 2024

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — TouchTunes Music Company, LLC (“TouchTunes”), North America’s largest in-venue interactive music and entertainment platform, is announcing FunWallet, a cutting-edge cashless mobile payment platform. This industry-first digital payment system will allow users to easily pay for a full range of in-venue amusement machines with their phone.

FunWallet will allow users to pay for in-venue entertainment using credits in the TouchTunes mobile app. The new platform will be enabled at no cost on any Internet-connected machine or payment device. In addition, a low-cost retrofit kit will be available for any machines that are not already connected. These innovations mark a new era for TouchTunes as the company continues to create incredible entertainment experiences for bars and restaurants that bring people together.

“We see this as a huge step forward for the amusement industry as we continue to invest in innovative ways to level up the in-venue amusement experience for consumers, for the bars and restaurants they love, and for our operator partners,” said Ross Honey, CEO of TouchTunes. “Our goal is always to make the in-venue entertainment experience as seamless as possible, so people can focus on what really matters – having fun and connecting.”

TouchTunes will launch FunWallet with Bullshooters from its recent acquisition of Arachnid 360’s leading electronic darts business. In addition, Valley-Dynamo, the number one manufacturer of tabletop games including billiards, and ASK Global Solutions, a provider of cashless payment devices, have also signed up to integrate with FunWallet as their exclusive mobile, cashless payment platform.

“FunWallet provides a unique opportunity to modernize payment systems within our industry, bringing more money to our operators in a more efficient manner,” said Kelye Stites, CEO of Valley-Dynamo. “We are thrilled to be working with TouchTunes to bring this along.”

“The launch of FunWallet is a huge step forward for us from a cost, revenue, and customer experience perspective,” said Chip O’Hara, Owner of Midwest Coin Concepts. “This type of offering shows us that TouchTunes is a true partner that supports our business and future growth.”

FunWallet presents a massive opportunity for operators to grow revenue and save on costs, while consumers can enjoy social gatherings at bars or restaurants with the convenience of mobile payments. FunWallet will become available later this year, starting with the Bullshooter dartboards, and additional devices thereafter.

Massanutten Resort caters to increased demand with new indoor waterpark and hotel

By | March 13, 2024

MASSANUTTEN, Va. — Massanutten Resort, a premier four-season resort located in the heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, today shared updates on the major enhancement of its Indoor WaterPark, along with a planned new-build hotel slated to break ground this Spring. The first phase of an overarching, multi-year master plan that will see Massanutten further diversify its award-winning offerings – including a new 55+ active adult lifestyle community and more – the WaterPark expansion and new hotel are both expected to be completed by early 2026.

“A transformative Master Plan is underway, which will take our current offerings to the next level and redefine the guest experience at Massanutten Resort,” remarked Steve Krohn, president and chief operating officer of the Resorts Companies. “Our commitment to providing unparalleled hospitality experiences remains unwavering, and this expansion underscores our dedication to innovation and guest satisfaction.”

Due to heightened demand at its nationally recognized, award-winning WaterPark, a sprawling indoor/outdoor complex, Massanutten Resort is planning a significant expansion of the Indoor WaterPark. The Indoor WaterPark will expand in two areas: a 6,000-square-foot expansion will connect the new hotel and atrium to the current Indoor WaterPark facilities; on the other side of the current Indoor WaterPark will be a 22,000-square-foot expansion. Two of the marquee attractions that will be introduced there are a three-lane, headfirst mat racing slide that will bring out the competitiveness in friends and families with an added gaming element, as well as a family raft ride with one-of-a-kind light, sound and design features replicating a Cosmic Slide experience. Also new will be an enhanced kiddie area with pools and slides designed specifically for little ones, as well as a large wave pool. An additional array of new attractions including an adult pool, cabanas, a dining terrace with increased food and beverage options and a bar will offer immersive experiences to guests of all ages.

The WaterPark addition will be attached to a new-build 144-room hotel, which will feature flexible accommodations ranging from king and double queen rooms to king bunk rooms and two- and three-bedroom suites. Guestrooms and suites will be thoughtfully themed to cater to the diverse needs of large families and smaller parties alike. The hotel will feature a stunning 6,500-square-foot atrium connected to the WaterPark for seamless guest access, featuring cascading waterfalls, glass walls with views into the Indoor WaterPark, easy control technology and handicap accessible paths. The atrium and hotel public areas will serve as vibrant activity hubs, with a bar and breakfast area overlooking a spacious patio, a board room, a 2,600-square-foot flexible event space that can be divided and a state-of-the-art fitness center equipped with the latest exercise stations and weights.

“We are excited for Massanutten Resort and our community as we all embark on this exciting expansion project,” stated Joel Hensley, District 5 supervisor for the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors. “With the involvement of local contractors, Harmon Construction and Mather Architects, this development not only enhances our region’s tourism appeal but also exemplifies our commitment to fostering economic growth and opportunity within our community.”

The WaterPark expansion and new hotel are designed not only to enhance Massanutten’s offerings, but also help the resort operations team manage capacity – reducing sell-out dates and offering opportunities for larger groups to enjoy quality time together. In an effort to continue creating the optimal guest experience, Massanutten Resort will also be expanding its parking facilities, adding 300 additional spots.

“Announcing phase one of our Master Plan is a moment of excitement and pride for all in the Massanutten community,” said Dice Hammer, chairman and chief executive officer of The Resorts Companies. “Our team puts a relentless focus on innovation and we all share a deep commitment to our guests, owners and community. We’re excited for what the next few years of significant growth will hold.”

VLocker showcases community youth support with donation to Warriors Martial Arts Foundation

By | March 13, 2024

DUNLAP, Tenn. — Amusement industry supplier and the 2022 Golden Ticket Award winner for “Best Innovation,” VLocker has made a donation to support the youth of Tennessee. The company’s $1,000 donation to the Warriors Martial Arts Foundation will aid in travel expenses as local youths compete at an international martial arts tournament.

“The Warriors Martial Arts Foundation is not just about training, it’s about letting kids be kids!” commented VLocker COO Steven Wooley. “From the entire team at VLocker, we extend our heartfelt wishes to all the young individuals in this organization.”

The Warriors Martial Arts Foundation, a non-profit in Dunlap, Tennessee, announced that its students have qualified for the 2024 WKU World Martial Arts Tournament in Rhodes, Greece. The foundation is seeking donations to cover airfare, lodging, meals, team fees, division fees and uniforms.

The group’s students — known as God’s Warriors — have achieved remarkable success, with five becoming Gold Medal Champions. However, financial constraints have prevented some from participating in world events.

“It is important for us to help them realize their worth,” stated Donna Rhodes, president of the Warriors Martial Arts Foundation. “Those who practice martial arts adhere to certain principles: respect for themselves and others, integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit, and self-esteem.”

The Warriors Martial Arts Foundation’s mission is to give children a voice, providing assistance to children who have suffered abuse, neglect, or are victims of domestic violence, drug abuse and low-income families. The group sponsors training in self-defense, situational awareness and how to defend themselves against bullies. Students are taught to stand up for what’s right and not be afraid to speak out.

Anyone can donate to support the group by visiting freefunder.com/campaign/wku-world-championship.

Since the start of the year, the brand has launched three new park locations and has an additional nine units leased and under construction, expanding its presence throughout Alabama, California, Illinois, and Texas.

Theatre & cruise veteran Jeff Moulton to lead Adriondack Studios’ project delivery department

By | March 12, 2024

ARGYLE, N.Y. — Global design, fabrication and project management leader Adirondack Studios (ADKS) has hired theatre and cruise veteran Jeff Moulton as its new VP of Project Delivery.

In this Executive Leadership role, Moulton will serve as one of the studio’s primary client liaisons, ensuring that all ADKS projects reach completion on-time, on-budget and with the level of quality that has become the company’s trademark and standard. He will also help drive ADKS’ overall growth strategy, support Business Development and Marketing activities, implement project management protocols and metrics and streamline operations across the company’s various working groups.

Moulton has worked professionally in the arts and entertainment industry for nearly 20 years. Leveraging his prolific experience in freelance direction, choreography, casting and teaching, Moulton fostered the development of RWS Global’s Theatrical Ventures & Ticketed Experiences division pre-pandemic. He then helped to usher the Tony Award-Winning Eugene O’Neill Theater Center out of their pandemic closure, overseeing special projects, new initiatives, and events.

In 2022, Moulton returned to RWS Global as Director of Client Delivery for their Holland America Line division, leading the department at the height of the cruise line’s unprecedented return to service. During this time, Moulton oversaw a global entertainment operation that cast, trained, costumed and managed hundreds of performers each year across Holland America Line’s global fleet. He also supervised the successful development and debut of 12 new theatrical shows and products in just two years, while simultaneously overseeing dozens of additional productions and hundreds of unique and curated musical programs fleet-wide. Moulton’s leadership efforts helped stabilize the department’s operations, rebuild the shore-side team and increase revenue while simultaneously elevating the guest, talent and client experience. 

According to ADKS President, Michael Blau, Moulton’s extensive experience in driving creative teams, people-focused strategic planning and results-based operational excellence are what made him a natural fit for the role. “For this position, our diverse hiring committee was looking for four things: process knowledge, systems integration experience, empathetic leadership and excellent communication skills. Jeff ticked all of those boxes and then some. I can’t wait to see how he streamlines our client delivery functions while fostering a supportive, collaborative environment for our team. I’m also excited about his experience in the cruise industry as we continue to spread our reach into new markets. Of course, his theatre pedigree fits right in with our company culture. This appointment is an absolute win for ADKS and its future.”

ADKS has already enjoyed several big wins in 2024, with project openings to-date including Level 99 Providence, Meryal Waterpark, Google at St. John’s Terminal, the Pineapple Clock at Atlantis The Royal Dubai, the Hershey Lodge Smokestacks and the Dell Alienware Rejuvenation Pod at SXSW Festival. Upcoming projects include retail outlets, brand destinations, performance venues, opera sets, theme park lands and children’s experiences across the US and around the world.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining the Executive Team at ADKS, especially at this very robust tipping point for both the company and the industry at large. It was very obvious from my first few meetings with Michael and the team that there is tremendous care here in fully supporting their global teams and clients. The incredible quality of the artistry here speaks for itself, but by so highly valuing their people they also drive much higher value in the final product. I’m looking forward to further elevating our production processes, delivering world-class product for guests around the globe, and providing extremely high-touch client relations as ADKS continues to grow into the future.”

Moulton and other members of the Adirondack Studios team will be at TEA INSPIRE Week and the 2024 Thea Awards Gala March 13-16, as well as Seatrade Cruise Global and F&B@Sea April 9-11. To make an appointment, email Clara Rice at crice@adkstudios.com.

LEGO Ferrari Build and Race officially opens at LEGOLAND Florida Resort

By | March 11, 2024

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — LEGOLAND Florida Resort raced into the spring break travel season with the official grand opening of its newest attraction, LEGO Ferrari Build and Race. This hands-on interactive attraction puts guests in the driver’s seat to build race cars entirely out of LEGO bricks and then test them using cutting-edge digital technology and real-life racing scenarios.

“We are thrilled to open this unique attraction for our guests,” said Managing Director, LEGOLAND Parks, North America, Rex Jackson. “LEGO Ferrari Build and Race is unlike any other attraction we have here at LEGOLAND Florida Resort. It celebrates the global popularity of Ferrari and F1 racing while challenging everyone to imagine, build, and race the LEGO Ferrari-themed car of their dreams.”

The attraction’s centerpiece is the world’s only life-size LEGO Ferrari 296 GTS model. Built brick by brick with over 424,000 LEGO elements, it took 1,850 hours to complete. A full LEGOLAND “pit crew,” including a designer, six Master Model Builders and three animators, ensured that every detail matched that of a real Ferrari 296 GTS. The model measures 15 feet long by 7 1/2 feet wide by 4 feet tall and weighs almost two tons. Complete with working headlights, an open driver’s side door, and a roaring engine, the LEGO Ferrari 296 GTS model serves as the welcoming showpiece of the attraction’s “garage,” inviting guests to slide behind the steering wheel and imagine what it would be like to race on an F1 racing team.

“We are happy to strengthen our collaboration with Merlin Entertainments, a key strategic partner for Ferrari, expanding our offering to engage Ferrari fans of all ages,” shared a Ferrari spokesperson. “After the success of the LEGO Ferrari Build and Race attractions at LEGOLAND California Resort, LEGOLAND Billund in Denmark and LEGOLAND Windsor in the UK, we are delighted to open this attraction at LEGOLAND Florida Resort.”

After admiring the model, young racers – and their parents – tap into their creativity in the experience’s three build and test areas. They can build a LEGO Ferrari car and then test it out on a race, jump and engine test track. Each track features different obstacles, challenges, and a chance to clock in the fastest time.

Once guests have fine-tuned their vehicles, they use digital technology to scan their cars and virtually race them around the track. A fully customizable experience, guests can also digitally modify their LEGO car’s engine size, tire specs, power, and aerodynamics, and even add a personalized license plate and colorful stickers.

Guests have three laps to set their fastest time and use touchpads to give their car extra acceleration and the ability to change lanes. All guests are encouraged to join in the fun and cheer on each race as they watch leaderboards that update in real time.

LEGOLAND Florida Resort’s youngest drivers can also get in on pint-sized fun by creating their own designs in the LEGO DUPLO build zone, complete with larger bricks specifically made for smaller hands.

“This attraction furthers our ongoing collaboration and relationship with Ferrari,” Jackson continued. “LEGO Ferrari Build and Race has quickly become a guest favorite at LEGOLAND California Resort and now our guests on the East Coast can design and race LEGO cars again and again.”

The grand opening celebration continues throughout the weekend at LEGOLAND Florida Resort. The Park is distributing commemorative checkered flags to the first 5,000 guests to visit the experience. In addition, there’s an exclusive new ticket offer starting today and valid through June 14. During this period, a child ticket (ages 2-12) for LEGOLAND Florida Resort is priced at just $29 when purchased with at least one full-priced adult ticket in the same transaction.

A new standard in amusement center technology arrives with Intercard’s IQ Devices at Amusement Expo 2024

By | March 11, 2024

ST. LOUIS — At the 2024 Amusement Expo International March 20-21, Intercard will feature its trailblazing iQ readers and kiosks that read QR codes, setting the new standard for unattended amusement center payment technology. iQ devices use built-in scanners to read customer presented QR codes for payment and redemption point collection. This will enable customers to use mobile devices or paper receipts instead of play cards to activate games, reducing costs for route operators and owners of unattended arcades.

“With the iQ platform, customers can purchase or recharge game play and use a mobile device or paper receipt with QR code to play games, collect points and even redeem prizes,” says Scott Sherrod, CEO of Intercard, “all without the help of a center employee. It’s a big step into the future for route operators and owners of unattended arcades.”

At Amusement Expo Intercard will showcase additional innovations including an expanded line of Impulse hybrid readers that take play cards and credit cards and a new iTeller for water parks, trampoline parks and other active attractions that dispenses wristbands.

Visit Intercard in Booth #917 at the Amusement Expo. To schedule a demo of the iQ reader, iTellerPlusXL wristband or other industry leading Intercard product during the show please contact Rob Geiger, North American sales manager at rgeiger@intercardinc.com

ExpectHERinTech: Embed inspires inclusivity for International Women’s Day 2024

By | March 8, 2024

SINGAPORE — Embed, the ultimate cloud-based, cashless solutions provider for the amusement, entertainment, and leisure industries inspires female inclusivity in the tech sector for International Women’s Day 2024. 

Putting an end to gender inequality in our tech sector
“At Embed, we believe in the value of diversity in our talent pool. We have a shared commitment to gender parity at all levels of the organisation because we believe in the boundless intellectual, leadership, cultural, and commercial strength that results from harnessing and realising the talent capital of gender and cultural equality. We take great pride in not only being gender-equal but putting an end to gender inequality in our tech sector,” says Solutions Group CEO Renee Welsh.

According to a Forbes study, technology is an area of continuous growth. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the expansion of areas such as data analytics and robotics, there is an ongoing creation of new tech-based jobs. Women bring unique experiences and perspectives that are instrumental in driving development and innovation to organisations. In fact, female CTOs are expected to have a 1.826 times greater rate for patent registrations than their male counterparts, a research found. As a result, this means women are at the forefront of innovation across industries.

“In Embed’s spirit of innovation and inclusivity, we champion the achievements of women in tech – one of the most heavily male-dominated industries out there,” continues Welsh. “What an amazing experience it is to see how women are flourishing in the tech sector. In our organisation alone, the chief executive leadership team is made up of 50% women – and we are proud that Embed is setting an example of what other companies, large and small, aspire to achieve. This is how we inspire inclusion in the company – by giving equal opportunities to women to rise through the ranks and make a lasting difference for our customers, their guests, and the industry as a whole.”

“It shouldn’t be surprising that Embed is 100% aligned with the United Nations 2024 International Women’s Day platform theme: ‘Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress.’ At Embed, we’re already there! At Embed you should ‘Expect HER in Tech!’” says Sara Paz, CMO at Embed. “A 2023 McKinsey study shows that companies with significant female representation at the top earn up to 50% higher profits and stock performance! Women@Embed are never spectators – they’re an equal part of leading the high-performing teams transforming the industry of fun.” 

Watch Embed’s 2024 International Women’s Day #ExpectHERinTech here.

Celebrating International Women’s Day
To honour the amazing contributions and achievements of women in the industry, Embed gave away exclusive Women@Embed pins during DEAL Expo on 5 to 7 March in Dubai, UAE, and will be doing it again at Amusement Expo – celebrating International Women’s Day with the same gusto from previous years.

Catch the Embed team and the roster of integrated hardware and software solutions such as the Mobile Wallet, STATS, smartTOUCH+ KIOSK+, TOOLKIT suite, and a showcase of game cards and wearable media at Amusement Expo International (20 to 21 March, Las Vegas Convention Center). 

Embed changes the game & celebrates women in tech at DEAL 2024

By | March 7, 2024

DUBAI, U.A.E. — Embed, the ultimate cloud-based, cashless solutions provider for the amusement, entertainment, and leisure industries showcased its game-changing breakthrough innovations at DEAL from 5 to 7 March and celebrated this year’s International Women’s Day.

“We are ecstatic to be back in Dubai for DEAL! It’s been an amazing opportunity to talk to our friends, partners, prospects, and members of the Embed family – our customers – about accelerating their business growth which will affect the industry and region’s entertainment sector as a whole,” says Renee Welsh, CEO at Embed. 

As the MENA region transitions to cashless operations, Embed fronted its Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions like the award-winning Mobile Wallet virtual game card and STATS business intelligence dashboard as a response to the growing consumer demand for safer and faster transactions. “There’s no better time than now to go cashless with the Mobile Wallet,” says Saeed Abdillahi, EMEA Regional Sales Manager. “Staying on a system that simply works will not cut it anymore. If future-proofing the business is the goal, there should be an increase in profitability through return visits – which the Mobile Wallet guarantees thanks to its ease of use, security, and promising metric results that reaches up to a 5x increase in average reload value.”

Speaking further about their SaaS solutions, Embed CMO Sara Paz comments on how a system’s reliability is as crucial as the data centres and tech partners running it: “It’s at times like these, when other cashless players are plagued with data centre issues that result in mass outages amongst their FEC customers during busy weekend hours that Embed’s cutting edge is crystal clear!”

“You can only grow and future-proof your business and the industry if you’re with the best tech partners, and with a data centre partner like Amazon Web Services, Embed does not experience data centre outages,” she continues. “AWS is a critical tech partner we collaborate with to innovate our technology – even recently jointly developing our business intelligence dashboard STATS with them!”

CTO Andy Welsh emphasises why Embed’s mission to convert FECs in the region to cashless is one with confidence: “The Embed system architecture is built to work even during network outages. It’s time to make the switch and upgrade to the Embed system when your current system is letting you and your guests down. We partner with the best, most-respected and world-renown tech players, like AWS (and Apple and Google), so our confidence is anchored in knowing we’re with the best. Hey, if AWS tech is reliable enough for NASA, Formula 1, US Defense, Netflix (with 260-million subscribers), and Facebook (with 3-Billion subscribers), we can guarantee that the Embed family of FECs are in good hands!”
