Generate more revenue from every attraction

Entertainment venues can create significant revenue beyond general admission and standard attraction play. Strategic simulator programming can increase guest spending, extend visit duration, strengthen food and beverage sales, support birthday parties and corporate outings, create premium group packages, and generate repeat business during slower weekday and seasonal periods.

01

Identify underused operating windows

Review weekday mornings, afternoons, shoulder seasons and other low-demand periods that can support parties, corporate outings, leagues, promotions, memberships or reserved group programming.

02

Build the right revenue mix

Combine hourly play with parties, corporate events, group packages, leagues, memberships, tournaments, promotions and food and beverage offers to reduce reliance on a single income source.

03

Test your entertainment revenue model

Model attraction availability, expected utilization, average revenue per booked hour, operating costs and equipment investment before adding or expanding a simulator experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from entertainment venue owners and operators evaluating simulator attractions, venue expansions and equipment upgrades.

Can simulator attractions be added to an existing entertainment venue?
Yes. Depending on available space, ceiling height, customer flow, electrical and network access, and operating goals, a simulator attraction or flexible event area may be viable.

Space requirements vary by simulator type and layout. Ceiling height, attraction width and depth, player clearance, seating, walkways, accessibility and customer flow all matter. During your consultation, we review your dimensions and discuss appropriate configurations.
Can one simulator attraction support multiple revenue uses?
Yes. A well-planned simulator attraction can support walk-in play, birthday parties, leagues, tournaments, corporate outings, private events and premium group packages. The equipment and layout should reflect the activities you expect to host.
How can an entertainment venue increase simulator revenue?
