[FAQ] Does A Theme For My Arcade Matter?

Okay, you just started your arcade, or you are just setting an arcade with multiple types via a 100% recycled shopping mall. You are just brainstorming a primary theme what you are preferring to set. You are picking out machines that will be included for your customers to play games, ride rides, have lunch/dinner, or even host gaming nights.

A Merry-Go-Round/Carousel Ride Is NOT Just For Little Children… Adults Can Ride It (without children) Too!

Tired of a ride operator asking if you have kids when trying to ride this merry-go-round-carousel? Most likely a ride operator/administrator is violating your civil rights, and other rights. A merry-go-round (or carousel) can be ridden by adults and choose animals to ride,–all without needing to have children around. There’s is a purpose of having a large merry-go-round over a small merry-go-round, even if you have it designed like a children’s merry-go-round with fun characters to ride can pay for itself overtime when pricing is strategic. Typically, adults pay more for this ride… while children pay less for a ride.

Also, a merry-go-round can only have adult riders when children aren’t relevant. A children’s ride should be a genre of choice for any adult rider of this ride,–as long there’s a larger version with same features, but more features added. For this instance; you are a member of an amusement club that has series of merry-go-rounds with VR capabilities, and an ability to play games without needing to have children with you. It’s okay to run a merry-go-round and have adult riders because, you can make more money, and profits can build up overtime. Although; some carousel rides have genres associated with them like adventure, and fantasy.
