Visitors, tourists and guests entering a water park, whether in a hotel or resort, a campsite, a shopping centre or other leisure and tourism facilities, usually find, near the entrance for convenience, changing rooms and lockers where they can leave their clothes and personal belongings. However, in large water parks, these visitors and users demand smaller lockers close to the pools or rest areas. Here they will keep valuable personal belongings safe, including mobile phones, which are becoming increasingly difficult to part with.
Amusement Logic responds to this growing demand, right from the design stage and in coordination with the park’s operational criteria, with various solutions. A first option is the strategic distribution of lockers throughout the park. These are centralised lockers with electricity supply. This offers visitors and users the possibility of charging their mobile phones while they remain in the lockers. In addition, the lockers are opened and closed by means of convenient RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) wristbands. In addition, the design of the lockers is adapted to the theme of the water park.
Another option is to incorporate safety boxes in each hammock, using the AquaVault system, for example. In this way, users have their mobile phones within easy reach at all times. This system also encourages visitors to rent the hammocks in order to take advantage of the additional service of the integrated lockers.
Both options potentially generate a significant economic return, with minimal investment. Many visitors and users will undoubtedly choose to rent a locker, or a hammock with a locker, so that they can safely store their mobile phones.
Amusement Logic works on solutions for water parks, whether they are unique facilities or belong to a hotel or resort, a campsite, a shopping centre or any other leisure and tourism attraction. It offers such solutions in a way that meets the developers’ needs and, at the same time, provides visitors and users with a comfortable and safe experience.
