Adding Haunted House and Corn Maze Attractions To Your Business

By Margaret Henderson


If you were lucky enough to make the HAA show in St. Louis this year, you probably got the chance to see our newest attractions... the Rodeo Spider, "Arachnid Attack" and the new Rodeo Pumpkin!

These are just two of the 56 different ride attachments that can be used on our motion system. The Rodeo Bull is the most popular, however by changing out the ride attachment to a themed ride for a specific holiday time, or for a particular promotion, the Rodeo Bull multiride allows you to maximize the profit potential from your investment.

Galaxy designed these two pieces specifically for the Haunted House and Corn Maze Markets. Since this is a new concept for many of these venues, here are suggestions on how to most profit from the rides.

All Galaxy systems have 6 preset automatic competition programs of varying degree of difficulty & speed, which are linked to two LED clocks. If you run the programs in the same sequence at 8 second increments every rider will experience the same ride. The LED clocks record the time of each & every ride.

Every rider wants know how long they stayed on. Of course some will fall off immediately and others can last much longer. This competition type atmosphere is a guaranteed way of attracting customers to take part in the riding. If you have a group of friends they are all going to try & be the best rider and once the bar is raised there will always be another person who wants to raise it higher.

The best way to get riders hooked is to offer a prize. Galaxy recommends that you offer a gift certificate that can be redeemed at the operator's (or venue) location. A $25-$50 gift certificate gives the customer the perception of something of value, however it the cost will be negligible to the venue. The likelihood is that the customer will come back to your location to use the certificate and spend more!
