Lazer Frenzy Added to Alley Cats in Arlington, Texas

January 23rd, 2011 No comments

Nov 01, 2010 – The award winning Lazer Frenzy lazer maze has been added to Alley Cats, the popular bowling and family entertainment center in Arlington, Texas.  Each participant is on a mission to navigate through the maze as quickly as possible which gives most everyone a sense that they are a secret agent on a top secret assignment.  This arcade style lazer maze is a hit with young and old alike as it involves both mental and physical agility to weave around several lazer beams as quickly and accurately as possible to obtain a high score.  It’s almost as if placing the player in their own version of the Mission Impossible movie!

Alley Cats Center is no stranger to Creative Works.  Creative Works has had the privilege of working with Brian Smith, owner of the facility, in building their 4,500 square feet space themed laser tag arena in 2006 and then returned in 2009 to enhance the look of the arena to a high tech space adventure.  The team at Alley Cats contacted Creative Works to add the Lazer Frenzy attraction to a space in their arcade that wasn’t producing the revenue needed.  Lazer Frenzy is a great game to add to any arcade as it produces a great return on the investment.  “We’

re extremely excited that we added the Lazer Frenzy attraction to our facility.  Our customers love it and we’re excited to see the revenue stream it adds to our arcade” said Brian Smith, owner of Alley Cats.  “Creative Works was our first choice for a lazer maze as we know they are a reputable company that provides quality attractions and great service.”

Jeff Schilling, founder of Creative Works, worked with Brian and his team in making this attraction a reality at Alley Cats.   “We delivered a quality attraction that will not only increase the arcade revenues, but also create a buzz in the facility,” said Schilling.  “We’re very pleased to install such a great new game in this center.”  Lazer Frenzy won the best new product award for family fun centers by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.  More information can be found on www.lazerfrenzy.com .

Creative Works adds a laser tag arena to a fitness center in Lubbock, Texas called Bodyworks.

an 10, 2011 – Fitness is an integral part of everyone’s life.  Consumers join and frequent fitness centers every day in order to get in shape.  Usually each fitness center has the same basic components to offer consumers:  fitness equipment, classes, weights, a track, and childcare services.  Bodyworks is a fitness center in Lubbock, Texas that decided to think outside of the box regarding what they could offer their customers.  Last month they added a laser tag arena to their facility to spark new interest in their club as well as to outside customers.  This is one of the few laser tag arenas to be located inside a fitness center, but the first to incorporate an immersive atmosphere for a more authentic playing experience.  The end goal was to create a visually stunning environment that would create a buzz about their existing facility and cause people to think differently about the capabilities of a fitness center.  Bodyworks succeeded in doing so through their partnership with Creative Works for designing and building this attraction from the ground up.

Creative Works, the world leader in creating themed laser tag environments, started with a blank slate and customized one of their Jungle Quest style arenas to fit within the area allocated as part of the new center.  “The height of the space allowed for us to design and build one of our steel play structures for the client to ensure their guests had a great multi-level playing experience,”

commented Jeff Schilling, Chief Architect of Experiences for the Theme Team.  It added over 1,200 square feet of additional space to the playing arena giving the players more room to play and the client more opportunities to grow the number of laser tag packs as the need arose.

Upon the final installation of the structure, Creative Works sent their Theme Team down to install all of the Jungle Quest décor for this 4,000 square foot laser tag space.  This adventure style arena included many unique props and effects including:  a 14 foot tall illuminated torch tower with a 3 foot artificial flame serving as a beacon of light throughout the space; oversized old forest logs; twisted vines; colorful species of plants and tree tops; and much more.  The outside perimeter of this space was a feast for the eyes as it was painted to resemble an enchanted forest with 3D perspective and depth.

“It was a great pleasure working with Jeff and his team to transform our place and help educate us on adding laser tag to our mix,” said Pat Rose of Bodyworks.
