Amusement Products, best known for the ‘Spin Zone’ target where one rider using his car can bump the target on another car and send that car into an un-controlled spin for several seconds, continues to add new innovations to ‘Spin Zone’ bumper cars.
Below is a list of the newest innovations:
- Buddy Seat where small children (3-7 years old) can ride with mom or dad or sister or brother. The Buddy seat can be put in or removed in seconds, returning the car to a single rider format.
- CHAOS MODE where the ride controller takes control of ‘all’ the bumper cars (for a portion of the ride or even the entire ride) and makes them move forward, backward, and spin in rapid moves.The riders laugh and scream while they have a “roller coaster” like thrill ride.
- A Digital DJ that hypes up the ‘Spin Zone’ ride and announces all of the features like the CHAOS MODE.
- The ability to add a wireless “Swipe Card Reader” on each car for complete cash control, reduction in time between rides, and increased repeat riders.
- Solid state motor controller/receiver for decreased maintenance and ease of trouble shooting.
- Solid foam filled tires for no more tire airing.
- Extended battery life is now 16 hours of ride time between charge.

Party Center Software, the leading online party booking software company, is planning the release of their latest feature–Online Waiver System with integrated RSVPs/Evites— that will be released in the next 60-90 days.
PCS’s Armando ‘Mando’ Lanuti reports, ‘The largest sales driver is not just the online booking but the automation and ease of use we have built into the software including customized checklists to ensure things get ordered/done for parties, vendor reports, ability to access our software wherever you are, as well as increased revenue from bookings and add-ons. There are no additional fees for users, terminals, transactions, or reservations like what you find with many other companies. The customer can choose to pay however they wish based on their cash flow, monthly/quarterly/semi-annual/annual/etc. They can access the software from any browser, so it works on computers, phones, tablets, laptops, etc., and they can check on their center even while on vacation or at a tradeshow. In the center they can use any windows based machine between Windows XP and Windows 7. This allows them to utilize the hardware they already likely have or will be purchasing without the need for specialty hardware.’
TRR highly recommends that you go through the free on-line demo of the software. It takes approximately 60 minutes depending on the questions you may have. Once you see all of the features you will fully understand how this software can save hundreds of hours of your staff time and increase the number of parties/events.
