This looks like it would be a good time! :applaud:  I live in WI right across the border and would love to try and make it down there.

I used to work at a family fun park for 4 years in high school with an arcade, go-karts, mini golf, etc... They used to have a decent amount of fun games and pinball machines, but when they moved the arcade to a bigger building, they got rid of most of them and got a ton of redemption games.  I went there this summer and their building is 15,000 sqft with 100+ games.  But of those games the only ones that aren't ticket/redemption games are 1 or 2 pins, DDR, a few racing games, maybe a few fighters, shooting games, and there was a pac-man/galaga they had, but was for sale.  But that's the way things go at modern arcades, kids wanna spend 50$ of their parents money on rigged games to get a 2$ stuffed animal the rips apart after a day   :dunno.  So I hope places like this can keep business and grow, because, at least to me, spending a day playing enjoyable fun games and enjoying the time there is 1,000 times better than getting pissed at some ticket game and walking away with a mediocre prize.

ps
It seems most of the links on the are broken or are not working, at least for me.  :angry:

ahofle:

I think it's great that the games span over such a large time period.  Hopefully that will increase the amount of customers they get.

Meany, I'm from the area and I'd love to be there for the grand opening, but I want to confirm the timing... there is nothing on the website that states what time they are opening the doors on Saturday, and they apparently have not set up an answering machine on their phone line, because the phone just keeps ringing.  You say Saturday 12:01am through Sunday night 12:00pm.  I'm pretty sure you reversed your AM's and PM's but I want to be sure... are they really opening at 12:01am on Saturday???  Or do you mean 12:01pm (Noon) on Saturday?

Thanks,

Basically they are opening Midnight Friday night through midnight sunday.  The regular hours will be 10AM -2am

Here is a place in Pittsburgh that seems to have developed a good business model.  They are sort of a Chuck E Cheese but without the show.  It's not the best arcade but its a still some what reminiscent of old days at the mall.

Good luck with the Grand Opening


Blanka:

Are there any pics on the arcade? The site seems to have mostly dead links. Only the game list works here.
