Posted by The lifting of the regulations governing association with others and leaving home is having long-term consequences as families attempt to return to a life that could be classified as ‘normal’. This normal includes caregivers being provided the opportunity to be parents, rather than a mix of educator, entertainer, and part of an emotional support structure for their young children
The result of the changed circumstances is that Philippino families are in search of entertainment destinations that offer children the opportunity for fun and exercise in a safe and secure environment. This entertainment destination allows younger members of the family to also socialize with their peer group – and that plays an essential part in allowing the maturing child to reach his or her developmental goals.
Parents also need a destination where they can put the concerns of the COVID lifestyle behind them and relax. Covid-19 was particularly hard on parents, not only due to the fact that they were confined to their homes in the company of their children and had to assume even more day-to-day responsibilities. Adding to the stress was the fact that many of these adults needed to adjust their professional lives due to the switch to a work-from-home model.
All of the above have contributed to an increased interest in the entertainment options that are offered at Philippine amusement parks.
This has, in turn, motivated investors in amusement parks and entrepreneurs to carefully evaluate their investment strategy to ensure that the rides their parks offer will bring in increasing numbers of visitors.
Three Evergreen Amusement Park Investments
The owner or manager of an amusement park might be tempted to purchase one of the new, high-tech amusement park rides for sale in the Philippines. However, some research and trend analysis will reveal that the rides that deliver and consistent return on investment are not always those that are the most technologically advanced.
In fact, there are rides that tick all the right boxes when it comes to attracting visitors to the park – especially thsoe all-important family units where the combination of children and caregivers will almost always mean more income for the park.
The following rides have stood the test of time and are still enjoyed by millions of people across the world when they visit amusement parks, these are:
1. The Bumper Car Ride
This ride has been enjoyed for generations. These rides are available in a number of designs and models, and each offers different investment requirements. Seating can include space for an adult and a child – making the rides extremely popular with families.
2. The Carousel
Carousels have been around for hundreds of years, with the first modern (in that case, steam powered) model making its appearance at the 1861 Aylsham Fair in the United Kingdom, revealed by its inventor, Thomas Bradshaw. Carousels for sale in the Philippines remain a popular amusement park ride for young and old – and numerous designs make them ideal when it comes to catering to the specific needs of park visitors.
3. Train Rides
Finding appropriate rides for their younger children can be a challenge for parents. The more ‘adult-themed’ rides are thrilling and get the adrenaline flowing – but they may be too scary for the younger members of the family. Train rides are the perfect way for these young park visitors to share in the excitement of an outing to an amusement park. These trains are also available in trackless models – making the design of new track layouts extremely easy.
Amusement Park owners, management, and investors in the Philippines need to find the right mix when it comes to the rides that they offer Park visitors. What could offer more value than an ‘Evergreen’ ride that has proven itself over generations when it comes to offering a superior return on investment?
