WHAT DOES A TRAMPOLINE PARK OFFER?

SUCCESSFUL TRAMPOLINE PARKS

AirHop, Jump/One, Jump House, Jump Hut, Jump Room or Superfly. Successful indoor trampoline park operators. This, although the offer is often comparable. In addition to the large trampoline area in the center of the respective facility, the so-called main court, there are, correctly enough, numerous attractions. For example, the Wall trampoline offers the possibility to run on the wall. The foam pit allows the free fall into the pit full of foam cubes. The airbag cushions the jump from the freefall slide. Just as from the trapeze or also from the waterfall trampolines. Wipeout promotes dexterity. And in the dodgeball area, the classic dodgeball is virtually reinvented.

RAMPOLINE, NINJA, BOUNCE

The offer of the trampoline parks rightly goes far beyond the actual trampoline jumping. In the bounce area it is all about skill and the possibility of overcoming obstacles in mutual competition. Whoever pushes the buzzer at the finish line first may qualify for Big Bounce on RTL tomorrow. But also skills from the parkour are in demand in the trampoline hall meanwhile. This is where skill, grip, strength and an indomitable will come into play. As a ninja warrior you have to climb the 5 meter high Walkwall. To shimmy on hooks, rings, wheels and recessed grips with one hand. Or simply to prevent falling into the foam pit. A certain amount of sportiness and sufficient stamina are therefore a basic requirement.

Tip 1: Hall trampoline park

THE LOCATION

Not every hall is suitable for a trampoline park. Besides good accessibility by bus and train or even by car, size in an important criterion. Even more important than the available floor space of at least 1,800 square meters is the height of the hall. With a construction of 130cm and an average jumping height of 150cm of an equally average Central European with a height of 175cm, the height of the hall is already almost 5 meters. In order to prevent the jumper from reaching the ceiling too often and to offer attractions with the corresponding thrill, a minimum height of 6.5m is recommended.

If this is given, further aspects such as a fire protection regulations, requirements of the development plan and also future rental or investment costs have to be considered. A qualified inspection with an expert provides information here, as does the possible coordination with Contigo specialists.

Tip 2: Financing trampoline park

INVESTMENT TRAMPOLINE PARK

Should it be a pure trampoline park? Is a separate bounce area planned? Is there perhaps an adjacent ninja course? Or is an additional indoor playground for the smaller visitors planned?

All this ultimately determines the actual equipment of the future park and thus of course the budget. While the classic indoor playground is still realizable for an average of 500 thousand euro, a much larger sum has to be planned for the trampoline park. Depending on the equipment, the future investment can almost easily overcome the magic limit of one million euro.

OFFER TRAMPOLINE HALL

In addition to a coherent selection of future attractions, what counts above all is a comprehensive concept. Everything must be right here in order to be discovered and also to be remembered. What the website promises, the trampoline hall must finally keep. And it’s not just about the possibilities for climbing, jumping and shimmying. What counts here is a consistent brand.

BRAND TRAMPOLINE PARK

After all, this brand is the basis for the selection of equipment, the design of the interior and for the future orientation of the gastronomy. The basis of this brand orientation is the target group. Should the offer appeal to younger visitors? Or is the sporting orientation in the foreground? Should the future address be cool and mysterious? Or are friendly, bright colors important? – These are the first questions to develop colors, design orientations and perhaps also the name of the future trampoline hall. Once this has been defined, the process of designing the hall will continue. Here, in addition to a target group-oriented equipment, the walking paths, the wall paintings and the menu offer are defined. Even the design of the WC doors ultimately plays a role in creating a consistent appearance with brand character.

Besides the successful global player Superfly, numerous other successful trampoline parks speak for themselves. Ninfly, Sprungfrei, JumpNFun, World-of-Jumpers and many more confirm the success of a Contigo concept.
