With over 60 years as a manufacturer, operator, builder and supplier to the Family Entertainment Center (FEC) industry, we continually improve our products and services to meet our customers’ needs and expectations. As a leading manufacturer of a wide selection of immersive award winning FEC attractions, we have introduced many innovations that have changed the industry forever.

Family Entertainment Products

Fun and Immersive Attractions Designed to Be Revenue Generators!

Electric Go-Karts

The features, versatility, control and performance of our ThunderVolt Electric Go-Karts will put you laps ahead of the competition. Powered by the award-winning innovative ThunderVolt Electric Operating System, our electric karts provide the most immersive racing experience available to your customers, and the most cost-efficient operation of your track. No other electric go-kart operating system in the world exists that will bring this level of technological sophistication and ease of track operation to your FEC.

Power Up Karting

Using the on-board sound system (built into all Amusement Products’ go-karts), the Power Up Karting operating system gamifies the race experience and makes it a more interactive race. Like popular go-kart video games, a Power Up race lets drivers “win speed” by driving over icons painted on the track. In addition, racers can win Power Up’s that will increase their speed, decrease their opponents’ speed, or give them shields to block them from being slowed down by the competition. At the end of the game, the racer that wins the most speed and loses the least speed will be the high-point winner for the race. The Power Up scoreboard displays racer positions throughout the race and the final positions at the end of the race. Now you can prove to your friends who the best racer is!

Bumper Cars

The winner of the 2008 IAAPA Best New FEC Attraction, Spin Zone bumper cars have been a resounding success for the FEC industry. Typically paying for themselves in less than two years, the reactionary sensors on the Spin Zone bumper cars add competition to this fun attraction. When combined with automated operations, lights, and sound show, these are the highest grossing bumper car arenas anywhere. Running up to 14 hours between charges, the new Spin/Flip bumper car arena is the wildest bumper car arena in the world. It will turn your world upside down!

Championship Miniature Golf

Our 60+ years of experience in the miniature golf business has shown us that the modern course must include water, elevation changes, an element of skill and an element of fun. By combining skill and fun with the Championship System courses, our expertly designed miniature golf courses not only draw your customers in once but keep them coming back! Visit our Championship Miniature Golf website for complete information.

Lazer Fury 360

Lazer Fury 360 is an electric laser attack vehicle that is operator controlled.  An IAAPA Best New Product award winner, the Fury car moves 360 degrees horizontally and vertically around the arena.  While maneuvering around the arena, the driver can shoot at other riders or at targets on the wall and ceiling to score points.

Pitching Machines & Cages

Whether it is the new 48-speed baseball/softball Ultimate Trainer 3020 or the 8-speed Ultimate Trainer 3000, Amusement Products’ pitching machines give you the most diversified batting cage in the world! The versatility of these machines helps you get all types of players in every station, which maximizes profits and reduces the need for more stations or space. A three to five-station cage can do the revenue of cages three times as large with less maintenance and initial cost. We can supply a fully automated, multi-station cage which uses the Range-Pro Retrieval System to reload the machines complete with construction. Check out the Batting Cage page for more options and information.

Take Control of Each Attraction

Decrease Staff Intervention & Increase Safety

ThunderVolt Electric Operating System

The ThunderVolt Operating System was the first to incorporate a sound system on every kart. It starts with a speed appropriate engine noise (like a stock car race engine) to increase the sensation of speed. The ThunderVolt system also includes real time messaging, all in racing terms, to keep racers aware of changes on the track – like a “Green Flag” start, a “Yellow Flag” accident on the track, and a “Checkered Flag” end of race. Many more automated features make a ThunderVolt race the most exciting available and the easiest to operate!

Ride Commander Operating System

The Ride Commander Attraction Operating System is a wireless and programmable control system and has been adapted to operate several of Amusement Products attractions.

Both the main ride controller and the hand-held wireless remote resemble each other for these attractions but have different features to match the unique needs of each attraction.

Zone System

The Zone System addresses problem areas of the track, such as sharp turns, steep downhill grades and pit approach areas. The flexible operations of the Zone System are set in the Ride Control Transmitter and can be adjusted in the future if necessary. Zones may also be added to an area of the track that becomes problematic.

Park & Charge System

No labor, more efficient charging, and longer battery life all result from the addition of this revolutionary and innovative automatic system! The Park & Charge System begins charging the karts just seconds after they are stopped in the pit.

Race Timing System

Check out this powerful solution to boost every go-karting center to a new level! Not just timing, but a complete racing management tool.

Our Services

We Are Here For You From Day One

Our design team at Amusement Products can deliver the layout that fits your space – indoors or outdoors, a single attraction or an entire family entertainment center! From the drawing board to opening day, Amusement Products and Amusement Construction is with you every step of the way to ensure the finished attraction meets or exceeds your expectations.

The project begins with the design phase. We provide site designs for your input as we create them and update you on the status of payments and construction progress throughout the project. Upon completion of the project, we provide training of your staff in the operation of the attraction(s). By supplying the equipment and the construction of the attraction, we can help you get your project started and opened in the best possible way. Learn more about our construction services at amusementconstruction.com

After years of building our own (and designing others’) facilities, we started Amusement Construction Co., Inc. to build the attractions for the equipment we manufacture. Specialized construction techniques are required for all of our attractions, so it is unusual for a contractor that has no experience with FEC construction to build an attraction correctly the first time. This leads to longer than necessary construction time, added expense, delayed openings and numerous other inconveniences.

Our typical construction time for each attraction is two to four weeks for miniature golf courses, three to six weeks for batting cages, and three to six weeks for go-kart tracks. Our contracts show what we include and exclude so you will know your final costs up front. If you decide to change something after construction begins, you will receive a change order to let you know the new costs before we proceed. Learn more about our construction services at amusementconstruction.com

Here at Amusement Products, our Parts Department strives to carry a full line of parts and accessories to meet our customers’ needs. When it comes to the equipment we sell, if we don’t have a part in stock, chances are good that no one else does, either. However, our goal remains the same, to provide you with the correct parts when and where you need them, at the lowest possible price. You can go to FECPartsMart.com to order online or email your orders directly to parts@amusementproducts.com for fast reliable service.

We Want You To Succeed

Education is the KEY to Profitability

The FEC Success Institute is a 2-day seminar conducted twice a year at the Amusement Products manufacturing facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. to teach attendees the methods of starting or adding to a successful Family Entertainment Center (FEC). The longest running educational school for the FEC industry features experienced industry experts sharing their knowledge and insights on subjects such as feasibility, financing, design, construction, insurance and the most innovative attractions available. Attendees not only receive the best education for success, but get to meet and network with the most respected experts in the FEC industry. The FEC Success Institute is the only independent seminar that is an accredited IAAPA certification course. Visit fecsuccess.com for complete details and registration.

Customers who have multiple Amusement Products attractions will find it beneficial to attend this 2-day seminar. We encourage our FEC owners to send both maintenance and operations personnel, and to even attend themselves. “As a 39-year operator, I have found that knowing what is supposed to happen is as important as knowing how to do the maintenance yourself. If you don’t know the correct way to solve an issue, you won’t know that what you are being told by your staff is incorrect and just wasting time.” – Dutch Magrath, President of Amusement Products
