Amusement Products, LLC recently hosted the first of two FEC Success Institute seminars of 2022 on March 8-9. More than 20 registered groups were comprised of those just starting their FEC journey to established family fun centers seeking ways to improve their business and enhance their product offerings.   

According to Dutch Magrath, President of Amusement Products and owner of Sir Goony’s Fun Center in Chattanooga, TN, “If you can learn just one new thing at a seminar, it should make the participation profitable. At the FEC Success Institute, our instructors offer hundreds of proven ideas for success! Our experts share their knowledge freely on how to add attractions and services profitably. Even after operating a park for over 40 years, every seminar I learn about new ways to make my own park more profitable! It is the best seminar for increasing your FEC’s chances for success.”

Experts from every facet of the industry were gathered in one setting to share decades of expertise and experience with attendees on subjects including feasibility, financing, attraction mix, construction, insurance, food and beverage, facility management and much more. Also included in the 2-day seminar was a tour of Amusement Products’ manufacturing facility, hands-on testing of attractions, and seeing firsthand the newest innovative technology from an award-winning FEC supplier.

FEC Success Institute attendee Jason Miller commented, “Meeting, greeting, and talking with the network of professionals was priceless. We highly recommend that anyone getting into the FEC business should definitely attend this 2-day seminar!”

The FEC Success Seminar has conducted educational seminars since 1997, and is a pre-approved course for IAAPA’s certification program. All attendees will be awarded a certificate of completion for 14 credit hours at the conclusion of each seminar to be applied IAAPA certification.
