Noah’s Ark to be Centerpiece of New FEC From Adventure Golf Services
Traverse City, MI, USA — Adventure Golf Services returns to owning and operating highly themed family entertainment centers with the launch of Noah’s Adventure P-Ark. The entertainment complex designed for not only domestic and wild animals, but for exciting family fun includes an elevated go kart track and large game room according to Scott Lundmark, president.
“Noah’s Adventurer, a 100’ long by 40’ wide three-deck cruise ship anchors Noah’s P-Ark and is the brainchild of my father Arne Lundmark, CEO and chief designer,” states Scott. “The ship is part of two interactive, ADA compliant miniature golf courses, and features twelve golf holes themed around various cruise ship activities, for critters”
“Scheduled for launch in 2014, Noah’s P-Ark Traverse City is the first location selected for what will be a chain of family entertainment centers based on the Noah’s P-Ark theme, all of which will provide a full range of indoor and outdoor entertainment customized to each market,” says Scott.
To launch and develop the international chain of entertainment centers the Lundmarks have joined with past IAAPA Chairman Bob Masterson, the former President of Ripley Entertainment, who will assist with operations, development and site selection.
Scott Lundmark views Noah’s as an ideal anchor for large residential or tourist market entertainment centers, or as free standing miniature golf courses. “We also believe this is the ideal vehicle for Zoos to generate interest in specific animals, sell more souvenirs, increase per capita spending and length of stay:” comments Lundmark.
