The Finnish pioneer in unattended mixed-reality attractions for location-based entertainment, has announced that the 100th ValoArena is being played by guests at amusement industry leader Andretti Indoor Karting and Games’ Katy, Texas location in the US.
The 100th ValoArena was purchased from the IAAPA Expo 2024 (US) show floor by Andretti’s managing partner, Eddie Hamann, who earmarked the attraction for the national brand’s Katy location, outside of Houston, Texas.
“Valo Motion is excited about this milestone because it indicates that we have been able to develop a product that operators feel confident in because they are adding ValoArena to their entertainment offerings,” noted Dr. Raine Kajastila, CEO and Founder of Valo Motion. “We are thrilled that ValoArena is performing so well and that it fits into a range of locations and business models.”
At IAAPA Expo 2024, a new ValoArena debuted that was developed in conjunction with Creative Works, Valo Motion’s manufacturing and distribution partner for the North American market.
“ValoArena has proven to be a workhorse when it comes to throughput and attraction in a venue,” noted Armando Lanuti, President of Creative Works. “The ability to easily see the players smiling and hear them laughing is infectious, immediately drawing attention. The ease of use for the guest to intuitively step in and play makes it great for all ages and we have seen great play numbers from both adult and family-centric venues!”
