It considers:

• Traffic flow

• Capacity distribution

• Safety visibility

👉 This is why the project works in real operation.

The project combines:

• Design

• Manufacturing

• Installation guidance

👉 Conclusion:

Success comes from system execution—not equipment alone

Part 2: Scaling Up — 1800㎡ Indoor Playground Strategy

Why 1800㎡ Is a Different Game

Many investors think:

❌ “Just increase size”

Reality:

👉 1800㎡ = business model upgrade

1800㎡ Playground Layout (Dream Garden Concept)

Core Zoning Structure

1. Trampoline Zone (traffic driver)

2. Ninja & Challenge Zone (teens & adults)

3. Soft Play Area (toddlers & families)

4. Interactive/Game Zone

5. Party & Event Rooms

👉 This is the standard global FEC model

What Makes 1800㎡ Profitable

✔ Multi-Revenue Streams

• Tickets

• Membership

• Birthday parties

• Corporate events

• Food & beverage

👉 Key shift:

From selling tickets → to selling experiences

✔ Customer Segmentation

• Kids

• Teenagers

• Parents

👉 Result:

• Higher spending

• Longer visits

✔ Capacity Optimization

Must handle:

• Peak traffic

• Movement between zones

• Safety control

👉 This is where most projects fail.

Critical Risks (Often Ignored)

⚠️ Mixed Safety Categories

Different zones require different standards:

• ASTM International

• European Committee for Standardization

👉 Must be separated for compliance.

⚠️ High-Risk Equipment

• Rope courses

• Climbing walls

👉 May require:

• Higher insurance

• Additional inspection

⚠️ Fire & Evacuation Design

1800㎡ capacity:
👉 250–400 people

Must consider:

• Exit numbers

• Escape routes

• Fire safety systems

👉 This is a major approval factor.

Cost Comparison: 1200㎡ vs 1800㎡

1200㎡ Project

• Entry-level FEC

• Lower risk

1800㎡ Project
