Adventure Entertainment

Adventure Entertainment Cos. (“AEC”) works with film studio developers, owners, and operators in evaluating stage, digital hub, backlot, and production service opportunities.   Recent studio involvements include Park City (now Utah) Film Studios, Camel Rock Studios,  and Wuxi Studios, as well as new opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa.

We have been involved in operating, design, or consulting to some of cutting-edge guest/shopper offerings in the retail-entertainment industry.   We are often asked in to situations where a client is wants fresh solutions to staging, technologies, and niche customer interests, to generate more footfalls and resonating experiences.

Adventure Entertainment is also about gaming resort concepting, in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Macau, as well as in select U.S. regional markets including tribal casinos.   We’re not gaming experts but we do understand the role that leisure-time entertainment plays in attracting gaming visits, extending length of stay, and encouraging repeat visits.

Outdoor recreation is sometimes the forgotten anchor of out-of-home entertainment, but it is very much part of the great leisure time industry.   We get involved in site selection, feasibility confirmations, and updating recreation offerings to encourage greater participation by core enthusiasts and new adopters.

Something more about Adventure Entertainment, we are involved with “adventure park” projects, including site selection, conceptual design, and operator selection.   Some of these upcoming projects include some of the more extreme sports and recreation activities that are possible with this format.

AEC brings a long experience with themed entertainment and attractions, dating to our principal’s involvement in the design-build-operate of Universal Studios Experience Beijing, our own Donald Bredberg’s helming of Universal Studios’ CityWalk and urban entertainment business unit, and scores of projects since then.   We believe we bring a unique “pragmatic creativity” to our out-of-home entertainment assignments, steeped in feasibility and build-ability issues as well as the creative.

Adventure Entertainment is involved with ideation and design for exhibits that will travel to museums, science centers, shopping malls, and movie theaters.   Some of our work has involved product concepting for “pop-up activations” by film studios and consumer product companies.

About Adventure Entertainment – while it is not a primary part of our business, at the request of clients AEC has taken on event design and production, including the overall producer role.   This has included fashion runway galas, major project groundbreaking and openings, and house show prototyping.

In joint venture with Spectral Creations LLC led by Joe and Linda Camarota, Adventure Entertainment provides specialty products, design, and consulting services to the horror, haunting, and Halloween industry.   Our products in development range from traditional out-of-home horror offerings, to compelling new augmented reality and virtual reality immersions.

We provide a rapid-concepting capability to the project feasibility work of StoneCreek Partners, to enhance an Owner’s capability in team building and setting design objectives.  It is a pre-visualization service similar to how the film industry explores scene filming possibilities for upcoming projects.

Our experience includes branded LBE such as Universal’s CityWalk facilities, fashion-related LBE such as the house show program at Fashion Show Mall Las Vegas and The Zone at Glendale Galleria, film-related activations to accompany film theatrical releases, and active recreation venues such as Adventure Parks and extreme sports resorts.
