The company is developing a family
activity and entertainment center:
“Wild Willy’s Adventure Zone Dino
Island”. The center is based upon a
proven model found in many resort-
destination markets throughout the
country, i.e. family oriented,
outdoor/indoor activities, fun for all
ages, along with “hot eats” and
“cool treats”. However, unlike any
other, this center will offer a unique
combination of attraction as
described in this presentation.
OKALOOSA ISLAND PROPERTY
Located across the street from the pristine beaches of Okaloosa
Island, the OI Property will feature “Wild Willy’s Adventure Zone
Dino Island”, which is a unique dinosaur themed park,
combining prehistoric elements and modern entertainment.
In 2012 Wild Willy’s proposed to
Okaloosa county to be a $1.5
investment on county property.
Now with over a $7 Million budget,
Wild Willy’s will truly be a
destination attraction.
The center will be equipped with a state of the art
point of sale system. By offering a point redemption
system, the hassle of paying a fee at each venue
will be eliminated. When a patron enters the park
they will have a choice of point packages to
purchase, including value packs. The patron will
receive a barcoded card called the “Wild Card”.
Each attraction will be equipped with scanners to
remove the designated amount of points.
The Wild Card can be recharged and also sold as
party packages, including an entitlement feature.
This allows an individual to purchase customized
packages. For example, a birthday party could
purchase a meal, a ropes course challenge, and a
bungee jump. This would allow each child to
redeem those particular options in a coordinated
effort.
Patrons will still have the option to pay cash or credit
card for any food or retail items in the event they did
not want to participate in any of the attractions.
Wild Willy’s will feature a
60’ tall state of the art
steel ropes course
themed like a “Jurassic
jungle”.
Wild Willy’s will feature a
custom made Dino theme
laser shooting gallery. A
variety of targets will move
if shot by a laser.
Taking the Dino adventure to the course, patrons can play one of two
miniature golf courses. Fully equipped with state of the art animatronic life
like dinosaurs, Hatchling Haven is a 9-hole course geared towards a
younger crowd. It will feature a variety of holes equipped with motion
activated effects such as baby dinosaurs. The Dig Site is an 18-hole course
geared towards children and adults alike. It will feature a dig site theme with
everything from dynamite plungers that can be pressed to create an
explosion in the lagoon to prop jeeps that rev their engines and generate
steam blasts when a ball is picked up from a hole, just to name a few. Also,
custom made artificial dinosaur bones will be placed on a number of greens
as obstacles to complete the Dino theme.
Keeping the Dino theme, Wild Willy’s will
feature a bungee trampoline attraction
fabricated to look like four Pterodactyl
nests. Each pole of the structure will have
a custom made sail with graphics to look
like baby Pterodactyls jumping about.
Wild Willy’s will feature two
giant dinosaur themed
inflatables. The Jurassic Zoo
is an oversized bounce house
with slides that children of all
ages can enjoy.
The Raptor Slide is a 25’ high
slide that those with a little
more need for speed can
experience.
For a little outdoor education and excitement,
patrons will be able to purchase a bag of dirt
with an assortment of fossils. At the Fossil
Find Mining attraction, one will be able to sift
their bag of dirt in a water trough then identify
what they discover with a fossil chart. To
entice patrons, a random selection of bags will
include a prize ranging from a free meal to a
free attraction and on occasion, a $100 prize.
Wild Willy’s will feature custom
made remote control boats
customers can control in the
lagoon.
Wild Willy’s will feature appearances by its very own life size
raptors and raptor wrangler. The show will feature a life
like, life size raptor on a leash along with a professional
“trainer”. The show can be used for entertainment and
education alike. Wild Willy’s also anticipates using the trio
for marketing. Appearances can be made at schools,
churches, malls, parades, etc.
Moving the party indoors, Wild
Willy’s will feature a state of the
art arcade. The arcade will
include 60 of the latest games.
The majority of which, will be
redemption based to encourage
more play time. Customers can
redeem their points earned while
playing for prizes from our
redemption store ranging from
IPads and Xbox’s to t-shirts and
stuffed toys.
Integrated into the arcade, Wild Willy’s will feature a dino
themed laser maze challenge. The challenge is to make
it from one end of the room to another grabbing as many
raptor eggs by hitting a button as you can without
tripping any lasers. If one completes the challenge with
a perfect score they will be awarded a raptor egg
souvenir.
Customers can experience a 4D thrill like no
other. The 4D theater will feature the latest
in 3D video projection adding a forth
dimension of motion with seats that move
with occasional air and water blasts. Seating
as many as 32 people, it will feature 4D films
ranging from dinosaurs to deep water
voyages.
Wild Willy’s will feature a
laser zone like no other.
Rather than the traditional
team play laser tag, the
Lost World Adventure will
be a 4000sf. maze of
prehistoric features and life
like animatronic dinosaurs
and giant insects behind
every corner.
With over 50 targets, the challenge is to
make it through the maze with your torch
and gun and hit as many targets as you
can. At the end of the maze your score is
tallied and points are awarded to your Wild
Card to be used for redemption prizes in
the arcade.
In a later phase, Wild
Willy’s is planning to
feature a family roller
coaster. It will be
something different and
more exciting than
traditional go-carts, and
patrons of all ages will
be able to experience a
rush.
Wild Willy’s will feature quick serve, family friendly,
indoor/outdoor dining. Salvati’s Pizza Factory is a
pizza concept based on a proven quick serve
restaurant model much like other popular quick
serve models such as Panera or Shane’s Rib
Shack. The menu will feature quality brick oven
pizza prepared with the freshest ingredients and
dough and sauce made fresh daily. Adults can
relax while children enjoy a safe family friendly
environment. Simple and quick, but full of flavor,
the model is efficient and convenient.
Wild Willy’s will feature
Yogo Mogos™ self-serve
frozen yogurt. Becoming
very popular over the past
few years, fat-free, self-
serve frozen yogurt is a
superior product that you
don’t need to feel guilty
about after indulging.
Wild Willy’s will feature
a variety of kiosks
called “Outposts”.
These outposts will sell
everything from funnel
cake sticks to quality
retail.
