• Legoland partnering with Save the Children to provide free park access to vulnerable children
• Kevin Williams’ Open and Shut segment covering Genda’s aggressive expansion and new “VSing” concept
• NBA opening a 20,000 sq ft “retailtainment” store combining merchandise with interactive entertainment
• Jersey Jack finally revealing their Harry Potter pinball machine after months of teasing
• Raw Thrills releasing a major update for Godzilla Kaiju Wars VR, expanding from 2 to 6 levels
• Chuck DeMonte sharing four marketing red flags: generalists vs. specialists, poor communication, inadequate reporting, and lack of track record

Join us at upcoming industry events including IAAPA at Morgan’s Wonderland next week and Bowl Expo at the end of the month in DC.
