How To Setup an Aqua Park Operations

Controlling the crowds:

You can use a unique individual bracelet with an implemented timer and sound/light alarm? Etc. It allows you to avoid collecting customers and enforcing them to wait in line. And you could implement a color-coded band to track the periods they have purchased such as one-hour, two-hour half day full day.
However, we have always used the 50-minute play set up. It allows us to clear the park for a 10-minute inspection and, of course, look for any other people who may be in trouble. Swimming Pools operate the same safety check. The participant forced to wait for a few minutes is not a bad thing. It can build the excitement rather than resentment. When they come off, they may rest for the one hour then get in the following hour of play. Maybe it keeps people in your park, there longer. We find it easy to manage the large crowds this way. The second crowd is then getting their life jackets on, at the 40-minute time mark (of the first crowd). They then start getting their instructions at the beginning of their time block. This wait period is to instruct the participants on safety further. Here we can give verbal reminders and instructions to the grouped instead of one on one! When they are waiting, they are getting excited like an amusement ride—building up the anticipation. And with the 50-minute block, they feel they got their money's worth.

How much time to assemble a Mobile Floating Water Park and preparing it for use?

It takes two days for the first set up since you are also installing the anchors and such. After the anchors are in place, you can drag the park out of the water in two hours (no deflation). However, that is only necessary for violent storms to shore it and tie them down. Leaving in the water won't hurt the park for typical storms. Think of all the docks, wooden rafts, and boats left in water, no problems.
If dragging to land, then really deflation should occur, and you use the pumps. That is more time consuming and requires advanced planning. For severe storms where removal is necessary, weather reports give advance notice for us to prepare a deflate. But most wind storms and heavy rains of cold weather, the park can remain in the water. even if one attachment broke, there are more than one per piece, and then pieces are anchored together

What is its total weight and volume (size) per component?

Total weights for each piece are 100lbs, 200lbs for most, and 400lbs-500lbs for the main attractions like the massive slide or large iceberg. The total size of each piece deflated is small, and when rolled up, the smaller one (one pc) can fit onto a wheel barrel. the larger ones 200lbs (one unit) can fit in the trunk of a large car, and the significant slides and icebergs fit 3 or 4 in the back of a pickup truck

How many employees should we hire for maintaining the Mobile Floating Water Park System and customer servicing?

We need a staff of at least 10 persons for a weekend and maybe half that (5) on the weekdays decided on the fact that we use the large park size we mentioned, a 200-person park, most of them need to be qualified lifeguards. The ones that aren't are the shoreline staff. But they should have a first-aid certificate for emergencies. Out of 10, you would have maybe 6 lifeguards on guard with two rotating for breaks and lunches. Another is selling tickets, and another is the life jacket monitor and loudspeaker instructor. These people can relieve each other for washroom breaks. They eat during their break time. Keeping them more relaxed in their duty. You still have the two other lifeguards that can help now and then.

Cost of maintenance per month (year)?

Here's the good thing. Maintenance is low. Take one of your employees for the month; his salary would be your budget. If he only works half the time, then the balance covers some supplies like new ropes, anchor attachments. Repair kits. Anchor stakes for on the beach. You need gas for the water pump to keep running water to the top of the giant slide to keep wet, maybe 10-20 dollars per day! You need some electricity to charge the boat battery and for a few other minor necessities.
Overall, maintenance is low. Use the one employee wage for budgeting purposes to cover the maintenance.

Mobile Floating Water Park System: Period of amortization (depreciation)?

Your floating inflatable water park investment paid for in one season. In a worst-case scenario, paid in two seasons. You have a life span of 4 years under heavy use. Medium use is 6 years. After 6 years we say just replace it! The colors dull after 3-4 years. So, we recommend you add new and exciting stand-alone pieces to keep the excitement level up. Don’t use one park for 5 years. Keep adding a few new pieces every year to create the excitement as people return. Give them something more to get excited over!

List of needed and desirable accessories?

A) Two service boats. A little electric raft type boat for shuttling around the park for supervisor and a small pontoon type boat with a flat deck for using as a work platform and filling station. These can have a gas motor or electric. (Lift a gas-powered generator into the boat. Include the electric pumps to go around and fill them up or rather instead, top-up every morning after a cold night. Now and then, you might notice a unit is a little soft. So, employee will go out and top up)
B) A generator as just mentioned above.
C) a water pump. There are water pump/generators (all in one) units out there, and by adding a 100-200 ft of water hose, you can feed water up to the top of the slide.
D) surfboards or SUB boards for lifeguards to paddle in and out. And can be used for floating stretcher if the participant is injured and needs pulled into shore.
E) Life jackets. Swimming float jackets as used in water parks on land. You need at least 250-350 spits in all different sizes.
F) life jacket racks with shade cover. It can be built of wood or use an inflatable tent. jackets hang up according to sizes,
G) Large inflatable tent for people to rest and gather. About 10 m x 20 m open concept.
H) picnic tables for under the tent 20-30pc
I) sales booth. Wooden or inflatable tent for selling tickets.
J) inflatable arch to mark the water entrance
K) a little bit of plastic fencing for mini barrier on both sides of the arch (just to funnel the crowd accordingly as they gather to hear instructions before entering the water. Also, employees do a visual check of life jackets, upon participant entering the water, to ensure all clasps have been "clicked" properly! Pull aside those improper life jackets for adjustment or jacket replacement!

Is electronic Ticket selling a common practice? Or can unique widgets and gadgets be used or paying through the gates?

It's at best a cash business, however, based on your employee and staff setup, you can set up an electronic payment system for better controls, but this would require a radio system for the internet.
