Guest article by Jim Kessler, Founder/CEO of Lasertron’s Block Party Entertainment Center.

Why are many FEC attractions so mediocre?

Reader discretion advised: The contents of this article will most definitely ruffle a few feathers.

Those who know me realize that I am very passionate about our industry and especially the attractions side of the business. The number one problem I see with our industry is that we continue to allow mediocre attractions to exist. What’s most disturbing is that mediocre attractions far exceed the number of great ones. The large number of mediocre attractions adversely affects our entire industry.
