Indoor Dodgems

June 10th, 2014 by Theme Production

Firstly - what? Indoor Dodgems ?? What does this mean?! 

Anyone who has done events for a while will know how much Dodgems are
yearned over! They are ever popular, a statement at a private event and will
be packed from the moment they open. 
There are of course so many reasons that you ultimately have to exclude them
from many of the events you'd love to put them into. 
Space is obviously one. The smallest dodgem track is 40feet by 60feet and
this alone precludes them from many venues. Height is also an issue. Any set
of Dodgems can be taken inside but the complicated ceiling required means
that you need a clearance of at least 16ft - bit something your acreage
conference room has. Not least is the complexity and time it takes to set
them up and de rig them. They arrive on an a lorry and take around 8-12
hours to construct 

BUT 

There is a solution! Hurrah I hear you cry...
Indoor Dodgems don't require the overhead connection to be above the cars.
These clever indoor sets only require the specially designed metal track to
power the cars. 
This may seem a small point to you now but the other tremendous advantage
is that the dodgems are clean and just some plastic sheeting placed under
the track to protect the carpet of your venue and these fabulous crowd
pullers can be the star attraction of your event after all.
The pictures attached are of an innovative event we did for our client Coca
Cola where we used the indoor dodgem track as a 'venue' for a video
presentation in the style of a 'drive in movie'. Guests climbed in the cars
whizzed around the track for a few minutes then drew the cars up to watch
the screen for an 8 minute presentation guests then had a 'driving skills
test game' and a final few minutes whizzing around the track. This
presentation sequence was repeated through the event so all delegates
attending the conference got to take part - that's a presentation they're
not going to forget in a hurry!
