A Winning Partnership
It all started when my brother and I became inspired to create a new type of indoor amusement park. We imagined a facility filled with inflatable attractions for ALL ages. In July 2019, I stumbled across N-Flatables also known as Cutting Edge Brand, a business dedicated to creating some of the largest and most unique inflatables in the country. For the longest time, I believe inflatables have been regarded as a toddler’s toy found at countless birthday parties. As I looked through the inflatable collection at N-Flatables their amazing selection blew me away and Bounce Empire came into being. Utilizing this new partnership, my brother and I are building an amusement park filled with epic inflatables that will result in one of the largest indoor inflatable facilities in the world.
EPIC Selection
Initially, I was surprised at the number of companies that manufacture large inflatables. For example, there are many Chinese companies that advertise immense inflatable contraptions. After some industry research, however, I quickly found that N-Flatables (Cutting Edge Brand) is in a league of their own. It’s not just the size of the inflatables that allows them to stand out. The high-quality materials, safety, customer service and realistic graphic designs made them the obvious choice for Bounce Empire. Not only do their products look realistic (a difficult feat to pull off at that size) but their safety standards are also some of the best in the industry.
Safety
With some inflatables featuring slides over 20 feet tall, safety becomes one of the biggest considerations when purchasing each new attraction. The American Society for Testing and Materials has an entire section dedicated to inflatables. These standards cover everything from manufacturing, operations, testing, and inspections. To ensure the safety of the users, there are severe consequences if these guidelines are not followed. I was thrilled to discover that the staff of N-Flatables helped to create and write these standards that keep you and your children safe. This collaboration gave me the confidence to know N-Flatables has all the procedures in place to ensure their inflatable attractions are some of the safest in the industry.
Customer Service
When Bounce Empire was just an idea, it was difficult to get any company to take my inquiries seriously. We hadn’t even come up with the “Bounce Empire” name at that point. I was pleasantly surprised with the staff at N-Flatables (Cutting Edge Brand). They immediately stepped in to provide ample information with no guarantee of a sale. Using their architectural software, they helped me layout an entire amusement plan for the facility and discussed electrical and anchoring needs with me in great detail. Bounce Empire is also planning to incorporate a unique restaurant and bar. This will require higher cleanliness standards across the entire facility. N-Flatables came through again and gave us all the necessary information regarding cleaning and maintaining the inflatables.
A Future Soon to Play Out
Only time will tell if Bounce Empire will become a leader in the indoor amusement industry, but our partnership with N-Flatables (Cutting Edge Brand) has certainly brought that dream closer to reality.
