Good question!
What do you look for in an amusement ride
supplier?
We would ask you how you look at your supplier; do you see them as a
necessary evil, all being generally the same.
Are they just another vendor who could come or go just as long as you
get your share of the money or are they an integral part of your event
which will have long term positive impacts on you and your community.
Ask yourself: Do we care only about this event or do we care about the
next 10 years and beyond? If your answer is the former you could use just
about anyone to supply rides for you and you could look for the one who
simply gives you the highest percentage. This would give you a good short
term return; however, your long term profits would probably be severely
curtailed, not to mention your reputation in the community. Is one worth
the other?
On the other hand, if your answer is the latter your focus will be
quality first. With this in mind, you will search for a supplier whose
rides you would want to put your children on and one the community would
embrace. People would come to your event knowing they are safe and can
have a great time.
You may not get those high percentages you could elsewhere in the short
run but your long term profits would rise considerably. Through sheer
volume you would see increases not only in ride money but also in food
sales and games. The overall profits of your event would go up. Your
organization esteem in the community would also rise resulting in more
volunteerism and high recognition.
Majestic Midways specializes in this
category. There are several areas where we feel confident we have the
highest quality show around. Those areas are:
AMUSEMENT you’ve seen it everywhere. A ride company comes in and has
one or two real nice rides (maybe new) that they love to show you. What
about the rest? How do they look? We are very proud of how all ours look
and invite anyone to come and see us anytime. We have an extensive
rebuilding program where each one of our rides goes through our
maintenance facility each winter. Three or four rides get complete
overhauls, three or four get major cosmetic jobs and the rest get routine
maintenance safety checks and minor cosmetics. We are intimately familiar
with all of our equipment.
EMPLOYEES we have, without a doubt, the cleanest, best dressed, well
mannered, and safest employees in the industry. Our grooming standards are
very strict. Our employees wear a uniform no other portable company has.
Our shirts are light blue, button down oxford and pants are tan. They are
also trained in etiquette and of course safety.
SUPPORT generators are, without a doubt, the most important piece of
equipment on any Midway but are often overlooked. We have back up
generators in case of power failures. We can be back up and running in two
minutes or less should one go down. We also carry light towers to
illuminate the Midway. Our fleet of trucks is one of our pride and
joys.
Our MANAGEMENT style is a little different than some. We spend a lot of
time on the midway overseeing many details. We don’t go play golf or go to
the movies while the event is running, leaving someone no one knows in
charge. We also like to keep informed and communicate with our sponsors
often.
One thing needs to be made clear at this point. We don’t wine and dine
or do anything unethical for our clients just to keep an event. We are
professionals and want to be judged by the quality of our work. Each of us
in our family has a personal relationship with Jesus the Christ. We
operate our company according to Judeo-Christian values. If you are
uncomfortable with this we understand, and if you want to look for another
show we would be happy to give you names of other reputable shows.
Our basic philosophy is this: to glorify God above all by trying to be
a good example of Christ in us.
All this said we would like anyone interested in possibly booking us to
come see us at any one of our events.
