Connect&GO, a leading global provider of integrated technology and RFID solutions for the attractions industry, has entered into a new partnership with Splash Kingdom Family Waterparks to help drive revenue and simplify operations with fully connected technology.
The Konnect integrated management system with RFID will be implemented by the Texas-based waterpark business at four locations by 2024: Canton, Hudson Oaks, Nacogdoches, and Greenville, Texas.
The right partner
Johnny Blevins, the owner and operator of Splash Kingdom, is driven to discover innovative methods to enhance guest satisfaction and boost revenue. Blevins’ first Splash Kingdom Park debuted in 2006 in Canton, Texas, to provide a fun and family-friendly space for nearby families to spend time together. Splash Kingdom has since grown to five locations in Texas and Louisiana.
“Finding the right partner was paramount for us; someone we could grow with, someone who shared our passion for innovation and customer satisfaction,” says Blevins. “With Connect&GO’s cutting-edge technology, we’re not just enhancing revenue streams, we’re transforming our entire guest experience.”
Splash Kingdom will use the fully integrated Konnect attractions management platform, which uses real-time data and patented Virtual Wallet technology to seamlessly integrate RFID, F&B, cashless, point-of-sale, eCommerce, and access control. Konnect gives operators the freedom to manage their systems among several parks, making it simple for season pass holders to visit several locations. This all-encompassing strategy seeks to improve guest convenience, expedite operations, and elevate the waterpark experience as a whole.
“We’re excited to give our guests more flexibility and promote cross-visitation across our different parks. This is a great benefit for our season passholders and something that will help us drive revenue and maximize guest engagement,” adds Blevins.
Tara Morandi, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Connect&GO, says:
“We are thrilled to welcome Splash Kingdom Family Waterparks into our portfolio of innovative partners. Johnny Blevins and his team are committed to continuously raising the bar. By combining our modern technology with their vision and commitment to exceptional family entertainment, we are set to revolutionize the waterpark industry and create unforgettable experiences for their guests.”
Connect&GO recently revealed plans to collaborate with Lightspeed Commerce, a leader in unified payments and point-of-sale (POS) solutions.
