When seasonal amusement parks open their gates, the clock starts ticking. With just a few months to generate peak revenue, every square foot must work hard—and arcade game areas are no exception. That’s where Player One Amusement Group (P1AG) comes in.
We partner with some of North America’s most beloved seasonal entertainment venues, bringing strategy, service, and a smart game mix to family entertainment center (FEC) arcades that need to perform under pressure. Backed by decades of experience, we help our partners design, operate, and optimize arcades that consistently deliver strong returns—especially during tight seasonal windows.
Here’s a closer look at how we help three unforgettable parks make every season count.
Canada’s Wonderland (Vaughan, ON)
Why it’s famous: Canada’s largest amusement park, known for world-class roller coasters like Leviathan and Yukon Striker, sprawling water parks, and immersive themed zones for all ages.
Beyond the coasters and midway games lies a high-energy arcade attraction that delivers serious fun—and serious results. With millions of visitors flooding through the gates each year, every inch of arcade space needs to perform.
P1AG supports Canada’s Wonderland with a strategic arcade game mix tailored for high-volume, high-impact play. One major draw? Guests can find all four exclusive Prize Drop machines—available only through P1AG. These machines aren’t just games—they’re experiences. Each one gives guests a shot at winning exclusive collector’s belts featuring iconic personalities like Hulk Hogan, Georges St-Pierre, Jacques Rougeau, and Adam Copeland.
While the park operates at full scale from spring through fall, a reduced version of the experience returns for WinterFest, a holiday-themed event that draws crowds with lights, entertainment, and indoor attractions—including the arcade. That means the window for arcade performance is tight, but consistent—and P1AG’s arcade operations strategy ensures it delivers year-round.
Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park (Coney Island, NY)
Why it’s famous: Home to the historic Wonder Wheel (a NYC landmark built in 1920), Deno’s is a family-run amusement park on the iconic Coney Island boardwalk—just steps away from the original Nathan’s Famous hot dogs, a New York staple for over a century.
A blend of nostalgia and new energy defines Deno’s, where guests can ride a nearly 100-year-old Ferris wheel and then step into a modern amusement arcade packed with ticket games, claw machines, and digital experiences. In fact, the 35-game arcade is located directly underneath the Wonder Wheel itself—a one-of-a-kind setup that puts prizes, play, and a break from the sun right at the center of the action.
Tourists from around the world and New York locals alike flock to Deno’s during the warm months, with the arcade serving as both a fun retreat and a rainy-day lifesaver. P1AG keeps the arcade aligned with the park’s personality: nostalgic charm mixed with cutting-edge fun. Our strategy includes a wide variety of quick-play games, attention-grabbing cabinets, and seasonal game rotation to keep things fresh and profitable throughout the peak months.
Diggerland USA (West Berlin, NJ)
Why it’s famous: The only construction-themed amusement park in the U.S. where kids and families can operate real excavators, backhoes, and construction equipment in a safe, fun environment.
Diggerland isn’t your typical amusement park—which is exactly why we love working with them. The on-site arcade is a natural extension of the park’s hands-on energy. Kids leave the dig pits and head straight to the arcade game area, where they can win prizes, challenge their friends, and keep the fun going.
P1AG has worked with Diggerland for over 10 years to craft a game floor that complements the brand’s unique theme. Think skill-based redemption games, crane machines loaded with construction-themed prizes, and family-focused attractions. Because the park’s season runs from spring through early fall, the arcade has to perform every single day it’s open—and we ensure that happens with proactive service, smart analytics, and a revenue-share arcade model that keeps capital costs low and ROI high.
