FOREIGN & DOMESTIC
Big-name entertainment firms from Sega to Sony
to Blockbuster all are dabbling in mega entertain-
ment centers jammed with interactive games and
rides. But Disney's name and deep pockets may
give it a leg up on the flurry of high-tech arcades
that have spring up from Indianapolis to Seattle.

The power of Disney is unmatched in family en-
tertainment but the costs - and risks - are huge.
Estimates are that Disney's five-story, 100,000
square foot Orlando facility could cost up to $30
million. Besides video games, it will include ride
simulators that mimic attractions at Disney theme
parks.

• Wells Gardner
• Masushita
• Nanao

Disney declines to say what it will charge for ad-
mission to play the games, but Disney hopes to
coax consumers to spend up to three hours per
visit.
Directions Also Included For:
Sony, Hitachi, GE & Toshiba
These high-tech family entertainment centers are
expected to emerge into a $1 billion industry. The
ever-evolving technology is in place now to sup-
port these futuristic arcades. Source: USA Today.
