Minick Associates

Minick Associates is a unique design services firm providing planning, design and operations largely to the amusement and entertainment industries. The company also furnishes its services to the lodging, gaming, restaurant and night club industries, although its primary business remains directed toward amusement park projects. Minick Associates has also worked with many single facility owners, both large and small, as well as owners and operators of small chains of facilities little known outside their general location. Often, the planning and design services undertaken by Minick Associates is for the expansion and remodeling of existing facilities - since few new parks are currently being developed in the US. Most new facilities today built from the ground up are being constructed in China and India. Minick Associates became one of the first companies to design what became known as Family Entertainment Centers (FECs) having designed well over one hundred various size facilities including Whimsy in Hong Kong, Frankie’s Fun Park in South Carolina, Play Centers in South America, Nickel Mania, in DFW, The Boardwalk in California and Larz Land in Florida and Texas. While most of the work undertaken by Minick Associates is planned for the United States, the company has undertaken many projects overseas, which include the design of some 28 Whimsy Entertainment Indoor Amusement Centers ranging in size from sf to sf, built in Hong Kong and elsewhere throughout the Pacific Rim; six indoor FECs for the Lido Entertainment Company in Singapore; six indoor FECs for Magic Place in Mexico; three indoor FECs for Magic Place in Indonesia; three Ice Cool amusement parks in Nigeria and Ghana; a combination amusement park & water park in River State, Nigeria; a 400 ft giant wheel in the UK; and several ride concepts for Zierer Manufacturing in Germany.
