Recreation And Amusement - A Safe Passage for Large Crowds.
Amusement parks exist to create a positive atmosphere for customers looking for a get-away to have fun and enjoy time with friends and family. Each year, millions of visitors enter amusement park gates, looking to experience the best roller coasters, family rides, water slides, concerts, and more.
Security teams at recreation facilities and amusement parks must deal with large crowds, hot temperatures, and, potentially, criminals who increasingly target densely populated areas where an attack can have the greatest impact. Security personnel must remain constantly vigilant for physical security threats to guests, staff, and facilities.
Entry and Exit Security Solutions for Controlling Access
Key to creating a secure amusement park is using an entrance and exit security solution to cope with high visitor flow while controlling access for different staff profiles. Tripod turnstiles and full-height turnstiles can act as a deterrent to unauthorised entrance while effectively controlling crowds in a large or small space. With minimal training, security officers or other amusement park staff can oversee the functioning of the turnstiles. The space efficient turnstiles are built with reliable mechanisms and can be customised to fit the look and feel of the facility.
Another type of recreational activity we enjoy doing during our free time, is visiting museums, cinemas and casino complexes. These public spf welcome large numbers of visitors each day, and the entrance should be able to safely cope with the influx of guests during peak times.
Energy Saving for the First Step Inside
High capacity doors provide the facility owner with substantial energy-savings, by keeping the temperature between the outside and inside environment stable. This is proven to reduce energy bills, when it comes to both heating and cooling in the relevant seasons. Air curtains can also be installed to further add comfort to the visitors entry experience - making them comfotable from the moment they set foot into the door's segment.
Spacious and Comfortable
These doors are available in a wide away of diameters as well as offering the choice between two and three wings. Providing visitors with larger segments would mean a choice of the three-wing revolving door. Recently we have seen a trend towards visitors wanting more personal space in public areas, and a high capacity door does exactly that. People counters can also be integrated in the doors, to further help these recreation venues monitor and control the number of people in the facility at any given time.
Families with children and the elderly are often part of the demographics visiting museums, cinemas and casino complexes, and a high capacity revolving door provides this group of visitors with an option to slow the door down to suit their ability requirements and help them access the entry or exit in a manner they feel safe and comfortable with.
Emergency Egress Compliance
Safety is a priority for all venues who welcome large numbers of people. This is especially true when it comes to having a compliant and effective egress protocol. Boon Edam's high capacity revolving doors are equipped with bookfolding door wings, that create a free passage that can be used as a supplemental emergency exit of a building in addition to dedicated emergency doors. In this book-fold operation, all wings collapse parallel to each other and to the egress direction, creating two openings of equal width - This accommodates pedestrians on each side of the opening.
