The bustling atmosphere of Genting SkyWorlds’ Gohtong Way event, which kicked off on 22nd July, reached new heights of excitement with the recent addition of 2 pop-up game booths for Pyramid Smash and Lobster Pot on 30th August. As part of the event, these pop-up game booths from HBL have become a permanent fixture within the theme park, adding an extra layer of fun for park visitors.

Visitors to the Gohtong Way event can also enjoy a wide range of skill games, including Ring Toss, Spill the Milk, Spin the Wheel, Rebound and Lobster Pot at the Genting SkyWorlds’ arcade area. This expansion grants visitors access to an even wider array of entertainment choices.

What makes this addition even more special is the collaborative effort that went into its creation. Our teams from Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam came together to bring these pop-up game booths to life and ensure the success of the project.

As the host country, Malaysia played a crucial role in finalising the theming design for the pop-up game booths. With the visuals and graphics created by the team in the Philippines, the Singapore and Vietnam teams were then able to work together to refine the details and design of the pop-up game booths. The teams ensured that the games were not only fun but also visually captivating. Vietnam took charge of the entire unit fabrication and once the booths were ready, they were shipped to Malaysia, where the local team took charge of the setup, prize displays, and operations.

The creation of these stunning pop-up game booths was a collaborative effort that showcased teamwork and cross-border cooperation. With each country taking on specific roles from planning all the way to execution, this project’s success demonstrates how teams from different regions can work together effectively to turn an idea into reality.

In 2022, HBL embarked on an exhilarating journey of expansion by partnering with Six Flags theme parks in the USA. What started as a trial run at Six Flags over Georgia turned into a resounding success, leading to an extraordinary opportunity for HBL to take on the challenge of enhancing the skill games operation at the remaining 12 Six Flags locations.

HBL’s initial collaboration with Six Flags over Georgia set the stage for a groundbreaking partnership. In 2022, HBL’s skill games operation breathed new life into the park, resulting in a remarkable three-fold increase in revenue compared to the previous year. The trial’s success marked the beginning of a significant partnership with one of the largest theme park chains in the USA.

HBL’s Expansion into All 13 Six Flags Theme Parks

Following the outstanding results at Six Flags over Georgia, Six Flags recognised the potential of HBL’s skill games operation and offered us the opportunity to expand across the entire Six Flags theme parks in the USA.

In January 2023, HBL’s skill games operation opened in four major Six Flags theme parks: Fiesta Texas, Six Flags over Texas, Magic Mountain, and Discovery Kingdom just days after Six Flags ended their 2022 operating season. Despite the challenges, HBL’s dedicated teams rose to the occasion and successfully opened even more skill games operations at the remaining 8 seasonal parks in time for the start of a new operating season.

One of HBL’s standout contributions to the Six Flags skill games experience was the introduction of our game Colors, more commonly known as Goblet Toss. Installed in 11 different Six Flags locations, this skill game quickly won the hearts of visitors and became an instant crowd favourite, delivering results beyond expectations.

HBL’s expansion into Six Flags theme parks across the USA was a monumental journey for the company. From the successful trial at Six Flags over Georgia to the seamless integration into all 13 locations, HBL is proud to elevate the current games lineup at Six Flags to meet and exceed the standards that define our brand. As HBL continues its unwavering commitment to delivering world-class skill games experiences, visitors to Six Flags can now enjoy a brand new level of excitement and fun.
