Bowling Alley Modernization: Flying Modernized 10 Lanes at Bowling Vico in Úbeda (Jaén), upgrading pinsetters, scoring systems, and LED lighting to deliver a modern, immersive bowling experience.
BowlingVico in Úbeda, Jaén, has upgraded to 10 new Flying Classic Standard Bowling lanes, improving gameplay speed, reducing maintenance, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Manager Joaquín Vico reports significant operational improvements and positive feedback from customers, demonstrating how modernization boosts efficiency and experience.
We're continuously transforming entertainment spaces with modern, efficient solutions designed to drive our clients' growth. For this project, we completed a full modernization at BowlingVico, a center with over 20 years of history in Úbeda, Jaén (Spain), by updating its 10 aging Mendes Qubica lanes.
This strategic upgrade replaced a traditional system with our Flying Classic Standard Bowling lanes, powered by next-generation technology that significantly enhances the center's operational performance. Key features include:
• Lower operating costs and reduced maintenance: Maximize efficiency and minimize overhead.
• Ball return in just 15 seconds: Ensures continuous, fast-paced gameplay.
• Compact, reliable structure with a 100% untying rate: Boosts reliability and reduces disruptions.
• Pin retraction and setup in only 10.3 seconds: Speeds up game flow.
• LED touchscreen for easier and more intuitive control: Simplifies lane operation for staff.
These features not only streamline gameplay but also reduce downtime, cut maintenance needs, and significantly elevate the player experience.
This modernization has not only facilitated operations, but it has also immediately improved the customer experience. Joaquín Vico, Manager of the center, highlights this in a brief interview:
• What motivated you to upgrade the lanes?
"The lanes were 24 years old and causing a lot of issues and breakdowns. It was time to make the change."
• What improvements have you noticed since the upgrade?
"100%. It was night and day."
• And how have customers responded?
"Very positively. Even in summer, which is usually our low season, everyone who came left very happy."
• Anything you'd like to highlight about working with our team?
"We're very happy with the work they've done."
This project is another clear example that modernization isn't an expense but a strategic investment in profitability, customer experience, and operational efficiency. Bowling Vico is now a center with a classic soul and cutting-edge technology.
