Next September (2009) Mad Ivan’s Scenarios and DFW Adventure Park will host Operation Market Garden. We produce this game as a historical based paintball scenario with a special focus on the tactical situation of Holland in September of 1944. This Game has been growing for the part 5 years now at a steady rate. We expect the game to become the premier annual paintball scenario game for the state of Texas in the next two years.
Our advertising for this event is already in motion and will be a nation wide endeavor. We are within 15 minutes of a DFW International Airport, within 5 minute of 10 hotels and have camping area enough for 800 people. The field is large enough to support 800 to 1,000 players. We feel that this would be a good destination for long distance players to come without to much cost or trouble. We feel that the market potential of this game for 2009 is 400 to 500 players. Most players are middle income, male and between 17 years old and 30 years old. These numbers are based on past games, market and interest shown.
We are looking to add to our event exposure and on site event support with the help of people like you. We feel that this game will be a good place to make connection with the rank and file scenario players. Please let us know if you are willing and able to join in. We would be happy to discuss terms of support and ideas.
