Themed entertainment complexes pose unique fire protection challenges
involving these key considerations:
High Tech Environment. Themed entertainment complexes rely
on state-of-the-art materials and technology to create an exciting
atmosphere. Computerization, animation, robotics, pyrotechnics and
special effects are techniques employed in a behind-the-scenes approach
to entertainment. Coupled with loud noise, dim lighting, potential
obstructions, mixed use occupancies and multi-lingual occupants,
these facilities present major exiting, smoke control and fire suppression
challenges.

| Constant Change. Each area of a themed entertainment
complex has a short lifespan. Consequently, change is a constant
whether the specific area of the complex involved is a casino,
theme park, restaurant, assembly space or hospitality facility.
This type of evolving environment requires a Master Fire Protection
and Life Safety Plan that can accommodate this change as it
relates to code issues, modeling, system design, installation,
maintenance and employee training.
Unique Protection Requirements. Traditional building
codes seldom meet the unique life safety and security requirements
of a themed entertainment venue. Each one is different and
in most cases, no test data exists. These facilities must
rely on a fire and security engineering team capable of conducting
smoke, egress and fire spread computer models; providing performance-based
design; negotiating alternative approaches with the Authority
Having Jurisdiction; and providing tight supervision of system
installation, commissioning and testing as well as development
of effective inspection and maintenance programs.
