Slick City Action Parks – the world’s first indoor dry-slide and air court park designed for all ages – announces their entrance into Texas with the opening of their third and largest location coming to Katy. Featuring aptly named slides including “Mega Launch”, “The Dragon” and “Cowabunga”, the brand currently has two locations in Denver, CO and St. Louis, MO. The new Katy location is Texas-sized with a whopping 56,000 sq ft of space, featuring 11 dry slides, an acrobat alley (with a zip line, trapeze swing, tumbling air courts), mini go karts and a junior play area with mini slides, soft play areas and a web crawler. Slick City combines proprietary, “We’ve gotta do that!” attractions with an exceptional guest experience to inspire, engage and entertain thrill-seekers of all ages, said company officials. With the out-of-home entertainment market valued at $287.3 Billion in 2022 and estimated to surpass $497.9 Billion by 2031, Slick City has seen incredible demand for their experiential destination. As Katy’s population continues to grow at a steady rate of 6.27% annually, the flourishing area is a perfect match for Slick City as it takes the next step in its national expansion.

“We’re thrilled to be opening our first location in the beautiful Lone Star state,” said Bron Launsby, CEO and Founder of Slick City. “Our first two locations have seen incredible reception in their respective cities and the energy we’ve seen there is perfect for a vibrant city like Katy. We are overjoyed to be bringing the community a new and exciting way to have fun and make memories with friends, family, and loved ones in addition to creating 75+ new job opportunities.”

This new location will be Slick City’s third corporate owned location and will be located at 5000 Katy Mills Circle, Suite 743, Katy, TX 77494, with plans to open in early December. Unlike other out of home entertainment parks, Slick City is truly made for everyone. The brand and its attractions were designed for both the young and young at heart to enjoy while creating new shared experiences with friends and family. Slick City hosts corporate events and adult nights to appeal to grownups, and birthday parties for all ages; the brand has already been named “Best Place for a Kid’s Birthday Party” in St Louis. On top of that, Katy will have special attractions for guests aged three and under with gated areas and seating for parents. This all-ages appeal also powers major brand growth: Slick City plans for rapid expansion in 2024 and beyond, with numerous new locations planned across the US.

Slick City was founded in 2021 by Bron Launsby, an experienced entrepreneur in the trampoline park space and a board member of the International Adventure and Trampoline Parks Association. Launsby started Slick City after partnering with the inventor of Slick Slide, Gary Schmit, to bring a new and exciting concept to the adventure park industry. Schmit developed the original Slick Slide during eight years of R&D, including work with a professor of tribology (the study of friction) who previously worked onboard NASA space stations. The result of those numerous years of dedication is a nearly frictionless slide experience equivalent to a water slide... but without any water! Schmit’s Slick Slide LLC now serves as a vertically integrated manufacturing affiliate with special franchisee pricing that keeps Slick City

opening costs relatively low in the entertainment space, especially for such a unique and proprietary product. For more information about Slick City, visit https://slickcity.com/.
