Pins Mechanical poised to debut 30,000-square-foot ‘barcade’ at SouthSide Works

Among all the games and attractions already installed in the two-level operation of more than 30,000 square feet within the new Box Office redevelopment, is the absence of a slide, that will allow guests to whoosh down from the second level to the first. According to Allen, the slide is almost ready to go into operation. — Troy Allen, founder and CEO of Columbus, Ohio-based Rise Brands, expresses some disappointment at not being able to show off the new carnival slide at his new Pins Mechanical Co. at the SouthSide Works as part of a media tour, held Tuesday.

According to Allen, the slide is almost ready to go into operation.

“I’m excited about this one,” he said of what’s expected to be the latest of the company’s slides.
