So, what type of bull riding should a company choose for their FEC? It just depends on what type of center they have. If it’s an Indoor Fun Center designed mainly for the children, try either a Soft Foam Safety Head Bull or Angus McRodeo.  Although the younger kids love an Angus McRodeo Bull, it’s basically meant for kids under 5 so if you’re crowd is made up of older kids too, the Soft Foam Safety Head Bull will probably work best.

The Soft Head Bull is unique as the heads can be changed out to keep it fresh and different every week. You can even see how popular one bull head is to another to bring in business. There are three heads to choose from: Macho, Crazy Cow, and the regular head. How the heads are made is using a material called Sofolex. This is soft foam that will eliminate any injuries. These heads has LED eyes that flash and they can be bolted to the body of the bull to change out. They look very real.

The Deluxe Mechanical Bull Riding Machine has a blow up western corral theme, with a blower, using the Macho Bull design. When the rope is grabbed by the rider the bull is activated. When the rider falls off the bull, then the rope is released. The bull will stop automatically. The bull will have a real bucking and spinning motion with real looking flashing eyes. There is a wooden crate to complete the western theme, which houses the console. There are two LED clocks, six automatic pre-set programs, a Joystick, and a LED display.

For total family fun at a Family Entertainment Center you must try the Premium Mechanical Bull. This is a very real western setting as an inflatable. It’s bright with the green grass for the bottom and a yellow fence. There is even a LED scoreboard that shows the rider’s time and the best time of the day. The console looks like a wooden crate. The bull comes with an Automatic Stop Sensor for safety. The bull’s head is soft foam for safety. There are two styles to choose from, a Macho or Regular Bull. This will bring a crowd of people in just to watch and entertain while other people will do their best to best the bull!

The FEC business, as we all know, is extremely competitive.  The only way to stay at the top is to change your equipment frequently.  That’s where the mechanical bull comes in.  If you purchase a mechanical bull multi ride unit, you’ll be able to offer all types of rides, with simple attachment changes.  How about a surf machine, mechanical football ride, or even a mechanical reindeer.

If you want your business to grow and keep your customers coming back again and again…think Mechanical Bull!

The annual IAAPA trade show was back in Orlando, Florida, which will be home for the next five years. There were many old faces there as well as new ones; but one of the favorite companies was Galaxy America – The Rodeo Bull Company. This was their 12th year in succession exhibiting at the amusement industries premier trade show.

Celebrating their 20th anniversary in manufacturing mechanical bulls they had an impressive booth covering 120 sq feet of floor space; Galaxy have always had a full working model of their products on their booth. Mike Whincup (their design Director) explained “customers want to see what they are buying; you don’t walk in to a car dealer & see the engine stuck on top of a couple of wheels! I don’t quite understand companies who bring half a product & expect the customer get the full picture?” He went on to explain “customers want to see it, touch it and test it. This is why we always have full working systems in our booth. And this year was no exception; they had their best selling Regular Mechanical Bull system complete with the Old Glory flag themed inflatable.

They showcased two new themed rides this year; the Extreme Board Combo and Whirling Wizards, both of which were fully working and very impressive!

The Extreme Board Combo is based on the companies proven low profile motion base; it features three interchangeable extreme sports Surfing, Snowboarding & Skateboarding. The inflatable safety surround is themed in the style of a Half Pipe in a gray base color (very urban) they have cleverly incorporated strategically sewn Velcro strips that allow different colored theme vinyl sheets to be attached; a blue theme for the surf board & a white one for the snow board. To complete the options there are Velcro panels to the back & side walls to allow additional theming or advertising; each themed board can be interchanged in minutes.

In addition it can be used with the low profile motion base as would be used with a Surf Machine or with a mechanical bull motion base. Once again Galaxy capture the theme perfectly with the inflatable safety cushion designed as a Wizards castle!

Its not hard to see why the company is so popular. Their booth was always busy to the extent Robin Whincup (the company President) found himself with the opportunity to address 15 customers at once! When he had just a moment to take a break, Robin told me, “This is one of the best shows we’ve ever seen. We’ve had record breaking sales, not just with our standard rodeo bull ride but with the newer rides too. Sales has far exceeded our expectations!”

Looks like Galaxy America – The Rodeo Bull Company has found a great way to end 2010!

A mainstay in many local bars across the nation, the mechanical bull is not just for drunken wannabe cowboys anymore. With the new innovative technology used in these systems, people of any age can enjoy a fun filled bull ride. Next to the real thing, fewer things could be more realistic or entertaining. Add a mechanical bull to your rental items and you can watch your profits soar!

The New Designs Safe for All Ages

Surrounded by an inflated base, mechanical bulls are safe enough for even the smaller children. There is no need to judge the speed anymore, there are a wide variety of speeds that can be used depending on the participant. One minute even your smallest attendees could be riding like true cowboys and cowgirls, and the next minute grown men could be flying off the bull’s bucking back in a matter of seconds. Everyone will enjoy a safe and exciting thrill ride without the risk of harm or injury.

Multi-ride Units

Tired of the same old same old, or want your mechanical bull rental to be even more outstanding and unpredictable? Consider purchasing a multi-ride unit. This is a standard or deluxe mechanical bull with a multitude of various attachments to make it a new ride each time your client desires a change. How about a mechanical reindeer for a Christmas Event? Or a mechanical surfboard attachment to use for company picnics? You can even get themed attachments to match company or sponsor items. Once you’ve purchased your first attachment, you’re only limited by your imagination as you add more items to make your multi ride unit even more profitable. If you rent to a lot of companies just interested in children’s rides, there is even a kiddie ride attachment.

Purchasing a mechanical bull is an investment in the future of your establishment. There are many benefits that such an entertainment product could bring to your business, and they all lead to your profits rising. When you offer mechanical bull riding for fun and profit to your customers, you will be surprised by how much more they enjoy themselves, and return for more fun again and again.

Compete With Surrounding Establishments

If you own a bar and are barely hanging on to the customers you currently have, let alone bringing in any fresh business, then you need to invest in a mechanical bull. Offering a unique product like this allows you to compete with surrounding competitors in a way you may have never thought of. Not only will you be able to offer customers something that they will not find anywhere else, but you will also be offering them a thrilling experience that they will be dying to try over and over.

Raise Your Profit Margins

Another reason to offer mechanical bull riding for fun and profit is to raise the profit margins of your establishment. One way to do this is to offer a bull riding competition, with a prize going to the winner. You charge so much per entry and give a portion of the money as a prize, but you get to keep the rest. This is a wonderful way to get not only a return on your investment but earn a profit as well.

As an alternative you can just charge so much per head for a bull riding experience, and customers will be jumping at the chance to prove who is the best. Don’t forget all of the extra drinks and food you will sell when the hordes of customers flock to your establishment for the best experience in town.

Now there’s a thought…many of us spend a lot of time trying to think of the perfect business.  But it takes a real entrepreneur to come up with the idea of selling mechanical bull rides!  Although, if you have ever been to a party that offered a mechanical bull, (or mechanical bucking machine as it’s sometimes called) you can understand the excitement that’s generated by this fun attraction.

You can make money off your mechanical bull in two ways.  One is by selling rides at fairs and festivals and the second is by renting your bull to events & parties at a set rate.

They are both good…and many rodeo bull operators actually do both!

A mechanical bull is a great business investment but you need to do some homework before purchasing a mechanical bull.

• Although you might think that you should get the same bucking machine the rodeo champions use, that’s not always the case.  If you’re renting a bull in the retail market, the safety features are the most important part of any purchase decision you make.  An amateur bull rider needs their ride to be a lot safer than a rodeo cowboy.  Do some homework to see what safety features are offered by different manufacturers.
• The older mechanical bulls were hydraulic…and are harder to operate.  They’re also much harder to insure.  When choosing between electric and hydraulic systems, choosing electric is a no brainer.   They’re safer, easier to operate and if you choose the new multi-ride systems you can find a huge number of attachments that can change your bull to any number of themed rides.
• You want to make sure there is a safety stop on your bucking machine.  When the rider falls off, the mechanical bull will automatically stop.  Also, although it’s quite rare for someone to flip over the head of the bull, you’ll want a bull with a soft head.  This avoids a lot of possible injuries….especially if you have younger players riding your bull.
• An inflatable safety arena is an absolute must!  And it needs to be big enough that the rider won’t be flipped over the edge of the unit.  Also, some insurance companies require a specific inflatable size so make sure the manufacturer you choose has an inflatable base that is as large as the insurance requires.
• If you’re wondering where to buy mechanical bull, you’ll find there are a lot of companies that make them.   You’re going to want to find one that has been in business a long time, offers all the important safety features, keeps parts stocked locally, is permitted to sell into your state and is approved by the mechanical bull insurance companies.
• Keep in mind that cheapest is NOT always the best.  If you’re going to sell mechanical bull rides, you want a product that is consistent in its operation and that won’t let you down on a busy day.

Consider these points as you’re shopping and you’ll easily see where to buy one that best fits your needs.  And you’ll LOVE your new mechanical bull riding business business!

Finding the best mechanical bulls for sale can be a daunting task. There are so many different companies that offer these entertainment products that it can often be hard to know which one to choose. Another common question among business owners is whether they should purchases new or used bulls. Although the answer may be different among various business owners according to their needs, there are so general guidelines that can be followed in order to make the decision that is best for you.

Purchase from a Reputable Company

The number one thing that you should consider when trying to find the best mechanical bulls for sale is whether or not the retailer you choose is reputable. You need to be sure that you purchase from a reputable company so that you do not end up with a product that either doesn’t work, or is impossible to fix once it is broke.

Since many mechanical bulls whether they are new or used are made overseas, it is important to ensure that you will be able to return the bull right away should it be broke upon arrival, or that you will be able to purchase replacement items for your product locally or at least within the country should it ever break down. A reputable business will have answers to all of your questions and will not try to avoid them.

Does It Have a Warranty?

If you want to make sure that you get the best mechanical bulls for sale, then you may want to look for companies that offer some type of warranty on their products. This is particularly important if you are considering the purchase of a used product that may have mechanical issues sooner than a new one. Will the supplier you choose fix or replace your product should it break down in the allotted time?
