Valdosta Scene September 2023 | Page 16

Recoil is the largest trampoline park and arcade in South Georgia at 5,400 square feet . The park offers multiple experiences to Valdosta and surrounding counties .
In an earlier interview with the Times , Coggins said he wanted to model the game after Moody for two reasons .
Recoil Trampoline Park expands with an arcade featuring nearly 80 different single-player and multiplayer games .
Upgrades and extra lives are available throughout the game , and the scene comes with various hiding places including a fort .
The laser tag feature at Recoil was conceived during the pandemic .
“ I think the laser tag is something that gives us a little more diversity for other people ,” Coggins said .
• Military members make up a significant amount of Recoil customers and Coggins was a community honorary commander who was stationed with the 820th Base Defense Group some years ago , he said .
“ Moody has been so accepting of us ,” he said . “ Thirty percent of our business comes from Moody , and so when we started designing this , we wanted something local .”
Coggins said the game depiction is a thank you to the military members for their support .
• Moody was consulted and helped facilitate the process of crafting the laser tag ’ s theme , he said .
Unlike its trampolines , adding laser tag allows Recoil to cater to customers of any age , he said , noting laser tag also lends itself to be a team-building exercise for companies .
In August 2022 , Recoil launched phase three with its new immersive experience .
