Ceiling height doesn't have to stand between your FEC and a controlled jump attraction.
A traditional free fall setup, like off an adventure park tower, of course requires more vertical space than many indoor facilities have available. If your venue is located in a shopping center, converted retail space, warehouse building, or other indoor facility, you may assume a free fall experience is simply out of reach.
That’s where the QuickFlight Free Fall Device Low Mount configuration changes the equation.
Designed specifically for indoor attractions with lower ceiling heights, the QuickFlight Low Mount allows operators to bring the excitement of a controlled free fall to spaces with shorter ceiling heights, and an attraction that keeps customers coming back.
Instead of asking:
“Is our ceiling too low for a free fall attraction?”
Ask:
“How can we use the vertical space we already have to create a signature guest experience?”
For many FECs, the QuickFlight Low Mount provides the answer.
Why a low mount free fall makes sense for FECs
Today’s guests are looking for experiences that are active, memorable, and shareable. A free fall attraction delivers all three.
By offering a controlled jump experience, operators can:
- Create a signature attraction that stands out from competitors.
- Increase guest engagement and dwell time.
- Generate memorable photo and video moments.
- Make better use of underutilized vertical space.
Perhaps most importantly, a low mount system can help operators expand their attraction lineup without requiring a purpose-built high-bay facility.

5 use cases for Family Entertainment Centers
1. Add a thrilling finish to a climbing wall
One of the most popular applications is pairing the QuickFlight Low Mount with a climbing wall, as it’s also certified as a climbing device.
Guests climb to the top and choose between climbing down or taking the jump. This creates a memorable “hero moment” that increases the perceived value of the climbing attraction.
Turn every climb into an unforgettable finish.
2. Create a standalone free fall attraction
With mounting heights as low as 6.0 m (19.7 ft), operators can install a dedicated free fall experience in a relatively compact footprint.
This is especially valuable for:
- Indoor FECs or Fun Climbs
- Shopping mall entertainment venues
- Smaller regional attractions
- Retrofit projects
3. Build a multi-attraction adventure zone
The Low Mount integrates naturally with other active attractions, including:
- Clip-and-climb walls
- Ninja courses
- Ropes courses
- Interactive climbing games
- Soft play areas
Instead of dedicating an entire high-bay area to a free fall attraction, operators can incorporate it into an existing elevated adventure zone.
4. Create family-friendly challenges
Because the device accommodates users from 44–285 lb (20–130 kg), both children and adults can participate!
That opens the door for:
- Parent-child challenges
- Family competitions
- "Race to the top" events
- Group participation activities
5. Make birthday parties more memorable
Birthday parties remain a major revenue driver for many FECs. A free fall attraction gives groups a standout experience that guests are likely to remember—and share on social media.
For operators, that means a stronger value proposition for party packages and group bookings.
The biggest opportunity: retrofitting existing buildings
Many family entertainment centers operate in spaces that were never designed for large adventure attractions:
- Former retail stores
- Shopping centers
- Strip malls
- Warehouse conversions
These facilities often have ceiling heights in the 20–30 ft range, a challenge for traditional free fall installations.
The QuickFlight Low Mount is designed specifically for those environments, allowing operators to transform unused vertical space into a revenue-generating attraction.
Big thrills for smaller spaces
Whether you’re enhancing a climbing wall, building an adventure zone, or retrofitting an existing facility, the Low Mount configuration can help you turn limited ceiling height into a high-impact attraction opportunity.
Because sometimes the best place for a free fall attraction isn’t the tallest building.
It’s the building you already have.
