Transforming the Bowling Experience: How DFX Elevated Duckpin at Walt Disney World's Swan And Dolphin Resort with VersaLED AV Integration
Lake Buena Vista, Flordia
Bowling center owners are constantly seeking new ways to elevate the customer experience and stand out in a competitive entertainment landscape. At the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort, the newly opened Lagoon Games, Lanes, and Eats is setting a powerful example of what’s possible when modern AV integration and duckpin bowling technology come together.
DFX was proud to partner on this high-profile installation, delivering a VersaLED Video Masking System and fully integrated audio system that completely transformed Lagoon’s five-lane duckpin bowling attraction into a show-stopping, immersive experience.
💡 The Need for Modernization in Bowling Centers
Today’s customers want more than just scoring—they want immersive entertainment. That’s why bowling venues, especially family entertainment centers (FECs), are investing in technology that creates atmosphere, boosts engagement, and drives repeat visits.
Whether you operate a traditional bowling center or a boutique duckpin attraction, upgrading your video masking and audio systems is one of the most effective ways to modernize your offering.
