So, What’s New at Destiny USA for 2020?

Brands that have recently opened include:

 

Trombi’s Tower

 

Trombi’s Tower is a five level, new physically stimulating and interactive attraction that offers an entirely new concept of play for children ages 5 – 12. Developed by Romanian entrepreneur twin brothers, Sebastian and Razvan Blidariu, Trombi’s Tower is an obstacle course, designed to inspire sportive play and healthy children. Trombi’s Tower will present five stages in the obstacle course, enclosed by a giant, wraparound slide and transparent walls. Each stage displays different play elements that challenge children’s cognitive and physical skills. While completing the obstacle course, children accumulate points and can even compete with each other. Once children have completed the obstacle course, they slide down a wraparound slide.

Regal, a leading motion picture exhibitor operating one of the largest theatre circuits in the United States, is undergoing a massive renovation in 2020. The first phase of the new look will include a build-out of a 4DX theater for movie goers. 4DX enhances the on-screen visuals of action-packed blockbusters using special effects including motion-synchronized seats, wind, fog, rain, lightning, snow, bubble, vibration and scents. The renovation also includes a complete revamp of the lobby and theaters, the addition of a cafe and smoothie bar by B.fresh, restroom and corridor upgrades, and new seating in all of the theaters which includes a VIP section with luxury recliners. The 4Dx theater is expected to open in early March and will be the first of its kind in upstate New York.

 

Trollbeads

Destiny USA is excited to announce the start of construction for the newest retail location of Trollbeads. Trollbeads is the original bead-on-bracelet concept known for using the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. Every piece is hand-crafted by designers around the world, and made with the finest and most durable materials. The store features over 600 beads – each with their own unique design and story. Every bead symbolizes something authentically Danish – magic, creativity, mythology, the wonders of nature, modern styling and architecture. Trollbeads will open early spring at Destiny USA.

 

Get Air

Get Air is coming to Destiny USA this fall! Billed as “the best indoor entertainment around”, the trampoline park will feature trampolines, rock walls, basketball, and even dodge ball courts! Get Air will be the newest addition to Destiny USA’s lineup of family entertainment on the third level and will occupy the former Cowboys Saloon space, across from Margaritaville. The footprint will be enlarged from its current size of 13,872 square feet to the original size of 22,490 square feet and will open later this year.
