Two Bit Circus to open micro-amusement park in LA in September

Experimental entertainment company Two Bit Circus plans to open its first “micro-amusement park” in Los Angeles in September. The 40,000-square-foot modern playground for digital and physical arcade games will be the first in a series, said Brent Bushnell, CEO of Two Bit Circus and son of Atari cofounder Nolan Bushnell.

In an interview with GamesBeat, the younger Bushnell said, “It’s coming together. This is the movie theater for interactive. It has zones, just like an amusement park, with different games in each area.”
