Urban Air Adventure Park Franchise
An indoor adventure park franchise (trampolines, climbing, ropes courses, go-karts, and other attractions under one roof) operated as a "Park." Founded in 2011 and now part of the Unleashed Brands portfolio; DFPI's own franchise registry lists the entity as "UATP Management LLC ... Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park" with the notation "sold by unleashed brands." Franchised unit count grew every year of its FDD's three-year window -- one of only two entertainment entries in this dataset (alongside Fantasy Claw Arcade) and, unusually for this category, both years of data and a clean multi-year table were actually available.
Every franchisor has to file a document called an FDD before they can legally sell you a franchise. Buried in it are the two things a sales rep won't volunteer: what you'll actually spend to open, and whether existing locations are opening or closing. That's what's below, pulled straight from Urban Air Adventure Park's own filing.

What you'd actually spend, over time
The upfront cost is only part of it. Plug in what you expect a location to bring in, and see the real total once royalties over a few years are added on top.

When would you break even?
Revenue alone doesn't tell you this -- it depends on what's left after rent, labor, and everything else. Urban Air Adventure Park's FDD doesn't disclose a reliable profit figure (most franchisors don't), so this starts from a typical entertainment profit margin (~12%) and applies it to the revenue you entered above -- adjust the percentage to your own realistic estimate.
Defaulted to a general entertainment industry benchmark, not a figure from Urban Air Adventure Park's own filing -- this is a starting point to adjust, not a promise about what franchisees actually make.
At that profit, you'd break even in about
43.2–80.4 years
Weigh that payback period against what you already know: Urban Air Adventure Park is opening more locations. A long payback period on a shrinking brand is a very different bet than the same payback period on a growing one.
Is Urban Air Adventure Park actually growing?
Franchisors have to report, every year, how many locations opened, closed, or changed hands. Most franchise sites never show you this. Here it is:

You can pull the same filing yourself from the California DFPI's public franchise search. Filed 2025. None of this is investment advice -- get the franchisor's current FDD and talk to a real attorney or accountant before you sign anything.
If you see a different unit count elsewhere: franchisors only have to refile their FDD annually, so the numbers here can run 6–18 months behind a franchisor's own real-time marketing claims -- which often aren't independently verified, and sometimes count signed-but-not-yet-open locations. A gap isn't necessarily an error on either side; it's two different snapshots in time from two different sources.
