Rotating sweep arm, two heights
The low arm sweeps fast (duck); the high arm sweeps slow (jump). The operator cycles speeds round to round to keep the bracket honest.
A Meltdown is the inflatable sports game that turns a Frisco corporate team day into the lunch-break story everybody retells for a week. Eight players climb onto the stations, the operator starts the sweep arm, the low boom passes - you jump - the high boom passes - you duck. Miss one and you’re off the station. Last one standing walks away with the bracket.
The unit rolls in on a single trailer, the crew levels and stakes the base, the operator runs the sweep-speed test, and the first bracket launches in under 90 minutes. We run it solo for teen birthdays and pair it with carnival games, bungee towers, a trackless train, and concessions for school field days and church lock-ins - one load-in, one COI, one invoice.
Call 972-429-4545 or book online - corporate team-day Fridays fill by March, and the unit goes with the first HR lead that locks the date.

Eight players run at once. A corporate team of 64 clears a full bracket in four rounds, about 45 minutes.
Trained, insured operator runs the sweep-speed console, calls the start whistle, and pauses the arm on any station fall.
Riders measure in at the gate. Kids four-foot and up, adults up to two-seventy-five. Inflatable sidewalls cushion the fall.
Arm motor and sidewall blowers run off a standard 110v outlet or our whisper-quiet genset - no tripped breaker at noon.

The Classic Meltdown
The flagship Meltdown is the ride that pulls the photo. The base inflates; the sidewall cushion fills; the operator runs a sweep-speed test; the gate attendant briefs jump-and-duck; the nine-speed console clicks to round one. Eight players climb on, the whistle drops, and the photographer catches the exact half-second the marketing VP eats a boom and rolls onto the sidewall.
What we bring so the only thing you plan is the bracket:
Meltdown lands first in the load-in order so the queue lane gets painted and the HR lead or youth pastor walks the operator through the team waiver rules before the first round drops.
Meltdown works anywhere there is a 22-foot square pad, ten feet of ceiling indoors, and a bracket of players who want the last-player-standing photo. These are the DFW events we rebook every year.
Legacy West, The Star, and Hall Park - the bracket finals that drop cleanly into the offsite agenda.
Head-to-head bracket with the axe throw, bungee tower, and Meltdown as the evening finale.
Frisco ISD, Prosper ISD, and Allen ISD senior after-prom lock-ins and spring field days.
Prestonwood, Stonebriar, Gateway, and Chase Oaks youth lock-ins - Rookie Round for middle-schoolers.
Country-club Sweet 16 courtyards and Frisco teen birthdays - the eight-station photo close.
Twin Creeks, Starcreek, and Windsong Ranch block parties and pool-closing socials.
Will It Work?
Before the trailer rolls, we confirm the spot. Meltdown needs a 22-foot square pad for the inflatable base, ten feet of ceiling clearance on indoor setups, and a gate the trailer can turn through. Nine of ten DFW setups clear on the call; the tenth we catch on a facilities walk-through so nobody is rerouting the sweep arm at 3pm on corporate team day.
22ft × 22ft pad 10ft ceiling (indoor) Flat asphalt, concrete, or compacted turf 12ft gate clearance for the trailer 110v outlet or onboard genset Crew access lane 8ft wide
Corporate atriums, country-club ballrooms, and megachurch gyms usually clear on the walk-through. HOA clubhouses occasionally need a sidewall reroute around a pool fence or landscape bed - we scout it on the call so there are no surprises at load-in.
Every Meltdown booking ships with the same standard kit:
Meltdown is an attendant-run ride - no self-start, no player at the console. The operator walks your HR lead or youth pastor through the posted rules at load-in.
Same-day delivery and setup throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex:
Travel fees may apply for events outside our standard radius - call 972-429-4545 for a quote.
Corporate team-day Fridays at Legacy West, The Star, and Hall Park fill by early March. Spring school after-prom lock-ins at Frisco ISD and Prosper ISD claim the unit by February. Megachurch youth lock-ins at Prestonwood, Stonebriar, and Gateway book four to six weeks out.
Riders measure four foot and up, seventy pounds to two hundred seventy-five. The gate attendant sizes each player, confirms the waiver, and briefs the jump-and-duck cue before the round. We do not run the game for pregnant guests, back or neck braces, or recent knee surgery.
A Meltdown round runs four minutes start to finish - the operator starts the sweep arm, players jump or duck, and the last station standing wins. Eight players cycle per round, which clears a bracket of 64 in about 45 minutes across four rounds.
Meltdown needs a 22-foot square pad for the inflatable base, 10 feet of ceiling clearance indoors, and a 12-foot gate for the trailer. Power is the onboard blower and motor running off a standard 20-amp 110v outlet, or our whisper-quiet generator for pavilion bookings.
Same-day delivery across Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, Wylie, Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Garland, and Denton. We stage Meltdown at Legacy West and The Star corporate team days, Prestonwood, Stonebriar, and Gateway youth lock-ins, country-club Sweet 16 courtyards, and HOA socials at Twin Creeks and Windsong Ranch.
Indoor setups in corporate atriums, country-club ballrooms, and megachurch gyms run on schedule regardless of weather. Outdoor setups pause for lightning within 10 miles and resume 30 minutes after the last strike. Sustained winds above 25 mph halt the unit because the sidewalls lose shape.
Call 972-429-4545 or book online - corporate team-day Fridays fill by March, and the unit goes first.
