2 trampoline parks to pop up in Montgomery

Two massive trampoline parks plan to open in Montgomery later this year - within about a half-mile of each other.

Rockin' Jump will land at 5544 Atlanta Highway in December. It has locations across the country that feature an open jump area with interconnected trampolines, dodgeball and slam dunk lanes. They also specialize in non-jump attractions like rock walls, laser mazes and gladiator face-offs over a foam pit.

Meanwhile, a local Launch trampoline park franchisee is renovating an 18,000-square-foot building at 402 Twain Curve near Eastdale Mall and also plans to open in December. Those plans include a trampoline platform for 60 to 70 people, extreme dodgeball and an arcade.

Both will feature cafes and more amenities. There are no details on hours or pricing yet, and employment plans were still taking shape.

The leaders of both projects said the two parks are different enough to succeed on their own.
