• A second Hall U Need location has opened in the Westfield Carré Sénart shopping center in Lieusaint, France. Bowling, mini-golf and karaoke headline the list of attractions, although guests also may partake of billiards, darts and virtual-reality experiences.

• Also in France, Val d’Europe is adding a family entertainment center that includes bowling, laser tag, go-karts and karaoke. Val d’Europe, located in the easternmost sector of the new town of Marne-la-Vallée, east of Paris, was originally built as part of a public–private partnership between The Walt Disney Company and France.
• Bowling is part of the new Sindbad’s Wonderland at the Dolmen Mall in Lahore.

Brunswick Bowling provided the equipment for the four tenpin lanes.
