Arizona Tribune - Lelantos Holdings Highlights Airtopia Tahlequah, the Next Step in Its Ground-Up Growth Strategy

MCALESTER, OK / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2026 / Lelantos Holdings, Inc. (OTCID:LNTO) today released the fifth chapter of its Building Airtopia series, highlighting Airtopia Tahlequah - the Company's first location built from the ground up around Airtopia's proven operating model, inside a converted former cinema property.

Key Highlights for Investors

• First location designed entirely around Airtopia's proven playbook from day one, built inside a converted former cinema

• Opened in 2026; generated approximately $309,735 in revenue through June 30, 2026, during its opening period

• Q3 2026 revenue currently estimated at approximately $300,000; full-year 2026 guidance of approximately $1.0 million

• Success is being measured on leadership strength and guest-experience consistency - not revenue alone - as a signal of durability for future openings

San Antonio proved Airtopia could transform an underperforming business. Owasso showed the model could repeat. Hemet demonstrated the platform could move into a new state. Tahlequah asked the next question: Could Airtopia take everything learned across those parks and use it to build a new location from the ground up?

Airtopia Tahlequah opened in 2026 as one of the Company's newest locations. Unlike the earlier parks, Tahlequah gave the Company the chance to design the guest journey, operating workflows, team structure, membership strategy, hospitality standards, technology, food and beverage systems, and leadership expectations before the doors opened.

That distinction matters. Each established park produced valuable lessons, but a ground-up location is a clearer test of whether those lessons have become repeatable systems - not just knowledge held by individual leaders.

Through June 30, 2026, Tahlequah generated approximately $309,735 in revenue during its opening period. Management projects approximately $300,000 in third-quarter revenue and approximately $1.0 million for full-year 2026. These early results reflect a location still in its initial ramp-up phase, as leadership builds awareness, recurring visitation, memberships, birthday parties, group events, and operational consistency.

The financial story is still being written, but management believes Tahlequah is already serving a strategic purpose - testing how quickly a newly opened market can move from launch to stable operations when supported by a more mature companywide platform.

"Tahlequah is where years of learning became a starting point instead of a correction plan," said Felix Waller, Founder of Airtopia Adventure Parks and Chief Executive Officer of Lelantos Holdings. "We did not have to begin with someone else's systems and slowly replace them. We had the opportunity to begin with our culture, our standards, our training, and our vision already in place. That does not remove the challenges of opening a new business, but it gives the team a stronger foundation from day one."

The Tahlequah opening incorporated lessons from Airtopia's prior locations across hiring and leadership selection, team onboarding, guest communication, membership sales, birthday party operations, food and beverage service, attraction procedures, safety, technology, and opening-day readiness. The goal was not a perfect park on day one - it was a location capable of learning, improving, and stabilizing inside a defined operating system.

Airtopia's leadership model remains central to that approach. General Managers operate as accountable local business leaders, backed by centralized training, marketing, technology, operating resources, and executive guidance. Tahlequah's success will be measured not only by revenue growth, but by the strength of its leadership team, the consistency of the guest experience, and its ability to operate without continuous executive intervention.

The Company also views Tahlequah as a community investment - expanding local access to all-ages entertainment, birthday celebrations, group events, active play, food and beverage, and employment, while giving families another place to connect and create memories close to home.

"A new building does not automatically create a great business," Waller continued. "The building gives you an opportunity. People, culture, and execution determine what that opportunity becomes. Our responsibility is to equip the local team, support them well, and continue raising the standard as the park grows."

As Tahlequah moves beyond its opening period, Airtopia will continue building local awareness, membership participation, birthday party volume, group sales, food and beverage performance, and repeat visitation - while using operating feedback from the location to refine future new-park openings and strengthen the systems supporting additional growth.

The Building Airtopia series continues with Airtopia McAlester, where the Company combines its family entertainment operating model with an established cinema business to create a differentiated hybrid destination - exploring how Airtopia is reimagining how multiple forms of entertainment can work together under one roof.
