Dooner’s remarkable record of career accomplishments showcase his most notable franchise endeavors involving the expansion of distinguished entities like Chuck E Cheese, ESPNZone, and a series of Disney launches such as Club Disney, DisneyQuest, and the major expansion of Tokyo Disneyland. His commendable growth management skills, leadership proficiency, and mere mastery of business buildout has fueled Immersive Tech’s confidence to branch out. 

Dooner states that “Having spent my entire career in this industry, I have seen a variety of innovative concepts come to market.  In some cases, an existing concept is enhanced and refined to the point where it sets itself apart from the rest.  The Uncontained experience is one such concept.  Not only do they encompass the latest and best technology, but they have successfully addressed many of the capital and logistical concerns of the operator.” Dooner’s support will navigate Immersive Tech on a prosperous path with an effective business model, to further establish the company throughout both the LBVR and collaborative entertainment sectors.
