The first manufacturing company of inflatable and space walk was in New Orleans in a leased warehouse. In the year of 1968 a lady named Frances started an inflatable rental company and in 1976 they constructed a custom facility for the manufacture and leasing of such products. They promoted their inflatable items in various events like kid's birthday parties, school functions, picnics and much more occasions. Gradually inflatables gained popularity. Frank the son of Frances had prolonged their rental business all around the United States under a brand title Space Walk and Inflatable Zoo. Frank also established the premier inflatable indoor play park that is named as Fun Factory on Thanksgiving Day 1986 in Metairie, Louisiana. In 1987 the next unit of that park was opened in Memphis Tennessee that is named as Fun Plex. They invented the initial inflatable which was an open top mattress that had no sides and they named it as Space Pillow.

To solve the warmth problem a forward thinking product was launched. It was in the entire year of 1974 that Jupiter Jump was created. These jumps had inflated columns to aid netting walls so the air can pass through (THE PRESENT DAY Jump). In the very beginning of 1990s Frank produced the first commercial inflatable water slides that was called the Aqua Tunnel.

With the introduction of Computer Aided Design or CAD, all of the jumpers offered today is huge and only limited by human imagination.
