Funding a Laser Tag business

Greetings everyone, this looks like a super place for information. I am glad I found it!
I am looking for sources of funding to start up a Laser Tag facility with an add on attraction called Cyber Sport. Large population with only 1 facility(small) in the area. I can and will do it better!
I have approx 50k to invest and will need 100-150k for building build out and working capital and I plan to lease the laser tag equipment. I have collateral (house/SEP-IRA), but want to stay away from using it. Last check FICO was 824.
What other sources besides SBA should I be researching?
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Do you have more than Laser Tag happening? Is there an arcade? I recently visited a place that had Laser Tag, skydiving simulator, and the wave thing for indoor surfing and bodyboarding. There was also an arcade, bumper cars, miniature golf course, pizza, deli, and a gym (Parents going to the gym can bring their kids for fun.) These all seemed to be run independently and targeted the same audience of those who are trying to figure out what to do for fun. This was a new facility and the people were excited.
Yes, we are going to have video game arcade, hot food snack bar, party rooms, parent waiting room with TV and free Wi-Fi. I am also looking at adding a game called Cyber Sport. It is a game that is a mix of hockey, lacrosse and basketball, all while riding in a bumper type car.

Where is this going to be located?
