Theme Parks & FECs

Delivering thrills and wow moments with know-how and a hint of magic.

Theme parks

We apply our global knowledge of the theme park industry with a keen eye for local nuances and wider trends to deliver projects that are perfectly suited to visitors' needs and preferences. Our theme park design expertise ranges from creating sensational new concepts in a green field environment to revamping existing locations with fresh storylines. 

Our strategic consultants work closely with our designers and masterplanning teams to ensure concepts are grounded in market reality without stifling creativity. Our goal is to develop successful projects that are able to meet the commercial aims of their stakeholders and deliver sustainable return on investment for many years to come.

Dark rides

When it comes to exciting and immersive theme park experiences, dark rides are a favourite with visitors of all ages. We create multisensory journeys with a strong narrative, outstanding multimedia, theatrical flourishes and even interactive gaming.  

We are industry leaders in creating amusement rides with maximum wow factor. Our designs merge sophisticated theming and adventurous storytelling with cutting-edge audio-visual and special effects for dark ride systems of all kinds. Action, atmosphere and some very clever tricks are all part of the package that makes our dark rides unforgettable experiences visitors return for again and again.
