Munich-based roller coaster manufacturer Maurer Rides is extending its Spike family with two new products: Spike Train and Spike Tandem. Both bring the interactive, software-defined Spike ride feel to the hourly capacity that large parks expect from a headline attraction.

Press a button, change the ride: the Spike Coaster transforms passengers into active players and every ride into a unique, interactive experience. Real-time reactions, competitive gameplay, and tangible physical effects merge into a new form of attraction that goes far beyond traditional roller coasters. Discover how Software-Defined Dynamics turns rides into living, replayable adventures.

Build your own SPIKE® Racing Coaster vehicle at home.

Here you can download the complete 3D print files and assemble the model step by step yourself. The kit is designed to deliver not only a strong visual impression but also a functional, moving mechanism.

Print the parts, assemble them, and watch individual components come together to form a dynamic miniature vehicle inspired by the real SPIKE® Racing Coaster.

What if the roller coaster itself was the storyteller? While traditional rides follow the laws of physics rather than a narrative, Software-Defined Dynamics (SDD) transforms movement into a narrative medium where every acceleration and stop is freely programmed. From track layouts that follow the plot to interactive "hero moments" and networked vehicle duels, SDD turns the coaster into a physical script. Discover how to move beyond gravity and design experiences where the story is physically experienced.

The steel structure of the new SPIKE® roller coaster at the HI SPACE indoor park in Chongqing has been successfully completed. This marks a key milestone in the construction of the world’s first interactive indoor roller coaster. The ride is based on Maurer Rides’ SPIKE® technology, allowing guests to individually control speed, acceleration, and braking throughout the entire course. This creates a highly personalized experience in which no two rides are the same. With the completion of the steelwork, the project now enters the next phase of installation and system integration.

With Spike® Tandem, a new era of theme park attractions begins: for the first time, dark ride and roller coaster fully merge into one seamless experience—without technical compromises. Discover how a software-defined ride system enables maximum creative freedom, precise storytelling, and entirely new levels of immersion.

In the age of electromobility, the Spike Coaster is revolutionizing the roller coaster experience. It combines the breathtaking acceleration and innovative technology of Formula E with the most thrilling ride maneuvers that a roller coaster can offer. Here’s a look at why the Spike Coaster is more than just a roller coaster—it’s Formula E on tracks.

Maurer Rides introduces the Spike® Jetski Coaster – an innovative attraction that combines the dynamic feel of jet skiing with advanced coaster engineering. The track layout features tight turns, rapid direction changes, and interactive elements that allow riders to control acceleration and boost individually. With speeds of up to 60 km/h and longitudinal acceleration of up to 1.2 g, the ride delivers an intense yet precisely engineered racing experience. Its compact footprint and versatile theming options make it an ideal solution for parks seeking a high-energy, water-inspired attraction.
