The SBTi is a global initiative that enables companies and financial institutions to set science-based climate targets and play their part in tackling the climate crisis.

Formula 1 racing cars are designed for maximum acceleration. To achieve this, their engine power must be high and their weight low. Their power density also achieves outstanding values of over 1.3 hp per kg of vehicle weight.
With over 1.5 hp/kg, the Spike ASM drive unit is built even more efficiently and is therefore unsurpassed as a track vehicle. An average car weighing 2000 kg would need 3000 hp for the same power density. What does this enormous power mean for roller coaster construction?

Prepare for the ultimate interstellar adventure with Space Odyssey, the groundbreaking new Spike Coaster layout that takes competitive thrill rides to the next level. Two parallel tracks invite riders to engage in a high-stakes duel where you control the speed. Will you outpace your rival, or will their strategy leave you in the stardust? The outcome is in your hands!

The new Spike Coaction™ system has been installed on the SkyDragster Spike Coaster in the Allgäu Skyline Park. This means that not only the rider can now control the speed interactively, but also the co-driver has the opportunity to actively influence the ride. 

Spike Fun Tilt was the first roller coaster to introduce tilting seats that can be automatically or interactively tilted backwards by 45 degrees. This innovative feature opens up a variety of completely new and exciting experiences. The result is extraordinary and completely new ride designs. In this article we present 10 highlights.

On the initiative of Jeroen Nijpels and his company JNELC, an independent study was conducted on sustainability commitment in the theme park industry. The study analysed the top 20 European theme parks and 16 of the leading ride suppliers. According to the study, Maurer Rides is the only company among the suppliers that has published a sustainability report and consistently pursues the topic of sustainability. The study makes it clear how important it is to engage intensively with the topic and presents our activities as a good example of what should be implemented.
