Motion as Architecture
Spike PM360 combines a freely shaped 3D track with a self-leveling cabin. The result is a site-specific Landmark - visible from the outside and experienced on board.
Attractions that become
landmarks.
Some attractions do more than draw attention - they shape the identity of a park or destination. The modular Spike Platform combines flexible track geometries, variable ride dynamics and custom vehicle concepts to create distinctive signature attractions - from the PM360 pendulum cabin to entirely new formats developed around your vision.
SPIKE BENEFITS FOR THIS APPLICATION
Creative Freedom
When Motion Becomes Architecture.
01 / Layout Freedom
Layout Freedom
Distinctive shapes and track geometries:
Vertical climbs, 360° motion and freely configurable 3D layouts open up new possibilities for sculptural track designs. The attraction itself becomes an architectural statement.

02 / Visibility
Visibility
A landmark with lasting visual impact:
A signature attraction creates a distinctive focal point for a park or destination. Its characteristic silhouette strengthens imagery, communication and brand identity - visible from afar and instantly recognizable.

03 / Experience Freedom
Experience Freedom
From panoramic views to dynamic thrills:
Software-Defined Dynamics allow one attraction to deliver different ride experiences - from a gentle panoramic journey during the day to a more dynamic thrill experience in the evening. Enclosed cabins, open seating and interactive features provide additional freedom to tailor the experience to the location and its audience.

04 / Custom Formats
Opportunities for New Attraction Concepts
Signature attractions are designed to be unique. What takes the form of a 360° pendulum cabin today could become an entirely new experience tomorrow - developed in the Spike Studio on a proven modular foundation. When your vision falls outside established categories, Spike provides the starting point for a custom solution.
MATCHING PRODUCTS
Architecture that moves.
The PM360 pendulum cabin combines the presence of a landmark with the movement of a ride. Rotating panorama towers and vertically moving walk-on platforms show what else is possible on the Spike platform - further signature formats take shape in Spike Studio.
Transportainment
Transportainment combines reliable passenger transport with flexible routing and a thoughtfully designed journey - creating added value for resorts, airports and urban environments.
How does unlimited energy enable new ride elements?
The basic principle of the Gravity Coaster is that the vehicles roll freely along the track after a single energy supply, be it from a lift or a launch. The design of the ride figures must therefore be based on the current energy state of the vehicle. This means that the vehicles should be able to complete the maneuvers without getting stuck, but should not be overloaded with excessive forces. This raises the question of what would be possible if the vehicle's energy were freely controllable.
Could your vision become a landmark?
Whether you envision a spectacular landmark, a piece of moving architecture or an entirely new attraction format, the Spike Studio works with you to develop a custom solution built on proven platform technology.
