SPIKE STUDIO   -    CONSULTING AND DEVELOPMENT

Spike Studio.
Let’s develop your
next installation together.

Planning a new attraction and wondering what’s possible with Spike? Spike Studio connects you directly with our team to discuss your ideas. Together, we develop a concept around your site, your guests, and your budget.
We build on existing Spike modules for track, drive, and control systems. Vehicle design, track layout, and the ride experience are tailored to your project, with new solutions developed where needed.

"Tell us about your location, your audience, your available space and your budget.
Together, we will develop a concept tailored to your requirements."

WHY CO-CREATION WORKS DIFFERENTLY HERE

The experience is new. The technical foundation is proven.

Fully Custom Build

Developing multiple components from scratch

In a fully custom development, key system components must be designed and validated specifically for the project. This increases development effort, project duration and complexity.
Spike Studio

Designing on a proven foundation

Track, drive and control architecture are available as proven platform modules. Together, we develop the elements that make your project unique - from the vehicle and experience design to interaction, multimedia and theming.

"This is what sets a platform configuration apart from a fully custom development:
The experience is customised. This is built on a proven platform technology."

THE STUDIO PROCESS

Four phases from briefing to operation.

Each phase has a clear result, a defined next milestone and shared responsibilities. This keeps you informed and in control throughout the entire process.

01

Briefing

Discuss your project

Our first conversation covers your site, available space, and target audience. We discuss the ride experience you have in mind, your capacity requirements, and your budget range. An initial idea is enough to get the conversation started.

Result:

A structured requirements profile as the basis for concept development.

Nest milestone:

A shared understanding of the project and approval to begin concept development.

Typical Timeframe:

1-2 weeks

02

Concept development

Develop a concept

Based on those discussions, we develop proposals for the vehicle and track layout. Visualizations, capacity calculations, and an initial investment estimate help you evaluate the concept. Together, we identify any technical questions that need further study before moving forward.

Results:

  • 3D renderings of the vehicle and system

  • animated visualization of the system and experience

  • scaled track layout

  • capacity analysis

  • experience and narrative concept

  • initial investment estimate

Next milestone:

Do we go straight into realization - or is pre-engineering advisable?

For technically demanding projects, we recommend an upstream pre-engineering step for detailed simulation, structural calculation, and definition of the support placement.

Timeframe: 

approx. 2–3 weeks (optional pre-engineering phase: approx. 4 months)

03

Development and prototyping

Engineer and test the ride

Once the project is commissioned, we develop the detailed engineering and prepare the design for manufacturing. For new vehicle types, we test key functions on a prototype and review the results with you.

Results:

The project-specific technical documentation and, for newly developed vehicle types, a tested prototype reviewed together with you.

Next milestone:

Prototype approval and release for manufacturing

Timeframe:

Depending on the scope of the project.

The Spike advantage:

You experience the key functions at an early stage and can incorporate adjustments while they are still straightforward to implement - well before manufacturing begins. Your system takes shape step by step using proven, jointly coordinated modules.

04

Manufacturing, installation and lifecycle support

Build and commission

We manufacture and install the ride, support commissioning and acceptance, and train your team. Once the ride is in operation, we continue to support you with service and maintenance.

Result:

An accepted, operational system and a lifecycle plan covering maintenance and potential future developments.

Next milestone:

Final acceptance and operational handover.

Timeframe:

Depending on the size and scope of the project.

START A PROJECT

Let’s talk about your idea.

Send us a brief description of what you have in mind. If available, include details about your site, the space you have, and the ride experience you want to create. We’ll then arrange an initial conversation with you.
