From Flying Coaster to Aerobatic Coaster: How Spike X-Fly Expands the Ride Experiencs

One track, individual flight maneuvers: Spike X-Fly takes rotating seats a significant step further. Discover how precise motion control, dedicated programs for each seat, and interactive rider input unlock new ride experiences.

Spike Drifter - Controlled Drifting on Rails

When drifting becomes a skill: The white paper shows how Spike Drifter combines rider-controlled seat orientation with programmable drift zones, direct feedback and scoring - while speed and the ride cycle remain controlled by the Spike Platform.

Defining a New Roller Coaster Category

One track, multiple ride experiences: The white paper shows how Spike Aero coordinates software-defined rider orientation with track dynamics - enabling distinct, precisely choreographed ride programs on the same physical layout.

From Observation Tower to Panorama Auditorium

When the panorama becomes a shared experience: The white paper shows how Spike Summit combines real-world views, shared focus and programmable motion to create a Panorama Auditorium - opening up new experience formats and revenue opportunities for operators.

Spike Cargo - Freedom for Material Flow. Regardless of Terrain.

Terrain freedom for material flow: The white paper shows how Spike Cargo uses direct, rail-guided 3D routes to overcome changes in elevation, connect building levels and cross transport corridors - helping reduce detours, transfer points and additional infrastructure.

Spike Surfin - An Interactive, Surfable Stand-Up Coaster

When drifting becomes a skill: The white paper shows how Spike Drifter combines rider-controlled seat orientation with programmable drift zones, direct feedback and scoring - while speed and the ride cycle remain controlled by the Spike Platform.

A shared technical foundation for distinctive attractions and transport systems

The Spike® Platform combines a proven technical core with the freedom to create distinctive attractions and transport systems. The white paper explains how its modular architecture, Spike Drive System and Software-Defined Dynamics open up new possibilities for layouts, experiences and future upgrades.

The Union of Mobility and Experience

When mobility does more: The “Transportainment” white paper explores how reliable passenger transport, flexible routing and a thoughtfully designed journey create new possibilities for resorts, airports and urban environments.

How Spike Drifter creates a realistic drifting experience despite 100% traction.

How can drifting feel authentic when a rail-guided vehicle cannot physically lose grip? Spike Drifter answers with a programmable handling limit that makes driving skill measurable and gives every curve its own character.

How Rider Orientation Changes the Way a Roller Coaster Feels

Same track, different feeling: Spike X-Fly turns rider orientation into an additional design parameter. The same track element can therefore create distinctly different experiences without changing its geometry or underlying ride dynamics.

How Spike Surfin Turns Surf Maneuvers into Active Riding Challenges

What do takeoff, cutback, and aerial maneuvers have to do with a roller coaster? Spike Surfin brings the movement principles of surfing to the track: the layout defines the motion, while riders respond actively through the footboard - with a new challenge for every element and immediate, measurable feedback.

Every large coaster delivers high capacity today. What matters is how that capacity is achieved -and what this approach costs or saves.

Light, sound and effects that aren't played back but generated in real time out of the ride. Spike Pulse opens up a new dimension of staging on the roller coaster.

Spike Racing, ASM, Wheelie, PM360 - little in common at first glance. And yet they all share the same technical core. How that gives rise to an entire product range.

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.

Transportainment combines reliable passenger transport with flexible routing and a thoughtfully designed journey - creating added value for resorts, airports and urban environments.

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 turn rides into living, replayable adventures.

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.

Starting lights, hairpin turns, overtaking maneuvers - and every rider controls the throttle. Our new Spike Train transfers the elements of a real racetrack to a coaster: with active braking and acceleration, interactive competition between riders, and a Ghost Rider that projects the day's best time onto the rail. All at a throughput of over 2,000 passengers per hour. Read our blog article to find out how it works and why no conventional coaster can do this!

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.
