Read more →This page collects the guides and updates we write for operators, carnival companies and tourism developers who are buying amusement rides internationally. The aim is practical: explain how a ride type works, what it costs to run, what the site needs to provide, and where the common mistakes are made.
Buying guides answer a single decision question - which ropeway type suits a mountain route, how much space a wave swinger needs, what to check before ordering a kiddie train. Product guides look at a specific ride and the planning around it. Company updates cover certifications, new models and factory news.
If you are early in a project, start with the buying guide for the ride category you are considering, then use the product pages for specifications. If a question is not covered, send it to us: the questions we receive most often become the next guide.
Guides are published as projects and questions come up, rather than on a fixed schedule. Product launches and certification news are added when they happen; buying guides are written when the same question reaches us from several operators.
If a topic you need is missing, send it in. Questions about site planning, power supply, shipping or ride selection are the ones we can answer most usefully, and they often become the next article in this section.
Every guide links back to the relevant product pages, so you can move from the general decision to the specific specification in one step. Start with the category you are considering, then compare the models that fit your footprint and budget.
Check back periodically, or ask us to send the latest guide for the ride category you are considering - we are happy to point you to the article that matches your project stage.
