Amusement Technical is one of Europe’s leading specialists in the design and manufacture of amusement park ride control systems.
Whether an upgrade to an existing plc is required, or the delivery of a complete control for a new ride, we can implement the latest proven hardware, software and safety products to current industry standards
Our cost-effective ride-automation solutions include ride safety systems, ride supervisory systems and sub-system controller interfaces systems for all types and sizes of theme park rides.
As a worldwide leader in amusement park ride control systems' design and manufacture, we are fully conversant with all PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) and both AC and DC drive systems by all the main manufacturers. These include Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation (including Allan Bradley), Mitsubishi, Siemens and Pilz.
We are frequently invited worldwide to deal with amusement and theme park ride control system issues both by parks directly and also on behalf of other large ride manufacturers.
Adaptation of rides to accept modern PLCs or drives (retrofit control systems) is a very common scenario for us and this can usually be carried out entirely on site in a short amount of time.

We specialise in writing or modifying PLC software applications for all types of amusement park rides. We design all of the hardware circuits and we write every line of program code, so that we can tightly integrate the control system to your application.
All control system work produced is supplied with supporting documentation in accordance with EN13814.
Whatever your ride, your automation challenges are similar: increase safety, improve reliability, and bolster profitability.

We don't just work on new attractions. If an existing control system needs replacement, refreshing, or fine-tuning, we can provide a retrofit solution to migrate you to the latest technology and protect your investment long term.
We regularly provide independent assessments of existing ride control systems and, if required, perform upgrades. These enhancements can include replacement of obsolete, unsupported equipment, ensuring rides are up in line with the latest safety standards, or adding more functionality to the ride control system. Also, we offer preventative maintenance services for ride control systems and access to our on-call engineers on a 24/7 basis to minimise ride down-times.
A niche specialist, Amusement Technical has designed and supplied safe ride control systems to the theme park industry for over ten years. We provide control systems to leading parks across the world.
