Project Management for Theme Parks & Attractions
Theme park projects live or die by coordination. Ride engineering, scenic, AV, show control, and park operations all have to land on the same date. We embed with your team to manage the schedule, interfaces, and decision trail toward the agreed opening target. Our project leads work alongside park engineering and safety teams using the workflows and approvals your project requires.
What we deliver for Theme Parks & Attractions
- Attraction build oversight from concept through commissioning
- Multi-vendor coordination across ride, scenic, AV, and show control
- Client-specified IAAPA/ASTM requirement and approval tracking
- Park integration: blackout windows and client-directed permit/LOTO interfaces
- Daily site reports, RFI logs, and stakeholder communication
Where this shows up
- New attraction builds: Run schedule and budget across architects, ride OEMs, scenic shops, AV integrators, and park operations from kickoff to soft open.
- Queue-line interactive rollouts: Coordinate fabrication, install, and tech commissioning during park-defined overnight windows without impacting guest operations.
- Refurbishments and re-themes: Compressed scope inside operating parks. We manage the day-by-day choreography that keeps your refresh on the calendar.
Common questions
Do you work inside the park during operating hours?
When authorized by the property, our PMs coordinate work during park-defined overnight windows, seasonal shutdowns, and ride-downtime blocks.
Can you support our owner's representative?
We can support the owner’s designated representative by coordinating with ride OEMs, scenic vendors, and AV integrators under a defined communication and decision matrix.
Do you handle permitting and safety documentation?
We maintain the project documentation assigned to our scope and coordinate permit, LOTO, hot-work, and inspection interfaces with the property, contractors, and authorities responsible for approval.
Related proof and perspective
- Interactive Queue Experiences and Show Control Integration: A major theme park operator needed guest-facing interactive installations coordinated with existing show control infrastructure. Under NDA, we delivered the defined interactive and integration scope with the operator's technical team.
- Interactive Discovery Gallery Systems and Exhibit Integration: A science museum needed a hands-on discovery gallery that could support daily school-group traffic while staying aligned with curatorial and accessibility requirements. We delivered the defined interactive and fabrication scope with the museum's exhibit team.
- Interactive Product Activation for a Multi-City Show Program: A technology manufacturer needed a repeatable product demonstration that could travel between major trade shows. We coordinated the interactive system, branded enclosures, and show-floor installation scope around the approved program schedule.
