What Dynamic Attractions does

Dynamic Attractions, operating commercially as Dynamic Entertainment, is a privately-held theme park ride development and engineering firm headquartered in Orlando, Florida with offices in Vancouver, Dallas, Shanghai, and Zhongshan. The company designs and manufactures three core ride system platforms — Flying Theater, Motion Theater, and Robotic Arm-based rides — and integrates these with in-house media production and attraction design capabilities to deliver turnkey attractions from concept through opening day.

The business serves major theme park operators and integrated entertainment venues worldwide, with a named customer roster spanning Disney, Universal, Six Flags, Cedar Fair, SeaWorld, Warner Bros., Chimelong, Dreamworld, Trans Studio, Royal Caribbean, Kemah Boardwalk, Resorts World Sentosa, Doha Oasis Quest, Knotts Berry Farm, and Busch Gardens. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time custom ride system contracts, turnkey attraction development projects, hardware parts sales and service work (including AIMS-, NAARSO-, and ASTM-certified maintenance and rehabilitation), licensing and royalty arrangements through the Co-Venture program, and professional engineering services for adjacent complex-structure applications such as telescope enclosures.

The company combines direct enterprise sales with a distinctive Co-Venture distribution model that partners with top tourist venues to place signature rides at locations worldwide. Engineering, R&D, advanced manufacturing, and pre-installation mock-up testing are conducted in-house, and IP is actively protected to keep attractions differentiated. The firm operates globally, with North America as its anchor market and Asia-Pacific as a stated growth geography.
