DreamCraft Attractions

What DreamCraft Attractions does

DreamCraft Attractions is a Canadian themed entertainment technology company that designs and develops custom virtual reality (VR) hardware and software systems for theme parks, location-based entertainment venues, and production houses. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Victoria, Canada, with 11–50 employees, the company integrates VR, AR, and emerging technologies with physical ride infrastructure to deliver high-throughput immersive attractions. Its core technology is the DreamSet™ modular head-mounted display, a patented system in which the VR display magnetically connects to a washable, sanitizable portion worn by the guest, enabling rapid fitting and removal in high-volume operations. DreamCraft also builds full VR motion simulator control stacks that coordinate ride control programming, tracking, cable management, haptic and force feedback actuators, scent, and wind effects.

The company's business model is project-based enterprise contracting, generating revenue through one-time license and custom development fees for individual attractions, with no disclosed pricing or recurring revenue. It sells primarily through direct enterprise relationships with theme park operators, supplemented by strategic co-development partnerships with attraction design firms. Two flagship installations anchor its portfolio: The Twilight Saga: Midnight Ride at Lionsgate Entertainment World, co-developed with CAVU Designwerks and recipient of a 27th Annual THEA Award, and Battle for Eire, a VR motion simulator at Busch Gardens Williamsburg developed with CAVU Designwerks and Falcons Creative Group. Customer segments are horizontally defined by application (theme parks, LBE, production houses), and the company's stated forward-looking focus is extending its technology base into AR and AI-enabled attractions.
