Scenario is a privately held scenic theming contractor that designs, fabricates, and installs themed environments, show sets, IP character figures, rockwork, facades, architectural ornamentation, decorative metals, graphics, signage, scenic painting, and play spaces for global theme park operators, IP owners, and resort developers. The company delivers projects through four integrated service lines — Program Management, Technical Design & Engineering (including BIM coordination, virtual reality pre-visualization, and structural engineering), Turnkey Project Delivery, and Construction Management — supported by vertically integrated in-house fabrication capabilities spanning FRP/GRP, GFRC, vacuforming, carpentry/millwork, structural metals with certified welders, CNC/waterjet/robotic milling, 3D printing, plaster/shotcrete sculptors, polyurethane foam sculptors, and scenic paint.
Scenario operates through eight international offices: Los Angeles (design studio), Orlando (5,500 m² production center), Hong Kong (Asia regional office), Bangkok, Manila (502 m² design center), Zhongshan (7,200 m² fabrication facility), Macau (Scenario Macau Limited), and Tokyo (Kajima Akasaka Annex liaison). The business model is bespoke, quote-based, multi-year project contracting with no recurring SaaS, licensing, or transaction revenue; each engagement is a custom design/build with construction management. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by project scope, geography, and complexity. Named enterprise clients include Disney (multiple divisions), Universal Creative, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, Resorts World Sentosa, and Lai Sun Development, with marquee projects such as Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Shanghai Disneyland, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and Cars Land earning multiple TEA Thea Awards and ABC Excellence in Construction Awards between 2003 and 2021.
The company is wholly owned by Kajima Corporation (a publicly listed Japanese construction conglomerate) via the Kajima Cockram International (KCI) Group, giving Scenario access to parent-company financial discipline, governance, and global infrastructure.

Product offeringCore offering
Scenario is a turnkey scenic theming contractor that designs, fabricates, and installs themed environments, show sets, IP-based characters and figures, props, rockwork, facades, architectural ornamentation, decorative metals, graphics, signage, and play spaces for theme parks, attractions, and themed environments. The company delivers end-to-end project services spanning program management, technical design and engineering (including pre-visualization, VR design, and BIM coordination), construction management, and turnkey project delivery — backed by vertically integrated in-house fabrication capabilities covering FRP/GRP, GFRC, vacuforming, CNC/waterjet/robotic milling, 3D printing, structural metals, and scenic painting.
Product overview
Scenario operates as a single unified turnkey show contracting business rather than a multi-product software platform, organized around two integrated offering areas: a portfolio of service lines (Program Management, Technical Design & Engineering, Turnkey Project Delivery, and Construction Management) and an in-house production capability stack spanning Show Sets, Props and Iconic Features; IP Animated & Static Figures; Rockwork Production; Architectural Ornamentations; Facades; Decorative Metals and Railings; Graphics and Signage; Scenic Painting & Finishing; and Play Spaces. These two halves are tightly coupled — the service lines (which include BIM coordination, virtual reality pre-visualization, and design-build delivery) drive the shop-qualified production capabilities (FRP/GRP, GFRC, vacuforming, carpentry and millwork, structural and decorative metals, CNC/WJ/robotic milling, 3D printing, plaster/shotcrete sculpting, polyurethane foam sculpting, and scenic paint) that are executed across vertical assets in Orlando, Bangkok, Zhongshan, Manila, and Hong Kong. Together they constitute Scenario's end-to-end themed attraction, theme park, and themed environment delivery offering for clients such as Disney, Universal, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, and Resorts World Sentosa.
