What Technical Park does

Technical Park is an Italian amusement ride manufacturer founded in 1980 and headquartered in Melara (Rovigo), Italy, operating as TECHNICAL PARK Srl di Martini Fabio e C., indicating family ownership. With 51-100 employees, the company designs, engineers, fabricates, and sells custom amusement attractions including panoramic Ferris wheels ranging from 15 to 100 meters, roller coasters and flume rides, family rides, and high-intensity thrill rides such as ejector seats, swing towers, and 360-degree rotation attractions. The product portfolio also includes a Virtual Interactivity category integrating VR, AR, and mixed reality, supported by an in-house Creative Lab that delivers custom theming and IP integration (e.g., Peppa Pig Balloon Ride, Cacau Show installations) and ADA-compliant accessible gondola designs used since 2005. A proprietary GREEN e-Motion regenerative braking system recovers and returns energy to the grid during panoramic wheel operation, and the company holds ISO 9001 quality certification.

Technical Park monetizes primarily through bespoke new-ride hardware sales, supplemented by a refurbished/used-ride marketplace, a spare-parts aftermarket tied to its installed base of 160+ units across more than 30 countries on five continents, and professional theming/design services from the Creative Lab. Pricing is quote-based, with each project scoped to customer specifications, and commercial engagement runs through direct enterprise field sales supported by major industry trade shows (IAAPA Expo Orlando, IAAPA Europe, Euro Attraction Show). Customer concentration is distributed across traditional theme parks, amusement parks, traveling fairs, brand/IP-driven theme parks, and municipal/public entertainment venues.

Recent strategic activity includes a seven-ride contract for the €300 million Cacau Park development in Brazil (2025 opening targeted for 2027), 2024 launches of the Drone Race and Jet Fighter attractions, continued international reference wins at parks such as Legoland Billund, Merlin's Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida, FRAISPERTUIS CITY France, 20th Century Fox World Malaysia, and Sochi Park Russia, and an active award track record including Park World Excellence Awards 2022 and European Star Awards 2021 and 2018.
