Ride & attraction concepts
From the first story to the final render, I design rides to create memories, enhance experiences and make people say “wow”, combining hands-on engineering with creative storytelling.
The approach
It’s not just the ride. It’s the whole journey.
Starting with a story
A ride’s story matters as much as the ride. Theming, effects and interactivity set the scene, and the ride is the finale to a pre-show that should be just as impressive.
Getting technical
Hands-on experience with rides, technical drawings and ride assemblies lets me design with precision and turn ideas into workable concepts.
Thinking outside the box
Not just existing technology. I look for entirely new solutions and new ways for guests to experience a ride.
Self-taught, hands-on
What started as a hobby became a hands-on learning challenge, diving in at the deep end to master the software step by step.
Lanzar
The world’s most forceful vertical launch coasterConcept
My very first project: a high-speed shuttle on a space mission never attempted until now.
Riders sit vertically for a pre-show of lasers, projection and intelligent lighting inside a futuristic space station. Then something goes wrong. The comms fail, the vehicle shakes and rolls backwards, and suddenly launches outside where the rest of the ride takes place.
- Compressed-air launch technology for unmatched acceleration, unachievable by LSM or LIM systems
- World-first vertical hold, pre-launch pre-show sequence
- Reviving the spectacle of Strata coasters
Obelisk
Tower ride conceptConcept
Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Obelisk explores entirely new ways for guests to experience a tower ride, rather than reusing existing systems.
The tower, carriages and mechanisms were engineered in 3D, from the structural frame through to the rider seating.
- New ride system concept, designed from scratch
- Detailed 3D structural and mechanical modelling
- Custom vehicle and seating design
Curve
Ride re-vamp proposalProposal
A proposed re-vamp of an existing ride for Blackpool Pleasure Beach, reimagining its look, lighting and presentation to give the attraction a new lease of life.
- Proposed for Blackpool Pleasure Beach
- Full re-theme with lighting and set design
- Rendered in 3D to sell the concept

The Mist
A fully enclosed coaster combining a horrifying, mist-filled environment with high-speed thrills, custom elements and hidden surprises.
- Delivered
Valhalla projection show
A custom video-mapped projection show on the facade of Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, designed and project managed by me.
Let’s build

Got a ride, attraction or experience in the works? I’d love to hear about it.
