From Concept to Commissioning

We provide Design and Engineering Services and Technical Management for all project phases, from concept development through post-opening support, and everything in between.

Owner's Representation

Monitor, evaluate, and recommend action during a project life cycle including co-development of scope, budget, schedule, vendor pre-qualification, proposal evaluation, reviewing design, engineering, and production, witness testing, monitor installation and commissioning.

Technical Management

Provide technical oversight to a project team with focus on defining technical requirements early in the process, optimizing solutions to reduce risk and mitigating issues before problems occur, based on years of experience.

Blue Sky & Concept Design

Support the creative and technical intent by developing a mechanical and control system design that is suitable for contracting the final design and implementation.

Specialty Show Effects & Equipment

Develop concepts, iterate, perform mockups, and complete detailed design and analysis of durable and safe show action equipment, animated props/figures, atmospheric effects, and other specialized systems that meet unique creative and technical requirements.

Prototype Vehicle Design & Innovation

Develop leading-edge vehicle solutions for use in themed ride systems, people movers, and other specialty applications using existing and new technologies.

Research & Development

Manage all stages of the design development process from concept through market release. Satisfy novel technical requirements through the development of new technology or the misapplication of existing technology.

Full-Spectrum Engineering

We take an all-inclusive view of our client's project to understand the established expectations of all stakeholders and identify specific risks to budget, performance, schedule, and safety to ensure project success.

Key Benefits to Engaging The TWT Group

Specialized Expertise

The TWT Group brings deep domain knowledge and specialized skills that may not exist within your organization. Our location-based entertainment expertise can be invaluable for the successful development of complex ride and show systems and the creation of novel guest experiences.

Objective Perspective

As an outside party, the TWT Group provides an objective, unbiased perspective on technical challenges, solutions, and best practices. We are not bound by internal biases, preconceived notions, or supplier preferences — and that often leads to innovative, cost-effective solutions.

Cost-Effectiveness

Engaging us for specific projects can be more cost-effective than maintaining a full-time staff of show-ride experts. You only pay for the required expertise — without the long-term overhead. Our top experts bill at a higher hourly rate, but customers find we are highly cost-effective because we identify and fix problems early and do things right the first time.

Risk Mitigation

The TWT Group has a proven track record developing the most complex ride-show systems. Our decades of experience help mitigate risks associated with demanding technical projects — scope creep, budget overruns, and implementation failures.

Staffing Flexibility

Our team can be engaged for a specific project duration, providing staffing flexibility and scalability. This allows our clients to adapt to dynamic project schedules, changing direction, and optimize resource allocation — particularly during early concept and schematic phases.

Knowledge Transfer

As part of your project team, we transfer our knowledge and skills to your growing project teams, building their capabilities for future projects.
