Spideyfreak Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I was just wondering if anyone here lived near a ride design company? I live just a few minutes away from Premier Rides. You can tell that they don't want the general public to know where they are located as they are on the backside of an office building. Pretty cool, huh?
ParkTrips Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Your ass-kicking shades are cooler I live in the middle of nowhere, there ain't any designers out here.
SharkTums Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I live near TechFX (I think that's their name)...anyways they do a lot of effects in/on rides. They did some of the Mummy stuff, I believe some Poseidon stuff, and lots of randomness. I think I might go ask them for a tour of their facility at some point.
DragonKhan Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 B&M and Intamin are about an hour away from where I usually live...
Mind Eraser Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I live in Maryland, about 20 minutes from Millersville - which is home to Premier Rides and Intamin. Intamin also has an office in Glen Burnie, about 10-15 minutes from my house, under a different name, Intaride. -kip-
ScOtT k Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 I think wisdom rides is based somewhere out of colorado...
Erik Johnson Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Zibits does not do rides, but they have done a bunch of themeing for rides for IOA and Disney. http://www.zibitsstudios.com/ Its owned by one of my Dad's best friends, maybe I could do a Photo TR of it sometime, never really thought of it before.
Angry_Gumball Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 D. H. Morgan Manufacturing, Inc. is about an hour away from me.
arrowfanman Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 WDI is a half an hour away from me, and I know they have outsourced stuff to companies in the Valencia Industrial Center. Thats where the Indy ride vehicles were programmed.
YoshiFan Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 I live about 25 minutes away from the Philadelphia Toboggan Company
Jew Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Elissa-the company is Technifex. As for me, I guess you can say WDI and Universal Creative are about 20 minutes from me...not that Universal Creative's offices are terribly exciting or anything.
USRoadTripper Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 I'm in the same city as Ital...can I join the club? -Julie
roeterich Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 OK I'll beat you all: I live less then 10 miles away from the VEKOMA headquaters in Vlodrop/Netherlands. Never been there, though Sebastian"Please feel sorry for me "Rötten
coaster1 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Let's see .. Giovanola and Fabbri both have offices in Arlington, about 41 miles from me and LARC has their office about 30 miles south of me, they do park layouts and such, nice people.
