◆ Strategy & Planning · Consultancy

Investor-grade feasibility from the team that builds the parks.

Know whether your site works before you spend on design. In two days on site our engineers assess terrain and structures, zone the attractions, and model capacity and ROI on conservative assumptions. About three weeks later you receive a written executive report.

Whether you are launching a new park, restructuring an established facility, or appraising a site for acquisition, our advisory team brings engineering depth and commercial rigour to move your project forward with documented confidence.

Skywalker consultancy — adventure park feasibility, business case modelling, and ROI analysis
Why our feasibility is different

Feasibility built from real costs — not benchmarks

Pure advisory firms model adventure parks from industry surveys, published benchmarks, and generic templates. We have built them. Our consultants are the engineers, designers, and project managers who have delivered parks across multiple continents — which means our feasibility advice reflects real-world cost and operational data, not spreadsheet theory.

An investor reviewing your business case will ask one question: where do these numbers come from? When the answer is "from the firm that will also engineer and build the park" — not "from a third-party advisor's industry database" — the case becomes meaningfully harder to challenge.

🏗️

Real CAPEX data

Construction costs come from delivered project invoices, not industry estimates. Materials, labour, equipment, and certification — calibrated to your specific build category and geography.

⚙️

Real operational data

Throughput, staffing ratios, OPEX, and revenue patterns drawn from parks we have delivered and supported through their operating life — not extrapolated from leisure-industry survey data.

⚠️

Real risk data

Twenty years of delivery means we know what actually goes wrong on adventure projects — and which mitigations work. Risk analysis grounded in real failure patterns, not academic frameworks.

Benchmarks tell you what the market should support. Build data tells you what your site actually will.Skywalker Consultancy — engagement principle
Our advisory scope

Six consultancy disciplines, one integrated practice

Our consultancy practice covers the commercial validation challenges that arise in developing or restructuring an adventure destination. We deploy whichever combination of disciplines your project requires — engaged independently, or as part of a wider Skywalker delivery.

🔄

Innovation & restructuring

Future-proofing an established facility for shifting guest expectations, competitive pressure, and new revenue channels. Targeted assessments for operators considering refresh or expansion programmes.

📍

Market & catchment analysis

Catchment demographics, school-district mapping, competitive landscape, and willingness-to-pay analysis — the demand side of the business case, modelled from documented attendance patterns.

📊

Business case & financial modelling

CAPEX projections, OPEX schedules, revenue modelling, and the integrated financial model that gives your investors and lenders a defensible go/no-go basis.

📈

ROI analysis & payback windows

Sensitivity scenarios, payback windows by investment category, IRR, EBITDA margin projection, and the stress-test analysis your finance committee will run before signing.

📢

Operations & staffing

Staffing models, ride-operator ratios, training needs and opening-season planning, so the operating budget in your business case matches how the park will actually run.

🛡️

Risk, regulatory & IP protection

Mutual NDA from the first briefing. Compliance pathway under EN 15567 and applicable local frameworks. Commercial and operational risk analysis. Your concept and financial data are treated as proprietary assets throughout.

How to engage us

Three engagement formats

Consultancy engagements are scoped before work begins, so you know what arrives and when. Most clients begin with one of the three formats below. Each can be commissioned as a standalone engagement, or rolled into a wider Skywalker delivery if the project progresses.

1
Pre-Feasibility Site Consultancy
2 days on site · report in about 3 weeks

Stage 2 site assessment

Two engineers on site: terrain and structural assessment, attraction zoning, and a capacity and ROI model on conservative assumptions, delivered as a written executive report — with a permit-grade concept drawing where your permit requires one.

You provide: site access, coordination with the site owner and travel logistics. The fee is credited in full against a subsequent Skywalker construction contract.
2
Zipline Feasibility Scan
5–10 working days

Desk-based line simulation

A line simulation from your GPS coordinates: speed profile, braking zone and the rider weight range your line can carry, before anyone travels to site.

You provide: coordinates and elevations of the start and end points.
3
Retained advisory
Scoped per engagement

Ongoing reviews for existing parks

Periodic reviews of capacity, operations and expansion options for parks already operating, using your own operating data.

You provide: operating data and access for site reviews.
Where consultancy sits in our services

Consultancy validates whether to build. Master Planning designs how it fits.

You are here

Consultancy

Answers: should we build this at all? Owns the commercial feasibility question — market sizing, business case, financial model, risk analysis, and the go / no-go decision. Outputs feed the master planning brief.

Downstream service

Master Planning

Answers: given a go decision, what fits this site and how does it operate? Owns the spatial and operational feasibility question — site geometry, attraction mix, flow, throughput, vendor selection, 3D walkthrough.

Where consultancy leads

Consultancy starts at Stage 2 of the 7-Stage Roadmap. A pre-feasibility is not a master plan or a final CAPEX: those follow in Stage 3, quoted on what our engineers saw on your site. The Stage 2 fee is credited in full against a subsequent Skywalker construction contract.
