Why a multi-attraction destination outperforms a single product
Three proven park models. One framework, any scale.
Whether you are developing a community leisure asset or a cross-border destination, Skywalker has a proven park model that matches your available space, budget, and commercial ambitions. All three categories share the same conservative financial model: a 9-month European operational season at 20 operating days per month with buffered OPEX.
Investment ranges reflect variability in site area, element count, and ground preparation. All figures exclude F&B revenues and site infrastructure costs. A site-specific feasibility study will determine the precise figure for your location and produce tailored financial projections based on a conservative 9-month European operational season at 20 operating days per month with buffered OPEX. The feasibility fee is fully credited to the construction contract on project confirmation.
A risk mitigation sequence, not a list of tasks
Most contractors present a quote and begin work. We require a structured sequence before a single post is driven into the ground. Our 7-stage roadmap eliminates hidden costs and guarantees the path to TUV or ERCA certification from day one.
This page describes the project process — the chronological sequence we follow on every engagement. For the disciplines themselves — what each in-house team produces — see our services hub. Process here, disciplines there.
Project Discovery
Every project starts with a conversation about your site, your goals and your timeline. Together we agree a structured project brief and the Stage 2 configuration that fits. Before any drawings, coordinates or projections change hands, a mutual NDA protects both your site data and our designs. No fee, typically a few days, no commitment to proceed.
Pre-Feasibility Site Consultancy
Our engineers spend two days on your site: terrain and structural assessment, attraction zoning, and capacity and ROI modelling on conservative house assumptions. About three weeks later you receive a written executive report — and, where your permits require it, a permit-grade concept drawing. You provide site access and coordination with the site owner.
Design & Engineering
Module 3A (optional) covers site-wide master planning and a one-off design language. Module 3B is always required, per product: structural calculations to the Eurocodes, cable and ride design to EN 15567 (European Ropes Course Standard), hardware specification, drawings and the Construction Book — the document set the product is permitted, certified and built from. Typically 8–12 weeks per product. You provide topographic and geotechnical surveys and any building drawings needed for anchors.
Regulatory & Certification Path
Running in parallel with Stage 3, we prepare the technical submission packages and coordinate with the certifying body (e.g. TÜV), revising the design until any pre-approval conditions are closed. You handle local permits and national filings, including authority and certification-body fees.
Fixed-Price Net Quote
Only after the engineering in Stages 2 and 3 is complete can a binding, itemised Fixed-Price Net Quote be issued. We do not provide ballpark ranges — speculative pricing leads to compromised safety decisions and unpredictable ROI. If you do not know the exact tension of a cable, you cannot accurately quote the steel required to hold it.
Installation & Construction
Skywalker's specialist construction teams arrive on-site to execute the engineering blueprints under strict project management. Proprietary systems — including tree-friendly anchor brackets and pole-based structures — are installed for maximum durability, eco-compliance, and a long-term predictable maintenance budget. Civil engineering, groundworks, and landscaping are sourced locally, ensuring the economic benefits of the park begin during construction.
Commissioning, Training & Lifecycle
The final stage bridges construction and revenue. An independent Site Acceptance Test (SAT) is conducted, your team is trained to ERCA standards under our training & education discipline, and detailed maintenance manuals are delivered. You receive your EN 15567-01 Inaugural Certification and are enrolled in Skywalker's annual inspection programme.
Designed for OPEX efficiency from day one
Competitors deliver a product. Skywalker delivers a business. Our site master planning is engineered around operational expenditure — shared infrastructure, smart product mixes, and zoning strategies that protect your profitability from the moment the gates open.
The building blocks of a cohesive destination
Every Skywalker park is a curated combination of complementary attractions. During master planning, we select the product mix that maximises your demographic reach, throughput capacity, and OPEX efficiency for your specific site and category.
Built as a regional asset, structured as a commercial business
For municipalities, regional development bodies, and public-sector investors, Skywalker delivers under Public-Private Partnership frameworks. The asset is publicly owned and socially accountable; operations are leased to a commercial entity that monetises the visitor economy. This structure maximises both social return and commercial yield — without forcing public bodies to operate a leisure business they aren't equipped for.
