Maurer Rides GmbH introduced the SPIKE Platform, combining proven technologies within a common modular architecture to develop interactive roller coasters, high-capacity concepts like SPIKE Train and SPIKE Tandem, and new experiences.

In their 30-year history, Maurer Amusement Rides have produced over 100, mostly individually designed rides. In addition to the various forms of classic roller coasters, many innovative and unique rides were designed and built. An extensive range of technical solutions has emerged that justify the reputation of the Maurer rides as exceptional premium coasters. Since the beginning, Maurer Rides regularly pioneered the development of revolutionary new technologies, which later became the market standard. In 2004, for example, the Maurer X-Car was the world's first system for inverted rides without a shoulder restraint. Innovative track figures can be designed with the help of the self-developed multi-body simulation package XTRAC and the track tubes are bent three-dimensionally with the Maurer XBEND method in unprecedented precision. The introduction of the revolutionary Spike® drive technology represents a milestone in several sectors in the development of rail-bound transport systems. www.spike.de Numerous awards and patents underline the status of technology and innovation leader.
