Ride Entertainment has begun representing Metallbau-Emmeln GmbH of Germany. The company, which fabricates amusement rides, controlled-entry systems and shipping containers, has been in business nearly 40 years.
Metallbau-Emmeln features traditional amusement rides like swinging ships and guided-car rides, but also ride concepts not found in many U.S. parks like the Pony Trek. This family ride allows children to have their own adventure riding a mechanical horse around a pre-determined course.
Metallbau’s Managing Director Franz Lohmann said, “We have known Ride Entertainment for a long time and are pleased to work together. Partnering with Ride Entertainment as a representative for North America will allow us to introduce our amusement rides to parks, along with our philosophy of building quality German rides that can be enjoyed by children and their parents. Before partnering with Ride Entertainment a small number of North American parks have purchased our rides. We trust that the partnership of Ride Entertainment and Metallbau-Emmeln will be a successful one that will result in amusement parks in North America getting to know our products, which provide fun to children and their parents in parks all over the world.”
North American customers interested in learning more about the Metallbau-Emmeln line can visit Ride Entertainment at the IAAPA Exhibition, booth 3427.
