A revolutionary ride system doesn't happen overnight.
The technology and safety features we've packed into the Switchback® ride system have been developed over many years. The team at Holmes Solutions first introduced our world-first cable-to-rail technology back in 2017.
Over the years we've worked hard to expand enhancements and innovations for Switchback. We continue to add to our risk mitigation features - working to ensure that Switchback is a ride system that can provide all of the thrills while still adhering to our high level of safety behind the scenes.
Our approach calls for meticulous attention to detail, an application of New Zealand's famous "kiwi ingenuity", and a tremendous amount of testing - both in our lab, and out in the real world.
As with any challenge we set out to solve, we start out small and build our way up. Below is just a glimpse of the work that has gone into Switchback - from simple proof of concepts to the robust ride platform available today.
