Venezuela Train and Christmas Ride Project

This order solved two problems at once: moving guests around a large site all year, and creating a festive attraction for the holiday season.

The park took a 72 seat diesel tourist train for daily transport duty, then built its Christmas season around two themed rides: a Christmas tree ride as the centrepiece and a 16 seat Christmas self control plane for younger children.

All figures are reference values and are confirmed in the engineering proposal for your site. The train runs on diesel power, chosen for a long outdoor route and simple refuelling. See Diesel engine.

A tourist train earns twice: it carries guests between zones, reducing walking fatigue, and it is itself a family ride with children queuing for the front carriage. The route was planned with stations at the entrance, the middle of the site and the far end, with boarding kept clear of the main walkway.

The Christmas tree ride was specified with a full lighting and music package so the park could sell an evening event as well as daytime visits. Seasonal attractions raise revenue per guest because visitors come specifically for the atmosphere, and photographs do free marketing.

The second seasonal unit is a Christmas self control plane – eight cars carrying sixteen children around a twelve metre layout. Each car lifts on the rider’s own control, so the youngest guests set their own height and the ride keeps cycling without an operator resetting it.

It shares the power supply and the lighting programme with the tree ride: 12 kW at 380 V, a 9.3 m rotation diameter and a 4.5 m equipment height including the fence, which let both rides sit inside the same fenced holiday zone.

All three units shipped together, which meant one installation programme and one crew on site. The train route was prepared while the seasonal ride foundations were poured, and all of it was commissioned before the holiday season began.

The train runs daily with a scheduled service, while the two seasonal rides become the focus for a defined period and are maintained in between. Operators planning a similar combination often start from our trackless tourist train range and add themed attractions for each season.

You decide the look, we keep the engineering standard: Route, carriage design, ride theme and lighting.

The same amusement equipment factory that builds the ride also ships it, documents it and supports it – 125,000 square metres of production space and a documentation package local inspectors can use. Project work includes layout drawings, phased equipment lists and documentation you can hand straight to a local contractor.

Give us the site details and the deadline you are working to – we will map the phases, the equipment and the cost outline against it.
