In the world of amusement and themed entertainment, the pursuit of innovation never stops. Park operators are constantly searching for rides that break boundaries, captivate guests, and deliver unforgettable thrills — not just once, but every time.

With its century-long legacy of engineering brilliance and a clear passion for innovation, Maurer Rides has redefined what a roller coaster can be through its revolutionary Spike® Coaster Technology. Available exclusively in Australia through Kubri Engineered Solutions, this game-changing ride system opens up new dimensions of excitement, personalization, and performance — both for amusement parks and beyond.

A Legacy of Innovation: The Maurer Story

Since 1876, Maurer has built a reputation for pioneering steel engineering and ride systems, completing over 100 roller coaster projects worldwide. Every project has contributed to refining their technology, driven by a core philosophy: a passion for the new.

From traditional thrill rides to interactive racing coasters and advanced cargo transport, Maurer’s Spike® platform showcases the company’s unique ability to merge technical excellence with engaging experiences — all tailored to specific environments.

What is Spike® Coaster Technology?

Spike® Coaster technology is Maurer’s proprietary gear-driven rail system that gives riders or operators full control over acceleration and deceleration. Unlike traditional gravity-driven coasters, Spike® systems are powered — meaning the experience is active, not passive.

Each Spike® ride is built on a modular platform, enabling customization for speed, layout, theme, and application — from family rides to high-thrill launches or even industrial transport.
