Vekoma Rides
Operator training & safety instruction
Vekoma Rides is a Dutch manufacturer of roller coasters and attractions, with projects around the world. In addition to designing and building rides, Vekoma provides practical training to help operators and maintenance teams work safely and effectively.
The brief
Develop a series of training videos to familiarize operators and maintenance staff with the operation, maintenance and safety systems of a roller coaster. The videos needed to make technical information accessible and prepare employees for their daily responsibilities.
Approach
Working closely with Vekoma's trainers, we identified the essential topics for safe operation and maintenance. These ranged from daily inspections and routine procedures to recognizing potential risks and responding to exceptional situations, including evacuations. We translated this knowledge into a series of instructional videos, each with a clear focus and specific learning objective.
Result
A series of seven practical training videos used by Vekoma to instruct operators and maintenance staff worldwide. The videos provide a consistent and accessible way to communicate important technical and safety information.
Worth noting
Filming took place at a large amusement park in Poland. Thanks to the cooperation of the local staff, we were able to capture all the necessary footage in just one week. And after spending an entire week surrounded by roller coasters, the park's background music was still playing in our heads long after we returned home.
