KCL Engineering, a leader in custom lighting solutions, has chosen Ride Entertainment as its attractions industry sales partner.

Iowa-based KCL burst onto the scene this year with three notable projects at Adventureland Park, the most innovative being a first of its kind LED lighting system on the park’s new Gerstlauer roller coaster, The Monster.

The coaster, which stands 131ft tall, can be seen throughout the park by day, and at night the ground and track-mounted lights make the attraction a focal point. Beyond an illumination solution, on a coaster designed to confuse riders, the lighting systems adds another layer of intrigue and unpredictability.

“When Adventureland shared the concept for The Monster, we had a vision to bring the entire structure to life through dynamic track lighting,” said Kris the ride’s lead lighting designer.

“Perhaps the fact that this was our first large-scale ride lighting project worked in our favour as we truly felt no limitations. We simply came up with an idea and engineered our way to it.”

KCL is no stranger to working on high-profile projects worldwide. The company has implemented LED solutions for Yankee Stadium, Safeco Field and numerous skyscrapers around the globe.

Adam Sandy, chief business development officer at Ride Entertainment, said: “We are always on the lookout for innovation in the attractions industry and what they created for Adventureland was unlike anything I have seen. We are thrilled to see where they take their unique illumination concepts next.”
