ROLLER COASTER ENGINEERING DESIGN BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

Vector Dynamics Engineering (name reflects our focus on multi-axis motion and force vectors) is an Orlando-based engineering consultancy in the amusement-ride sector. We design and certify high-performance roller coasters and flat rides for the U.S. market. Our core services are conceptual design, detailed structural blueprints, and safety certification. We deliver fabrication-ready designs using high-performance computing and advanced dynamic simulation to maximize thrill while meeting or exceeding regulatory safety standards. One line: we turn ride concepts into certified, buildable reality.

We operate as an independent partner to parks, developers, and manufacturers, producing CAD, FEA, motion simulation, and certification packages. Target customers are regional and destination parks, family entertainment centers, and ride manufacturers seeking third-party design and certification. Launching in 2026, our short-term goal is to win six pilot projects by year-end 2027; long-term goal is to be a recognized U.S. standard for ride thrill-safety integration and expand certification services nationally by 2030. One line: we combine elite engineering and neutral partnership to accelerate safe, thrilling attractions.

Problem

Amusement park operators lack specialized engineering expertise to convert next-generation attraction concepts into fabrication-ready designs that meet U.S. safety and regulatory standards.

This gap causes longer development cycles, frequent design revisions, higher regulatory noncompliance risk, and difficulty integrating creative storytelling with mechanical systems because parks typically do not have in-house advanced dynamic simulation or specialist structural engineering for ride dynamics.

Existing suppliers and generic engineering firms often miss the balance between peak rider intensity and certification needs, so parks need an independent engineering partner that reliably converts bold concepts into safe, buildable ride designs.

Solution

Parks need independent, world-class engineering to turn bold ride concepts into safe, buildable attractions that meet ASTM F24 standards without manufacturer lock-in; we deliver end-to-end engineering and design from concept through safety certification to close that gap.

We model G‑forces, run FEA, produce fabrication-ready blueprints, manage ASTM F24 documentation, and coordinate manufacturing handoff to reduce delays, safety risk, and budget overruns.

Mission Statement

We engineer the future of thrill by combining world-class technical precision with creative storytelling to deliver the safest and most exhilarating amusement attractions. We commit to safety and innovation, using advanced simulation and rigorous standards so every design creates unforgettable rider experiences and reliable returns for park owners. We turn ambitious visions into operational reality with measurable safety, performance, and investment outcomes.

Key Success Factors

Success hinges on technical excellence, validated tooling, financial milestones, major-client reputation, and improving marketing efficiency.

• Core engineering team with deep ASTM F24 safety-standards expertise.
• $120,000 in HPC workstations and $95,000 in advanced CAD for superior technical analysis.
• Break-even in May 2027 to secure long-term operational stability.
• Track record with major park chains driving the path to $5,858,000 revenue by 2030.
• Reduce CAC from $15,000 to $7,500 to prove brand strength and marketing efficiency.

Financial Summary

Compact five-year financial trajectory showing rapid revenue and EBITDA growth with measured investment and low single-digit returns.

Financial requirements: total disclosed capital expenditures of $545,000 and a minimum cash buffer of $97,000. Anticipated payback is 41 months with break-even in May-27; reported IRR is 3.7% and ROE is 5.15%.

Overall outlook: strong top-line and EBITDA scale, modest investor returns against a disciplined cost base.

Funding Requirements

We require $912,000 in startup funding to cover capital equipment, the first‑year operating shortfall, and a minimum cash reserve to reach break‑even in May 2027.

Projected revenue grows from $689,000 in 2026 to $5,858,000 by 2030; EBITDA moves from a $270,000 loss in year one to $2,999,000 in year five, with break‑even at 17 months, payback in 41 months, ROE 5.15%, and IRR 3.7%.
