Airtime for All
The Airtime Coaster redefines the family roller coaster experience, delivering unforgettable, cross-generational moments of shared joy and excitement. Current technology has been refined on highest level, creating a truly state-of-the-art roller coaster that thrills riders of all ages.
Description of originality or uniqueness:
The Airtime Coaster fills a previously untapped segment between traditional family coasters and high-thrill attractions, offering a ride experience that is both exhilarating and broadly accessible. No other coaster concept currently addresses this middle ground with such precision.
Mechanical engineers and industrial designers worked closely together from the outset to ensure that function and design evolved hand in hand.
Key elements such as the lap bar, seat, seat frame, and vehicle cladding were shaped not only for technical performance, but also for comfort, ergonomics, and a recognizable design signature.
Argo by Novus Attractions is a smart Mini-Golf system that fuses precision sensing, dynamic visuals, and real-time software into a turnkey attraction. Each hole integrates sensors in the ball, tee, pathways, and hole to detect strokes, routes, and outcomes, feeding instant scores to a large sideline screen. Operators can switch projection-mapped themes on every hole, even in minutes, to match events, seasons, occasions or
sponsorships, keeping the experience fresh for repeat play. Beyond pure gameplay, Argo includes built-in quizzes, challenges, and tournament modes to deepen engagement and expand the target audience to Gen Z and Gen Alpha. A smart queue manager balances traffic by directing groups to open holes, reducing wait times and increasing hourly throughput. Compared with earlier prototypes and conventional Mini-Golf, the
latest Argo streamlines calibration, strengthens wireless reliability, and adds richer analytics for operator dashboards, covering play volume, dwell time, popular themes, and holes. The system ships with a library of 19 course designs and supports custom shapes (e.g., brand silhouettes), enabling venues to differentiate visually and commercially. Argo is delivered as CapEx + SaaS, with optional content packs and advertising
placements on the in-venue display to unlock new revenue streams.
