Our Proof Point
Universal Beijing Resort — a TEA Thea Award winner — opened in September 2021. When COVID-19 prevented international teams from entering China, Riocube stepped in to ensure the park delivered on time and to standard.
Our contributions extended to two of its signature attractions: How to Train Your Dragon — The Untrainable and Jurassic World Adventure, both recipients of the TEA Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement.
At the opening ceremony, our founding family was honoured as invited guests. That moment is what we build toward every day.

Our Story
Riocube was founded on a simple conviction: Asia's themed entertainment industry deserved an engineering partner who could bridge Western theme park standards with Chinese engineering capability and speed.
In January 2020, COVID-19 changed everything. When Universal Beijing Resort's international teams couldn't reach China, Riocube stepped in — ensuring the park delivered on time. When the gates opened in September 2021, our founding team was honored to attend as invited guests at the opening ceremony.
That story is what we are: a partner who shows up — especially when it matters most.

Core Capabilities
Riocube Technology delivers the technical systems that keep themed attractions running safely, reliably, and compellingly — day after day, year after year.
Custom PLC-based ride and show control systems designed to international safety standards. From block control to show programming — we build the logic that runs the attraction.
Safety system design, SIL assessment, and functional safety engineering for themed rides and attractions. Compliance with EN 13814 and international safety frameworks.
Guest-facing interactive systems — from dark ride shooting games to sensor-triggered show elements. Technology that turns passive guests into active participants.
What We Provide
Riocube Service keeps theme parks moving. From parts supply to on-site maintenance and retrofit upgrades — we are the operational backbone for park operators in China and beyond.
Supply of standard and custom-manufactured attraction components. Fast turnaround, traceable sourcing, and compatibility-verified parts to minimise attraction downtime.
Scheduled and reactive maintenance services for ride systems and show elements. Our technicians combine engineering knowledge with hands-on workshop capability.
Life-extension and technology-upgrade services for existing attractions. We modernise legacy systems to improve performance, safety, and guest experience.
Bring Stories to Life
Xcube specialises in show elements that demand the highest safety standards. Animation Figures, Special Effects, and Show Action Equipment (SAE) all share a critical requirement: they perform in close proximity to guests, every single day. Engineering discipline is not optional — it is the foundation.
Full-body animatronic characters and figures with articulated movement, synchronized audio, and lifelike expressions. Engineered to perform reliably night after night in demanding theme park environments.
Practical and controlled special effects — fire, water, fog, wind, and pyrotechnic elements — designed and integrated with strict safety protocols for guest-proximate show environments.
SAE bridges engineering and artistry — mechanical show systems that perform with attraction-grade reliability and the expressiveness of a live performer. Safety-rated, show-ready, guest-proven.
