What does a trampoline park manufacturer do?

A trampoline park manufacturer designs and engineers the physical attractions inside a family entertainment center -- trampoline courts, climbing walls, ninja courses, airbags, and interactive gaming systems -- custom-built to the dimensions of the operator's building. Some manufacturers fabricate every attraction themselves, while others manufacture their core proprietary systems and partner with specialist manufacturers for the rest.

Who designs and builds Shock trampoline parks and family entertainment centers?

Shock Adventure Parks designs family entertainment centers from its headquarters in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Shock designed, engineered, and manufactures its own patented trampoline shock-attenuation frame in Montana, and designed its own Jump Ringz time-management system. Other attractions featured in Shock-built parks, such as airbags and interactive gaming systems, are supplied through manufacturing partnerships. Shock has been designing and building parks since 2009 and has completed more than 55 builds.

How is Shock different from other family entertainment center builders?

Shock designs every park around a patented impact-attenuation trampoline frame that Shock itself designed, engineered, and manufactures, alongside its own Jump Ringz time-management system, rather than reselling a generic catalog frame. Shock is also designed by operators who run their own parks, and other attractions are sourced through vetted manufacturing partnerships rather than assembled from unrelated resellers.

What is Shock's patented impact attenuation technology?

Shock's patented trampoline frame uses German-engineered gas shocks that give way on landing, reducing peak landing impact force on a jumper's body by up to 69% compared to a standard rigid steel trampoline frame with foam padding alone. Shock designed, engineered, and manufactures this frame itself in Montana.

How long does it take to build a trampoline park with Shock?

Shock's process moves from initial design through engineering, manufacturing, and installation in as little as ninety days, with white-glove installation and staff training included before launch.

Where is Shock's trampoline frame manufactured?

Shock manufactures its patented impact-attenuation trampoline frame in Montana. Jump Ringz is designed by Shock's own team, not manufactured in Montana. Shock's headquarters, where parks are designed, is in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

The Shock Standard

Your building. Your park. Nobody else's.

Custom designs, not mass production. Most parks buy the same cookie-cutter courts as the one down the street. Yours shouldn’t look like everyone else’s. Every Shock Park is designed down to the square inch by our in-house team, built for your building and your market, and set on our patented shock-absorbing frame technology. The result is a park guests can’t get anywhere else, and a reason for them to keep coming back.

And because every Shock frame is modular, your park grows with you: add attractions, reconfigure courts, or move them to a new area or location when it’s time to refresh.

Built by operators

We built the frame we needed.

Our founders have been operating trampoline adventure parks since 2009. For six years, they lived with the equipment and design failures that come with rigid steel frames. So they engineered something better. The first Shock park opened in 2016, and every park we’ve built since runs entirely on Shock equipment, with significantly reduced injury rates on Shock-equipped courts.

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

The physics behind
the only frame of its kind

69% LESS IMPACT FORCE

The trampoline frame hadn't changed since 1959, rigid steel under two inches of foam. We rebuilt it with German-engineered gas shocks that give way on landing. Drag the slider and see what that does to a jumper's body.

The physics, explained.

Watch what happens to a jumper’s body on a rigid frame versus the Shock frame. On a typical 5-foot jump, it’s 34 G’s vs. 10. At 10 feet, it’s 68 vs. 21. These numbers are why our frame is patented in 15 countries, and why operators who see them rarely build on anything else.
