Simtec Systems

Simtec Systems, German engineering for motion and simulation

Simtec Systems is a German company based in Braunschweig, specialising in motion platforms, simulators and immersive attractions. Founded in 1989, it works across entertainment, flight simulation, industrial testing and experiences such as flying theaters or simulator rides.

In Phantasialand’s history, Simtec is especially relevant through its link with Galaxy and later Race for Atlantis, two attractions that show how important simulator-based experiences became in the 1990s and 2000s. For visitors, this kind of manufacturer suggests a ride where images, cabin movement and synchronised effects create the feeling of travelling in a different way from a classic physical track.
