23rd March 2020 –
Social distancing, travel restrictions, and a global prohibition on public gatherings are wreaking havoc on the location-based entertainment industry. While we haven’t seen anything like this before, at CAVU and DreamCraft Attractions, we are confident that humanity will pull through and come out stronger and better on the other side.
Our main message today is to share our gratitude: many of you made the difficult decision to close your business, ensuring our communities stay home to slow the spread of COVID-19. Thank you for considering the impact on your team members, and thank you for recognizing that today’s challenges will become tomorrow’s opportunities. We appreciate that your decision was extremely difficult, and we’re grateful you chose what was best for your team and community.
“Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team.” -Steve Jobs
How are CAVU and DreamCraft using this time to prepare for your future?
Working from the safety of our home offices, where we can ensure we’re doing our part to #FlattenTheCurve, our team of engineers are working on new ways to improve the current technology to fuel the attractions of tomorrow. We’re looking at new ways to tell old stories, unique approaches to put a modern twist on classic tech, and new concepts that will engage your audiences better than ever before.
When life is back to normal, and people have put this pandemic behind them, we want you to have access to new rides, built on advanced engineering and technology, to offer experiences your guests can’t even imagine. And we can’t wait to share them with you.

Streamlined processes for better communications
One of the benefits of the forced transition to remote working is it gives our teams the gift of time to improve our ability to connect remotely. We have some exciting news about that coming very soon – stay connected to learn how we are implementing technology that will help your teams have better and easier access to our engineers.
“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today” -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
We are your partners, now and forever
When you’re building a legacy, five years doesn’t seem that long, but in the world of technology, it’s a generation. Or two. Since 2015, we’ve built our brands by providing the best to the best, and despite the current challenges around the world, we know that the global partnerships we’ve developed will enable us to continue innovating, integrating, and creating experiences that keep your guests excited and engaged.
We’re looking forward to many new experiences with you and your team. Thank you again for ensuring the future of location-based entertainment.
