Building ropes courses and attractions worldwide 

As 2025 winds down, tradeshows and events ramp up for the RCI Adventure Product sales team as we have several big events on the schedule across the globe.

RCI continues to find valuable inroads into new and growing markets across the globe, supporting a wide variety of end customers with our ropes courses and adventure attractions. 

Already in 2025 RCI has exhibited at shows in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Singapore, Miami, and Atlantic City.

Attractions Expo in Vietnam

RCI’s next big event is a first for us! RCI will be exhibiting at the Theme Park Expo Vietnam, held in Ho Chi Minh City on Aug. 27-28. 

CK Foo, Director of International Sales, will be representing RCI at the event. RCI continues to grow its presence in the Asian market and has recently completed massive projects in both South Korea and Japan. 

Theme Park Expo Vietnam will give us an opportunity to connect with attractions leaders from throughout Southeast Asia!

RCI and Innovative Leisure have a long history together, building ropes courses throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. We’re currently working together on a massive course expansion at a theme park in Denmark, where we’re adding a 3 level Sky Trail® course complete with our Sky Tour® zip-rail adventure.

Zoos, Aquariums and Trampolines

Before we head across the pond of IAAPA Europe, RCI will be exhibiting at two smaller shows in the U.S., IATP 2025 and AZA.

The International Adventure & Trampoline Park Association (IATP) is hold its annual conference in Maricopa, AZ, from Sept. 8-10.

Great Wolf Lodge Golf Outing

Last year RCI sponsored the Golf Ball Launcher at the Great Wolf Lodge Scholarship Golf Outing and we loved it so much, we decided to do it again this year! 

Held this year on Oct. 28 at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale, AZ, the outing supports the GWL Scholarship, which is made available to GWL employees and their children. 

RCI has courses at 11 different GWL locations throughout the U.S. and this outing gives our team and wonderful opportunity to catch up with the leadership teams at each location. Vanessa Winter, Client Success Manager, and Ronda Hulst, Director of Sales, will be attending the event for RCI and will have a table setup at one of the Par 4s. 

And, of course, IAAPA Orlando

The biggest show of the year for us, and for many in our industry, is IAAPA North America, held annually in Orlando. The show floor will be open from Nov. 18-21 and RCI can be found at booth 5424.

IAAPA gives RCI a wonderful opportunity to connect with many of its customers, as well as discover new opportunities and ventures. We’ll certainly post more on this as we get closer!
