Great courses don’t begin with lumber and cable. They begin with a plan for the site, the users, the staff, and the long-term operation.

Big adventure doesn’t have to wait until kids are bigger.

CDI designs and builds Kids Courses that give younger adventurers a course created for them.

Climbing. Balancing. Moving. Figuring things out. And getting that great feeling of, “I did it!”

Kids Courses can work as their own attraction or as part of a larger challenge course or aerial adventure park.

If you’re planning a course and want something specifically for younger participants, we can help you.

Some guests need more room in a helmet.

That might be because of a larger head size. It might be because of braids, locs, thick curls, hijab, dastar, patka, or another headwear need.

For challenge courses, zip lines, and aerial adventure parks, this kind of helmet has been hard to find.

The Fusion Titan Jumbo is a new helmet that helps because it gives operators more than just a larger circumference (21-26 inches). It also has more room in the crown, which is the space above the head inside the helmet.

That second part is the big deal. A helmet can fit around someone’s head and still not have enough room above the head to sit correctly and comfortably.

That's why we recommend the Fusion Titan Jumbo when more crown room is needed.

One gear-room tip we like:

Keep your jumbo helmets the same color as your other guest helmets. Then store them on a specific hook or in a known spot so staff can find them fast.

The guest gets a helmet that fits.

The staff gets a simple system.

And nobody has to make it weird about having different needs.

August has two kinds of people.

"Summer's basically over."

And...

"We still have time for one more adventure."

We're definitely in the second group.

We don’t force the same course onto every property. CDI designs and builds each project around the site, the program, the budget, the owner's vision, and the people it needs to serve.

We design and build adventure attractions that make people say, “I was nervous, but I’m so glad I did that.”

A ropes course should challenge guests. It shouldn't challenge your maintenance team every Monday morning.

Everyone was talking about superheroes at the San Diego Comic-Con last week, but our crew doesn't need CGI or green screens to defy gravity. 🦸

When we design and build multi-story aerial parks and ropes courses, the stakes are real. No Hollywood special effects. Just 45 years of practical application, safety and standards compliance, and a "get it done attitude".

CDI builds the real-world stages where everyday people discover their own inner hero.

We see you, Jimothy.

The internet has been totally captivated by Jimothy the viral raccoon's incredible climbing skills and fearless obstacle navigation. Honestly? We respect the agility.

But while Jimothy relies on wild raccoon instincts to scale heights and conquer sketchy obstacles, human adventurers need something a little more structured (and a lot safer).

At Challenge Design Innovations, we design, construct, and service world-class aerial adventure parks and ropes courses so your guests can safely channel their inner climber. Whether it's a high-flying zip line canopy tour or a challenging tactical training facility, we engineer thrilling environments built to the highest safety standards.

Ready to build the ultimate adventure course? Leave the wild climbing to the raccoons and let the experts handle the design.

After watching The Odyssey, I realized Odysseus would have been a challenging aerial adventure park client.”

He wanted a long journey filled with obstacles, unexpected turns, monsters, storms, and questionable risk-management decisions.

We could help with most of that.

Building an aerial adventure park is kind of an odyssey of its own.

The course must fit the space, the intended participants, and the operator’s goals.

Every platform, cable, obstacle, zip line, and connection must work as part of a well designed system.

And the planning cannot stop at opening day.

You also need to think about inspections, staff training, rescue procedures, maintenance, and how the course may need to change and upgrade over time.

A great adventure should feel unpredictable to the participant.

But behind the scenes?

It should be carefully designed, properly built, and supported by a clear plan.
