Engineering Motion Behind the Experience

Some of the most memorable entertainment moments depend on machinery the audience never sees. Moving stages, rotating scenic elements, kinetic architectural feature, mechanized displays, performer equipment, LED/video wall systems, theme park machinery, and amusement rides and devices all rely on mechanical engineering that can transform creative ideas into controlled, repeatable motion.

KCI, formerly McLaren Engineering Group, provides specialized mechanical engineering for live entertainment, theaters, theme parks, museums, casinos, public art, immersive environments, touring productions, and one-of-a-kind show elements. Our engineers help develop custom machinery and moving systems that balance creative intent, structural coordination, motion control, fabrication realities, safety, reliability, and long-term performance.

From early concept and feasibility studies to motion studies, load analysis, equipment layouts, technical specifications, fabrication support, installation coordination, acceptance testing, and construction-phase support, our work helps bring ambitious visual experiences to life safely, precisely, and with the engineering confidence required behind the scenes.
