Being connoisseurs in the trampoline park industry for almost a decade, Cody Schueler and his twin brother Luke founded Shock Trampoline Park Systems in order to identify potential problems the industry faces. Shock Trampoline Park Systems was established to fulfill the need in the industry to create a safer trampoline park. The industry has grown rapidly in North America and has recently expanded into international markets. This rapid expansion has brought to light one of the main issues a park owner can face- injuries sustained by patrons when they lose control and land on trampoline pads that overlay the steel frames. As a solution to this problem, the two entrepreneurs developed and patented the world’s only shock attenuating trampoline park structure. The design includes trampoline shock absorbing suspension mounts, a connection system with a pivoting horizontal bed rail and a German gas shock system incorporated directly into the trampoline framework. These unique entrepreneurs own and operate the world’s largest trampoline parks and manufacture and build trampoline parks for other current park owners and future clients who want to get into the trampoline park industry. Cody and his brother Luke are constantly wowing the public and others in the industry with their innovative, creative ideas and designs in order to create a fun and safe experience for guests and park owners.

The parks offer a number of unique attractions designed to take advantage of the fast-paced fun that only a trampoline can provide.
