Uremet Lighted Wheels

In May of 2023, Uremet’s lighted wheels were revealed on the Superman: Ultimate Flight roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. In the year leading up to the public reveal, I was involved in the engineering development, show programming, testing, and installation on-site at the park. It was a fantastic and unforgettable learning experience.

These light-up components are completely self-contained within the wheel system, meaning power for the LEDs is purely generated by the rotation of the wheel itself. Installation requires no additional effort from a typical wheel.
