Who is Alcorn McBride?

Okay, so we tackled why you’re here. We’re here to talk about Show Control. But who is “we” anyway?

You may not know us, but you’ve heard or seen our products. Since 1986, they have formed the backbone of audio and video presentations in the world’s major theme parks, museums, retail venues, casinos, cruise ships, corporate lobbies, and tour vehicles. Along with ultra-reliable audio and video playback, we design show control products that guarantee perfect results every time. Simply put, we manufacture products designed to operate 24 hours a day for decades with no preventive maintenance.

Our products contain no moving parts (no PCs here) so our equipment is maintenance-free – a must for an industry that doesn’t tolerate downtime! We make purpose-built hardware that is focused on reliability, synchronization, precision, and easy programming.

Our Engineers constantly develop new products to better serve you. Because you can’t design a product for an attraction while simply sitting behind a desk, our Engineers base their designs on field experience and customer feedback. That’s how we provide the features our clients need to create amazing guest experiences.

Our customer support staff is ready to help. We take a common-sense approach to technical support. When you contact us for help, you can speak directly to the engineer who developed your product. Our Engineers understand that programming is the last (and sometimes last minute) step to opening an attraction; they’re available to help you 24/7.

Finally, we make theme park products for theme park people – and we’re theme park people too!
