Cable Park
Each cable park is individual
Full Size Cable
The water ski cableway (Full Size Cable) is a circuit with 5 or 6 towers, which can be placed in water or on land, with pulleys attached to their cantilevers. On the drive mast, high-precision technology is used to engage and disengage the driver’s tow lines on carriers that are attached to the constantly rotating pair of cables. The launch is from a glide ramp at the launch site. Depending on the length, up to 12 riders can use the facility simultaneously. A capacity of 300-500 customers per day, combined with low operating costs, is the key to success and profitability.
80 % of all riders on a Full Size Cable are wakeboarders. From beginners to pro riders, from young to old. After wakeboarding, water skiing, kneeboarding and wakeskate are the most common uses on a Full Size Cable.

Master Series
In addition to the Full Size Cable with 5 or 6 masts, we also offer 2-mast systems, which are a perfect complement to an FSC. The Master Basic, Master Silver and Master Gold are sophisticated and absolutely reliable systems, which are primarily used in professional cable parks, where stability and endurance of the components are important. The RIXEN 2-mast systems are used as training lifts for beginners as well as for ProRiders. Perfect as a supplement to the Full Size Cable, as additional revenue and capacity can be generated here through beginner courses, pro training, complete rentals, group events and birthday events.

Features to complete your Full Size Cable
The launch site is the center of a Full Size Cable. This is where the control station and launch pad are located. The launch area of a cableway is the most frequented place where many spectators and visitors gather to watch a rider take off every 10 seconds. Therefore, it is especially important to plan and design the launch area in an optimal way. This includes a good gastronomy in the best location as well as a Proshop. Here we guarantee the best designs for an optimal and extremely profitable start area. We offer individually adapted solutions and advise you down to the last detail.
Floating walkways provide comfort and safety for fallen riders. It also provides a clear distinction from other lake users such as SUP riders, sailors, power boaters or jet skis. We at RIXEN now have a long time proven return walkway on offer, which is extremely solid and durable. The walkways are made of galvanized steel to withstand any weather conditions, water qualities as well as high waves. The tread is made of high quality plastic / wood planks and is not only anti-slip and therefore safe for your customers, but also extremely durable and resistant. Thanks to our specially designed anti-pinch protection, your customers will not be able to get trapped between the walkway elements or trip there. The RIXEN return bar is available in single and double versions.

"When I first met Bruno Rixen, we had no idea about wakeboarding and we had no idea about cable parks. We wanted to work with the inventor of the cable system. Now we have been running the cable park for more than 13 years without any problems. We are very happy that we have chosen RIXEN." - Baris Özoral, Manager Hip-Notics Cable Park

Waterski Langenfeld is the largest cable park worldwide with 4 full size cables, 2 two-mast systems, artificial surf wave, beach area, gastronomy and many other attractions. The first RIXEN facility was built there in 1976 on one of the many gravel lakes, for which a subsequent use was sought.
In the course of the years Langenfeld developed with 3 further plants to one of the well-known metropolises of the Wakeboardsport. The potential of the surrounding big cities, combined with good management and marketing and many other attractions created a large customer base and worldwide awareness. Many of these ideas were realized with the help of RIXEN as a reliable and innovative partner.
