What sets wakesys apart
Features you won't find anywhere else.
Full-Size Cable Park Operations
Wakeque works well for small two-tower setups. But full-size cable parks have different needs: multiple towers, complex scheduling, high rider volume, equipment tracking at scale. wakesys was built for exactly this. We power some of the largest cable parks in the world.
Integrated Digital Waivers
With Wakeque, waivers are an afterthought. You need third-party solutions. wakesys builds waivers directly into the booking flow. Guests sign at checkout, before they arrive. Group organizers share links for individual parent signatures. Zero waiver queues.
Complete Hardware Solution
We don't just sell software. We provide the entire system. RFID wristbands, readers, outdoor displays, access controllers. Everything tested and proven at real cable parks for over a decade. No compatibility headaches, no third-party vendors.
Outdoor Operator Screens
Cable park operators work in direct sunlight. Our high-brightness weatherproof displays show the queue, check in riders, and manage sessions right at the starting dock. No running back to the office to see who's next.

Switching from Wakeque?
Common questions answered.
Both wakesys and Wakeque offer online booking and lap counting for cable parks. The key difference is scale: Wakeque is designed for small two-tower parks, while wakesys powers full-size cable parks on four continents. wakesys includes integrated waivers, provides all hardware (RFID, outdoor screens), and has 12+ years of cable park experience.
Wakeque was built primarily for European two-tower systems. Full-size cable parks have different operational needs: higher rider volumes, more complex scheduling, weatherproof outdoor operator screens, integrated waiver management, and equipment tracking at scale. wakesys was designed specifically for these high-volume operations.
Yes. We provide RFID wristbands, readers, outdoor display screens, turnstiles, and access controllers. Everything has been tested in real cable park conditions for over 10 years. You don't need to source hardware from multiple vendors or worry about compatibility.
Most cable parks are live within 1-2 weeks. We install the hardware, set up your products and pricing with you, and train your staff. Guests create their own profiles the first time they book or sign a waiver, so there is no customer database to move. Many parks run both systems in parallel for the first weeks.
Yes! wakesys is completely free for all of 2026. No credit card required, no per-transaction fees. We want you to experience the full platform risk-free before committing. Hardware costs may apply, but the software is free.
Two platforms, one company. wakesys 5.0 has run cable and water-ski parks since 2013 and includes RFID wristbands, gate control, lap counting, operator screens, memberships and season passes, gift cards, equipment rental, food-and-beverage ordering and fiscal compliance for Germany and Austria (TSE/EFSTA, RKSV). The new wakesys platform, launched in March 2026, is where all new development happens: online booking, pre-arrival waivers with guardian consent, per-guest claim links, iPad POS, upgrades and rule-based pricing. It does not yet have memberships, gift cards, rental inventory, RFID or the fiscal layer; those are being brought across, with the fiscal layer committed for the start of the 2027 season. New cable parks in Germany and Austria go live on wakesys 5.0 today; every other venue type starts on the new platform. If a feature matters to you, ask which platform it is on and we will tell you.
