The Original. Since 2013

The booking system that started it all

wakesys has run cable parks since 2013, before the big booking suites noticed the sport. wakesys 5.0 carries the RFID wristbands, lap counter, operator screens and fiscal compliance; the new platform carries booking, pre-arrival waivers and the iPad POS. One company, two platforms, and this page says which is which.

The Problem

What makes running a cable park complicated?

Your booking software shouldn't make it harder.

Frankenstein systems

Access control bolted onto a cash register, online booking loosely linked to POS, and nothing talks to anything

Fiscal nightmares

RKSV, TSE, tax audits: regulations that keep you up at night

Revenue leakage

Shared wristbands, buddy passes, people riding without paying

Waiver liability

Someone rides without signing, and you find out after the accident

Two platforms, one company

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.
