The CGI studio for media based attractions
CGI gives you the power to do far more than what is possible in real life.
The thing your guests search for is an extraordinary experience, something that cannot be replicated in real life: they want to dive into the story, be its protagonists.
At Red Raion, we always put the experience first – nothing counts more than leaving a long-lasting mark in the heart of the people who try our CGI content.
We focus on creating CGI content exclusively for media-based attractions: this is what allows us to always be on top of the latest trends and technologies in the attractions business.
We listen to our clients and partners to always be sure that our CGI content reflects what their guests look for, in terms of style, genres, and overall experience.
With CGI you can create out-of-this-world adventures: its unlimited possibilities pushed us to dive into it and make it our job, which basically consists in creating incredible realities that wouldn’t be possible without CGI.
That’s how Red Raion was born and found its identity: the CGI studio for media-based attractions!

The story of Red Raion
Today, with 2 main offices – our headquarters in Catania, Sicily, and our KSA office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – we are a team of 40+ people and have a track record of collaborations with some of the world’s greatest operators in the entertainment field, but it hasn’t always been all roses… When we moved our first steps in the industry, everyone told us that it was impossible for a new company to join this field, because it took other companies decades to build their name and reputation. But we never surrendered.
Since day one, we have created custom and licensed CGI content for venues worldwide.
Our goal has always been to create unforgettable experiences with CGI, focused on mixing storytelling with state-of-the-art technologies – in brief, we aimed at creating the so-called “WOW effect”.
And also to make life simpler for the attractions industry operators who are looking for the perfect CGI content for their specific venues, attractions and target audiences, solving the issues they had faced throughout their entire career: delays, extra costs, and content that wasn’t at all like they expected in terms of quality were the most common setbacks among our clients who had previously dealt with non-specialized companies.
This made it clear for us that it would be essential to focus exclusively on media-based attractions, build a specialized team of professionals, and always be there for our clients, prepared to answer all their questions and anticipate all their doubts.
This is what we have been doing since the very beginning: specializing, studying, listening to our clients, being there for them, and it’s what allowed Red Raion to be where we are today.
And it’s also what allows us to work this smoothly, always respecting milestones, budgets and deadlines!
So it all revolves around being “the CGI studio for media-based attractions”: working with us means that we will always put the experience first, that we will always keep studying and improving, and that we will always listen to you, amusement professionals, to help you create that beautiful eye-sparkle that makes it all worth it!
