Wild Creations, a creative production company specialising in designing and fabricating imaginative installations for the attractions industry, is celebrating 15 years of engineering themed environments for attractions worldwide.
Based in Wales, the company is now one of the UK’s leading producers of large-scale themed environments, working with Universal, Merlin and other international attractions brands.
End-to-end service
The company blends artistry with precise fabrication to deliver complex engineered installations from its 40,000-square-foot facility near Cardiff city centre.
With 50 full-time team members, its services include structural steelwork, sculpting, scenic finishing, and in-house logistics, enabling complete control over quality, scale, and delivery.
Wild Creations was founded in 2010 by former Doctor Who set dresser Matt Wild and has established a world-class reputation for delivering technically ambitious scenic and structural builds for permanent themed attractions.

Over its 15 years, the company's focus has shifted from temporary event builds to engineering long-term, robust themed environments.
This pivot began in 2019, following the completion of two significant projects with Universal: Cloudtop in the Japan studio and Bumblebee in the Singapore studio.
These projects both demonstrated the company’s capacity to produce large-scale, structurally complex scenic features for some of the world’s most popular destinations.
"More than 90 percent of our work now comes from international clients," says Wild.
"We’re proud to represent UK creative and technical talent on a global stage, delivering world-class themed environments that stand the test of time."
In 2023, the company achieved EN1090 certification for structural steel, formalising its technical and safety credentials for large-scale fabrication.
With the addition of in-house logistics and the expansion of its technical teams, Wild Creations can now manage entire projects, from design to installation.
This provides clients with a seamless, end-to-end service that integrates creativity with robust engineering.
Theme parks and beyond
Now, Wild Creations has expanded beyond theme parks and undertakes projects for cruise lines, museums, and cultural destinations, illustrating the rising worldwide interest in immersive, story-driven environments.
Every project is managed by multidisciplinary teams responsible for concept design, CAD modelling, steel fabrication, scenic finishing, and installation.
"Our investment in infrastructure and technical expertise means we can deliver projects of significant scale, complexity and longevity," says Wild.
"Whether we’re building a 12-metre animatronic feature or a themed architectural façade, we apply the same blend of creativity, precision engineering and rigorous quality control."
As Wild Creations marks its 15th year, the company continues to bolster international collaborations and expand its capabilities, demonstrating how world-class themed fabrication and design can flourish in the UK.
The company is also inviting experienced fabricators, engineers, and creative specialists to join its expanding network.
Earlier this year, Matt Wild spoke to bloolooop about the company’s journey, its growing presence in the attractions sector, and the momentum driving its continued success.
