BAMECO

Beijing Amusement Machine Engineering Co. Ltd., better known as BAMECO, is a Chinese amusement ride company headquartered in that built roller coasters, giant wheels, carousels, flumes, dark rides, sky cycles and other amusement rides. The state-owned company was formed in 1986. Two years later, in 1988, they became trademarked.

Unlike other Chinese roller coaster manufacturers, BAMECO is mostly dedicated to creating unique models of coasters and not making so-called "knock off" coasters. Their first roller coaster to be exported overseas was the 2003-opened Racing Coaster model Nebraskan Nightmare at Omaha Luna Park, which was voted "The Best New Roller Coaster of 2003" by readers of Coasters.
