Give Six flags a call and ask for the head of the engineering department. They should be able to tell you who made them if not that then who fitted them out.

Thola Design is one of the firms that supply the park industry with coin op RC features

You would probably be better off building up a kit on your own. As the system in the park features are all connected back to a larger computer system and software for the coin op timer and RC aspects.

Welcome to RCU! Look around in the boat forums. You'll find there are many choices that can actually be more fun than the coin operated models. There are boats that people use to battle each other, scale boats that look just like a big one, sail boats that offer a relaxing afternoon at a park pond, and gas, nitro, and electric boats that can reach high speeds and provide an opportunity to race.
