Marcial Godoy
Vice President of Projects

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
University of New Orleans, 1987

Mr. Godoy is possibly the world's most experienced attraction engineer, having commissioned attractions for the opening of, or provided equipment to every Universal Studios and Walt Disney Company theme park in the world, along with several Las Vegas, Six Flags, and Paramount attraction sites. In several cases, Marcial has out-lived the planned 10-year life of an attraction, and gone back to re-fit the same space as the next great draw.

Marcial graduated from the University of New Orleans in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, and went on to build a resume of practical answers in system specification, hardware design, field engineering, and project management.  He has been employed full time with Birket Engineering, Inc. since 1988.

A seriously abbreviated list of attractions at which Marcial has provided design engineering and project management leadership includes:

  • Universal’s Islands of Adventure’sSM Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge Rat Barges® and The Amazing Adventures of SpidermanSM ride control systems
