From Galil Motion Control

While motion simulators are used to train professionals such as jet pilots, truck drivers and high-rise construction crane operators, they can thrill families who ride the Star Tours and Mission Space attractions at Disney World and SHREK 4D at Universal Studios.


At the heart of each of these simulators is a motion platform. John Sarnicola, President of Sarnicola Simulation Systems, Inc. (SSSI), designs his patented Triad and Hexad series of motion platforms for handling virtually any mode of motion. Applications range from training and entertainment to trade shows, military, testing, research and education.
