IAAPA: Extreme Legacy launches, aims for Orlando expansion
Extreme Legacy, an engineering design and manufacturing firm, is looking to expand its manufacturing presence in Central Florida next year.
The Orlando-based company made its debut at IAAPA Expo this week at Orange County Convention Center. It has purchased the intellectual property, proprietary information, existing customer base, service contracts and the catalog of attraction items manufactured and fabricated by Texas-based Extreme Engineering.
“We are able to hit the ground running,” Jaimie Enterkin, Extreme Legacy’s newly minted CEO, said from the floor of the trade show.

“We’re hoping to take the success, the integrity of the products, the quality that has been produced by Extreme Engineering and elevate that and evolve that, open up to new markets, new customization, really, but continue with the quality of the products,” she said.
Extreme Legacy’s product line includes family-friendly coasters, ziplines, climbing walls and shade structures. Its headquarters is in Orlando, and its main plant is in Dallas. The company looks to expand its Orlando footprint in 2025.
“There’s no better hub in this industry, within attractions and amusement. … We’re excited to bring the abilities of our company and our vision here,” Enterkin said.
“I think it’s really important to have that presence as a female majority owner of an amusement and attraction and engineering firm to be here in Orlando,” she said. “So I’m ready to revere that and empower that and empower other companies.”
