Building for the Future
An orchard is a place that feeds a community and has many deep roots.
Our mission is to bring a spark of magic to animatronics while making it simple and easy to design your dreams into reality.
By partnering with Rising Orchards you are joining a deep rooted community of passionate technologists, artists, and designers that are dedicated to creating the next generation of enchanting tools for building attraction magic.
Forget everything you know about prop animation
Themeparks manage and program their animatronics differently. Rising Orchards has developed IgorBox™. IgorBox™ provides a similar platform for you to level-up your show using the same methods as the professionals.
We've spent a decade as home haunters and event consultants researching, developing, and testing the most cutting edge of technology behind what makes IgorBox™ so revolutionary.
Meet our Founders
Lisa Heijmans
Lisa has a passion for bringing a smile to peoples' faces. She's been designing and delivering larger-than-life events for over a decade. Her goal for every event has always been to leave people in awe no matter the budget. This has led to her designing and building her own custom animatronic props with her husband, Mike, and she discovered how hard it is to create truly magical shows.
Rising Orchards was born out of a need to provide top-tier animatronic control and management for the masses.
Mike Heijmans
Mike has been a software and hardware engineer for two decades. Mike's worked as a software engineer through director for some of the largest tech companies in the world.
After a decade of building custom hardware and software for his wife's elaborate events, Mike realized this space could be so much better. By combining his silicon valley engineering experience and his passion for larger-than-life animatronics, Mike has created a totally new way of animating and managing animatronics for a show.
Chuck Norris started his life as a medical service dog. In 2020, he retired from his career as the greatest service dog in the industry.
After his parents started their new animatronics company he knew he had to come out of retirement and find a way to help out.
Chuck loves people and after careful consideration, he appointed himself the Customer Relations Director and got to work meeting as many people as possible.
