IAAPA Re-Cap: PAX Company What a strange company this is. It kind of reminds me of the Japanese company, Meisho...only Russian. There rides look crazy and the coasters...well I have never ridden one, but I hear they are pretty wild. First up is the Company services, profile and concepts....then the Ride Catalog. Ride Catalog Company overview and services...scroll down for Ride Catalog -

IAAPA Re-Cap: Premier Rides Inc. Here is a look at Premier who seems to have a new coaster pop up every 2 or 3 years. They had a rough start (Outer Limits) but things seem to be pretty solid for this company now, and there rides are pretty good. It seems they no longer marker the Wooden Loop Coaster -

IAAPA Re-Cap: INTAMIN, INTAMIN & INTAMIN! Lets get this Thanksgiving party started with some INTAMIN goodness. By far this was the best thing I picked up at the IAAPA convention, the Intamin ride catolog and as a BONUS the 40 year history of INTAMIN. That is what this thread is all about, history. So if you have ever wondered how Intamin got started, what the relationship with Schwarzkopf was or where they are heading in the future...you will want to read every word of this, it is pure goodness! Happy Thanksgiving everyone, aren't we all thankful for INTAMIN?!?!? -Shane The ride catalog Impressive we've got WOOD How great is this??? REVOLUTION! The 40 year History -

IAAPA Re-Cap: Maurer Sohne Here is a catalog from a company that will be making a big splash in the Florida area next year. Maurer Sohne has done some smaller coasters like wild mice & spinners here in the states but Universals Rockit will be a huge step for them. I like there rides so I say bring it on... -

IAAPA Re-Cap: Miler Industries This is one of my most favorites! Fred Miler, owner of Miler Coasters has been a good friend of mine for years. As a matter of fact I purchased one of his first new generation Kiddie Coasters and installed it myself at the Upland Family Fun Center. When my family sold our FEC's to Boomers! they decided to take it out...why? I never figured that out. They even said I could have it for free if I took it away. When I went to take it, it was gone, sold for scrap. Yes I am still a little bitter about it. Anyways thanks for letting me vent! RIP Flying Daredevil...did anyone get the credit??? -

IAAPA Re-Cap: S & S Power Always innovative and cutting edge is S&S Power. I am really intrigued with some of their new concepts. I wonder if they will ever be able to scale down the 4D concept so more parks could afford them. Get to work on that Stan! looks like a kiddie screaming swing the Free Fly Coaster. This concept looks ver interesting. Hope it works out, I would love to see the suspended coaster revitalized This ride looks really fun to me. To those who have ridden it...how is it? -

My favorites growing up were the Troika (triple play at Marriott's Great America) and the Swing-a-Round (Big Top at Marriott's Great America) But as far as the Enterprise goes, I think the Schwarzkopf model is much better than the Huss model! -

Sledgehammer is a really good ride when it does its drops and quick rises, the spinning gets old real quick tho. Huss rides are EXPENSIVE...especially the giant type ones. -

Land of Giants would be awesome for Magic Moutain! Remember that great Huss Flat Ride themed section of Heide Park? I guess that is the same idea just made up of Huss's small flats. -

To kick off my IAAPA re-cap update over at Shane's Amusement Attic I thought I would post this post card from GCI that they were passing out at the show. Check all kinds of Product Portfolios from industry manufacturers like Intamin, S&S Power, Huss and more...all this week -

IAAPA Re-Cap: Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc. Well I am back from spending last week in Orlando at the IAAPA convention. Along the way I took lots of pictures and most importantly picked up product portfolios from several of the major manufacturers in the industry. I know this update strays a little from the "Retro Formula" that Shane's Amusement Attic is known for and I hope my thread doesn't "jump the shark" with this week long look at what the industry has to offer now. There is some good stuff from companies like: Intamin, Great Coasters International, Huss and more...Lets start, since we finished off with PTC. -Shane PTC product catalog 2008 -

Well I thought I would get a quick post up before I head off to Orlando for the IAAPA convention. Look for coverage of the show here in my thread next week. With the announcement of the new trains from Gravity Group I thought it would be fun to take a look back at this old PTC catalog. This is short and sweet but it pretty much covers all their products: Trains, Brakes & Gates. See ya all next week! -Shane
