Sir Clinksalot Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 ^I can appreciate a fine set of boobs just as much as a man! All awesome women can!!! Great stuff Robb and Hanno (and Elissa)!!! It looks like there was a lot more going on this year than some of the past years in Orlando. I think a change in Venue is probably just what the thing needed. Although I find it odd that the Amusement Park Industry has it's show in Vegas ... land of crappy coasters (well, except one).
ebl Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 One thing I found funny was how this show was right next to a monorail (the Las Vegas Monorail) I wonder how many people actually took the monorail to the show...? Eric
Guy T. Koepp Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Simply amazing! However, I must inquire, why no pictures of the Jew or the Diabetic?
robbalvey Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Simply amazing! However, I must inquire, why no pictures of the Jew or the Diabetic? They were doing stuff with Westcoaster and we both had different agendas. --Robb
hyyyper Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Did you guys see anything of the NoLimits simulator, I was told they would be at IAAPA Vegas this year.
robbalvey Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 ^ I ran into Ole and Tom and chatted for a couple of minutes but didn't see anything. They did say how much they appreciated the activity on TPR about their game. --Robb
robbalvey Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Ok, so I just wanted to put this out there... I don't remember what water park in Australia is getting the looping water slide and I didn't pick up the pamphlet (we didn't really collect much IAAPA stuff this year to be honest...too much stuff to carry already!) I want to say that I *think* it said something about "Village Roadshow" but I really don't know what that means or if that's even correct. Sorry to all the Aussies for not paying closer attention and after receiving about 10 emails asking the same thing, I guess I should have looked closer. --Robb
Airtime&Gravity Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 ^Village Roadshow owns pretty much all the parks in Australia. If I had to guess, I'd say the looping water slide would go to WBMW's water park. Although, I have nothing to really base that off of.
KnottsDisneyFarm Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I told my friends at school about how they would be building a looping water slide in Australia but none of them believed me. They said it was impossible. I said I thought it was too until I saw all the videos and pictures of it. I would love to play on the fake snow seeing that I have never been in snow yet...
Swiminn6 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I told my friends at school about how they would be building a looping water slide in Australia but none of them believed me. They said it was impossible. I said I thought it was too until I saw all the videos and pictures of it. I would love to play on the fake snow seeing that I have never been in snow yet... Same here, but it looks so cool! And trust me, I live in the North and I honestly HATE snow!! I mean I love how we get snow days but once you have been up here for awhile the gray and cold days get old!
Paul_Hollibone Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Village Roadshow own 3 of the majors here (so thats Sea World, Movie World and Wet n Wild) and only own 1 water park. So my guess would be the water slide is heading for Wet n Wild if plans go ahead. Thanks Robb for the clarification.
Jhcbiinoc Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for all of the great coverage of the show! I would love to attend one of these someday but this is the next best thing to being there. I saw some coverage from last year, and it looks like they had a bigger turnout this year than they did last time.
Jumboshrmp Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Same here, but it looks so cool! And trust me, I live in the North and I honestly HATE snow!! I mean I love how we get snow days but once you have been up here for awhile the gray and cold days get old! Just like the sun and hot weather gets old for us down in Florida (at least for me). Everyone tells me that I would hate living up north, but I would love being able to go outside without feeling like I need to take a shower when I come back in. I've been loving these updates. So many awesome people are at this show. I was particularly interested in all of the haunt stuff that I saw in the pictures.
robbalvey Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Part 2 of our IAAPA Video Report has been posted! This video includes: - Story time with GCI's Chris Gray - What's new from Proslide - Robb flips upside down at Mack Rides - Halloween Maze Props - Bumper Cars - MORE!!! Enjoy the video....
uwgbdork Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Ok that pumpkin was wayyyy creepier in the video than the picture. One might say that it was more in depth!!! Great video Thanks for keeping us updated rob!!!!
philthephorce Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Cool video! After seeing the shaking people after the pumpkin, I thought there'd be cut back to Robb closing out this chapter of the IAAPA coverage...shaking too.
robbalvey Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 ^ Technically I recorded the intros/outros all at the same time...so yeah....they'll be a bit generic! Sorry about spoiling the magic! --Robb
thefox89 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Great report Rob. It was great to see you there too. To bad you didn't bring Elissa and Kidtums.
Rcp123190 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Great video!! Thanks for the update Robb!
CoasterPrince Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I have no idea why that pumpkin is so creepy. Zamperla's Barn ride looks fun...in a Rockin' N Tug sort of way. Is it faster in person?
FLIPDUDE Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Oh my gosh... Miniature waterslide models They look small enough to be sold in gift shops! I want them, I want them, I want them!
atem122 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Great *to fit with the theme* IN DEPTH!!!! reporting, the Chris Gray stories were amazing! Edit: \ / Looks like even the Gravity Group kept with the theme: Later in the forum thread there is even more in-depth coverage here,
robbalvey Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Theme Park Review was featured on The Gravity Group's blog "GravityCast": http://thegravitygroup.com/gravitycast/more-timberliner-coverage-from-iaapa/ --Robb
cfc Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I so want all that "haunt" stuff for my front yard--it would really annoy my local homeowners association.
