philthephorce Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Another excellent report!!! I wish Mr. Bolliger hadn't been so brief with Robb, but you could tell just from his demeanor that he takes his work very seriously. Also, the expression on Robb's face as he's next to the roller toilet was hilarious. And for some reason, I want to go bowling in Las Vegas. Hmmm....

robbalvey Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Another excellent report!!! I wish Mr. Bolliger hadn't been so brief with Robb, but you could tell just from his demeanor that he takes his work very seriously. It's that and I think it's not a fan of camera interview. He almost didn't do it, so I'm glad we got what we did! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 ^ Heh, I saw you for like 10 seconds and only realized it was you for like the last 2 seconds! Glad you had a good time! --Robb Up on the second floor in the main aisleway? I was walking around for a tour and had a blue dot haha. I would have stopped but unfortunately I had plush toys to learn about. It looks like you had a good time too, which is of course a good thing. ^^Were you with the rest of the ambassadors at the Moser rides on Friday around 3:00-3:30? You all seemed to be having a blast together and generally enjoying yourselves for the show almost being over. And (a possible general) thanks (to one of you) for the free registration to next year's show We were definitely at Moser rides from about 2 to close. Those rides were a blast, so it was hard not to have a good time. And yes, though the floor was about to close, we were still having a good time. After 5 days of non stop working, it was nice to relax and walk the floor on friday. It is the year of a million dreams! That was the gift give away thing! Glad you got one! See you in O town in a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 ^ LOL! I call a lot of liquid things that create other things the "sauce." "Bubble Sauce" "Pancake Sauce" "Pizza Sauce" "Baby Sauce" You get the idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJClarke0912 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Awww, no more IAAPA videos this year. I enjoyed watching them at the end of every day. I really like hearing what the coaster companies say. Oh well, there is still next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm glad you guys liked them. It's sort of a "different format" for us and between doing videos like that an our "live chats" I think we are starting to figure out a format for doing some sort of podcast or video podcast.

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 ^Suggestions: Just make sure you go to IAAPA 2010, and I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And (a possible general) thanks (to one of you) for the free registration to next year's show! LOL! I wonder who that mystery Ambassador was who gave you the free registration? That is just a strange coincidence that I happened to give it to a TPR member! Also, I echo Jordan's comments on the IAPPA Expo, simply the greatest week ever! -Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 ^ No, but if we found a format that people liked and we could do it without impacting our schedule too much, we'd totally put it together. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Impurity Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 ^ Wow. I mean, having your own footage being used by big names in the amusement industry is one thing, having them show your coverage of their booth is a whole different thing!

robbalvey Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Now that IAAPA is over, time to unstick this.
