Hercules Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I just got back to the hotel from packing up the booth at the show. I have to say, it was a very good show this year, and I can tell that the industry is really turning around very noticably. I think 2011 and beyond will be great years for everyone in the industry!

rosscoe Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Robb, Thanks for all the great coverage. Some great new rides and slides coming in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 As a first time visitor to IAAPA I really enjoyed it! Was really neat to get to see everything in person and meet some really cool people in the industry. Once again, thank you for the amazing coverage Robb. Your videos cannot be topped! Also it was nice to meet any TPR members we saw on the floor. Can't wait to see what 2011 brings!  So, Jake. Now that you have eaten Yellow Snow and can fart at 6,000 mph, how has your social life been going?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmhuber Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Your coverage of IAAPA has to be one of my favorite times of the year, right next to the end of the summer when parks announce their new attractions for the upcoming season.

Good job Robb!! Â Yeah as every year we get a sneak peek of the industry's latest toys for our future enjoyment.The show's come quite a ways from how it was a decade ago when the latest thing we were all waiting for was B&M's flyer. Â Like most I don't even think that the wooden shuttle is gonna be a big seller,it would look a helluva lot better with a loop but even then still wouldn't be worth the ride even if it were a walk on.

Meteornotes Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 This thread has been beyond awesome. One of my favorite threads of the year, with all the IN DEPTH coverage. Have not gotten a chance to watch all the videos yet, but will likely get through them this weekend. Â Thanks for all the hard work on the IAAPA coverage, everyone! Prowler blesses you all!

cfc Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 First, I'm happy to see two more IAAPA videos. Â Second, I'm sad that the coverage for this year is over. But there's always next year--thanks, Robb! Â I still have yet to check out a Flowrider--the Lazy River combo looks like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Now that it is officially over, I want to say that it has been an absolute pleasure to help and follow along with TPR's IAAPA 2010 coverage! You really CAN NOT find this coverage anywhere else on the web! So, a HUGE thank you to Robb and everyone else for busting their ass for bringing us updates.

That, and what the hell is a Junior Boomerang!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 The main reason for the ACE booth is to just show a presence, and maybe wrangle in a few new members or sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2Rox Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Great!! Great!! Great!! It's so Awesome to get all this news and information from the Amusement/Theme Park Industry. I love how their faces light up with excitement and enthusiasm when they talk about their ride or product. It gets me pumped and excited, like being the second person in the que waiting to get on the ride. My favorite interviews were Proslide, Zamperla, and Dolly Parton!!! Â I also think those Proslide models are soo cute. I just want to reach out and touch one... Â The new restraints on The Great Nor'Easter are awesome and that has been the most enjoyable ride on an SLC. Â Great Videos! Thanks Robb! Hi Adam good to see you!!

Angry_Gumball Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I junior boomerang? Did I here that right? Â You weren't the only one...That caught my attention as soon as I heard it be said. Wish we could see some concept art/rendering of it.

coasterlover420 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 TPR never ceases to absolutely amaze me! Wonderful coverage and quite funny videos, Robb. Major props! All these videos are getting me thinking there might be a TPR show on tv sometime in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 If I had to guess I'd assume the junior boomerang is a shuttle junior coaster, that goes in reverse as well on a mild layout. Not a smaller version of the Boomerang. OG the headbanging on that sort of thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhcbiinoc Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'm just now getting the chance to get caught up on all of this and I have to say, you did an awesome job of covering the show! I look forward to the IAAPA coverage every year, and you guys had the best coverage this year. Looks like a lot of fun, I would love to attend one of these someday.
