matteocrepaldi Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Thank you Robb so much for these updates!!!
BelizeIt Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 You've had an a productive first day at IAAPA to say the least! It's great that TPR can be there to show us all of the innovations that are coming in the theme park industry. Not to mention that we will be seeing Robb and Elissa riding these new coaster designs in the near future. The upcoming future of theme park coaster design looks amazing!
tmhuber Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 The glowing wheels are "bling bling" for coasters. I agree that they would be sweet on Rip Rocket at Universal Studios Orlando.
tmhuber Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 How come all the big, long, kick-ass wooden roller coasters are being built in China. First time I am actually jealous of Chinese people. The Voyage may loose its crown for being the best wooden roller coaster in the world. Wish I could afford to go on the China trip.
crazydaveh Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Robb, These updates got me through an INSANE day of work yesterday... Keep em coming!
Hhappy Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Loved the video, looking forward to what ahppens during day 2 at IAAPA. China 2012.. looks more and more interesting.
Hockeyman55 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 To our Roller Coaster reporter battling the trenches to bring us these great pictures and videos and making what normally would be a boring day stuck at work a lot better, allow me to say THANK YOU so very much!
krouvi Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I noticed Premier rides show a picture of this inverted ride form Walibi Belgium that was nothing but problem. Do they really think this ride can bring any costumers ? this is one of the worst rides ever.
robbalvey Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 The first TPR IAAPA video is here! This video includes: - Rocky Mountain Coasters discussion the Texas Giant - Martin & Vleminckx discussing the Zippin Pippin, High Five, and wait for it...a LAUNCHED WOODEN SHUTTLE! - Some new technology from Maurer Rides - Behind Closed Doors demo from Sally Corp - MORE! Enjoy! Remember...POST YOUR COMMENTS!!! --Robb
robbalvey Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 And here is a link to all the IAAPA coverage from day one, all put into one easy-to-read place: http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=189&linkid=9775 Enjoy! --Robb
Erik Johnson Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 It sounds like that the Dippin' Dots guy knows all about the uber-secret Aquaman coaster opening in 2012.
Hhappy Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Sweet Loved the video and love the updates. Very much looking forward to what else can be found today at IAAPA. Thanks for the time and effort.
ernierocker Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Great video Robb! There really are some fascinating new concepts out there for the future. I especially liked Chuck Bingham's explanation for the High-Five element. Only Shaq and Yao Ming could actually high-five on it.
cfc Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Great job on the updates, Robb, Elissa, and Eric--you really kept yesterday interesting. I'm looking forward to checking out the video at home tonight. Edited November 17, 2010 by cfc
Thri!!er Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Thanks for all till now, Robb! I am looking forward to the rest of it...! Regards from Germany Thri!!er Edited November 17, 2010 by Thri!!er
alilstronger Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 For some reason I can not see any of the pictures in this thread but reading everyone elses responses is making me pretty excited for what at the show.
JEAPUgrad Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I'm coming to the party a day late but here goes. Did anyone else notice the Pepsi Wheel that was slated for Xandu (Meadowlands) back on page 7 on Premier's booth? Weren't there rumblings not too long ago that the mall project was back on track? If so, any chance of that Wheel still being built?
mxman005 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Looks like IAAPA is off to a great start. I'm hoping (crossing my fingers) that I get the chance to go visit on Thursday. Being right down the street, but not being able to go to IAAPA really does suck. Thanks for all the great coverage and keep it coming. I know this is pertaining to the other thread but has Baker Leisure put up anythign in thier booth about Orlando Thrill Park?
chadster Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 WOW! The new Sally concept looks AMAZING! I want one!! Also found interesting that they are planning to send trains down the revamped Giant in about a month, by my uneducated calculations that could possibly be immeditaley after the park closes for their two month hiatus, maybe, just maybe, they will have the cars on track the final weekend...
Skycoastin Steve Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I wonder if I can get Maurer Sohne to make some wheels like that for my car.
themeparkman25 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Very random question, but who is the manufacturer of the hubless ferris wheel at La Qua in Japan?
ernierocker Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Day 2 of IAAPA 2010 updates begins now! Update #1 - 11:30 P.M. - LO-Q, Chance Morgan, Spiderman, and LOTS more! Need any reading material? There is plenty at IAAPA! Let's take a look at new hotness in virtual queuing! Lo-Q, makers of Q-Bot and Qtxt have an awesome new product... Qcredits is a new "credit system" and virtual queue device designed for water parks! Not only will this bad boy help you skip queues, but it doubles as a cashless system to purchase items in the park! And it makes even the creepiest of website owners look DEAD SEXY!!! Jay aka Hercules shows off National Ticket Co. The price is WRONG...bitch! ARM didn't have too much on display... ...while Rides 4 U had a crazy awesome display that gave you epilepsy just walking by! If you need a Scrambler, see these people! Fabbri didn't have many rides on display, but they were showing off some transportation systems. Chance Morgan had a car from the crazy awesome Brain Surge. DO NOT BE FOOLED by the tame look of this kiddie drop tower! It raped me of my virginity all over again! Wait until you see the video! Spiderman doesn't like Churros, but he loves Chicken & Rice!

crazydaveh Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Robb! I just started watching the video... Next time tell us about the language before hand buddy! Keep the photo updates coming!
