robbalvey Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thank you for all the great IAAPA coverage Rob!!! Does Huss have anything new this year? I am wondering the same thing. I love Huss rides and they seem to have fizzled out in the past few years on installs. Are they really just doing parts now? They had basically nothing at their booth. Not even anything worthy to take a booth photo of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Great updates. Love the launched wooden shuttle and the "high five coaster". Just shows that wooden coasters can do anything nowadays. Anything on Bill Kitchen's new concept SkyQuest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmenace8 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thanks for all the great coverage. You've given everyone a chance to see from the inside, the business of what goes on behind the closed doors. I was really glad to see the picture of the model of Mission Space. The scale of the ride is almost shocking. Only in Europe would they be that ambitious these days. I'd ride it in a minute if I ever got the chance. A big thank you to everyone else who also had information about that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saginawhxc Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Holy crap. Took a couple days off from reading TPR and it took over an hour to read through all of this. Awesome coverage. It is very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) All this, and an interview with Spider-man to boot--what's not to love about the IAAPA updates? Thanks for the interview with Sandor Kernacs, Robb. Looks like another banner year for Intamin in 2011. Edited November 18, 2010 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Does Huss have anything new this year? They had basically nothing at their booth. Not even anything worthy to take a booth photo of. This is very disappointing, hope they have some stuff in the pipe as they are one of my favorite flat makers. BTW Robb, if you happen to be over by the giant inflatable outdoor things, would you mind letting Prince D out of the air vent, or, at the very least, give him a fresh cell phone battery?

andyuk200523 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Heli Hopper is the funniest ride I have seen in a long time! I certainly was not expecting it to drop that intensely! (although I am guessing Robb didn't either!) Great coverage of the event guys, you seem to have a lot of respect in the industry, good work!

A.J. Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 The drop tower looks crazy scary. Why would little kids even want to ride the thing if it's going to scare the stuffing out of them? If you stop pedaling, does the helicopter stop in its tracks? That could be a fun game - get as close to the top as you can, and if you drop, you lose!

matteocrepaldi Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thank you again for the updates! Can't wait for more! Can you ask at Mack about the project for Etnaland (Italy) ? It's listed on RCDB as a launched coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
