Moose Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 This sounds like it could be the best ever bag-O-crap!
Gerstlauer1 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 A second video!! What a awesome surprise!
DougMJr Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 So, with mammoth... Is the idea that they could switch out rafts to increase capasity depening on how heavy crowds are that day? The only issue I see with running multiple styles of rafts on the same circuit is patrons battleing for their desired raft. Â IAAPA looks like a lot of fun, and also a lot of work. Thanks for the great coverage and I hope you guys are enjoying the show!

cfc Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I think you should hire Hauntrepreneurs to design the official TPR headquarters.
ernierocker Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Day 2 continues! Â Â It's already better than World of Color! Â Â More haunt animatronics! Â Â And this velociraptor could be yours for just eight thousand bucks! Â Â Lock and load, bitches! Â Â The ACE booth. Â Â I get 3D and 4D... But WTF is 9D???? Â Â The Kuka arm was sculpting a Kuka arm. Â Â It was an attack of the singing chickens!!! Edited November 16, 2011 by ernierocker
CoasterG Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Great updates! Â Any idea if tomorrow and Friday are general public admission days with the reduced admission price?
kenshinmac Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Man I hate coverage of trade shows... I guess I don't hate the coverage but afterwards I always feel somewhat empty. That and the fact that I'm not there. Â Thanks for all the great info so far Robb and Elissa. This rocks!
Brandy524 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 And the awesome coverage continues! Great job!
coastercrzyjames Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Loving the coverage of IAAPA, great job & thanks! I'd definitely want to attend sometime, although I say that every year when it comes around! GCI's Big Fun looks bada$$, hopefully many smaller parks will catch on to their great concept!
RoCo Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Kuka arm sculpting Kuka arm... so meta it's making my head explode. Â "ACE booth" caption in strong lead for funniest so far. LOL'd very hard. Â "Big Fun" concept in strong lead for awardiest so far. Wanting very hard. Â Haven't watched the videos yet, but IT'S ALL GOLD. Muchas gracias!
buttonman700 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 How I miss going ti IAAPA.  So you've been by my buddy Leonard's booth, haunterpenuers.  If you get the chance stop in and say hello to the guys at Froggy's Fog, and Dark Lights , and any of my other haunted house pals.  Love the up dates you guys, thank you!  Ed Roberts,  nightmarefactorysalem.cpm  westcoasthauntersconvention.com
ernierocker Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 More updates! Â Â Ok, this might actually be the creepiest thing at the show! Â Â More dark ride and haunt vendors. Â Â The show isn't going so well for this guy. Â Â Tons of stuff like this all over IAAPA. Â Â Good thing I have $750 on me! Â Â Why yes that is Adam and Jake in a giant wet ball. Â Â This looked like some sort of perverted sex act but was really quite fun and awesome!!! And yes, Jake is doing some sort of man split! Â Â Here's Adam the moment he ate shit in the Fishpipe! Â Â His nose Wiggles and vibrates and is beyond creepy!!! Â Keep checking back for more photos!
Noxegon Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Lo-q on your iphone? Really? This solves basically every single problem anyone has ever had with lo-q's old system (Like parks dealing with loss mitigation, or teenagers who aren't allowed to rent because they don't have a season pass/id/credit card). If I owned Lo-q I'd also use this system for targeted offers or personalized experiences. So much potential here. Is there any information on which parks are ready to implement or what additional features the system will have? Â It also introduces one major new one; international users who can't use the system without paying a small fortune in data roaming costs.
Moose Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 International visitors make up only a very very small percentage of most parks guests (exception being Disney and the like) Â Thanks for the updates. What the hell goes on in that fish pipe?
cfc Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Good thing I have $750 on me! Â Holy crap! How much is a real slab of beef?
ernierocker Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 More from Day 2 at IAAPA 2011! Â Â Here's the Jake & Adam "before" picture. Â Â Here are the boys IN the Fishpipe. Â Â And the "after" picture! Â Â Red Velvet funnel cake??? Â Â Our friends at Amusement Today! Â Â Some products from Mondial. Â Â Mondial hints at something "new." Â Â Yay! We found Rick & Johanna from Theme Park Adventure! Â Keep checking back for more photos! And remember to "like" the TPR Facebook page if you haven't already, as Robb is posting photos live to the page! Â http://www.facebook.com/themeparkreview
BeemerBoy Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Gatlinburg strip, this is calling your name.....
cfc Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 "The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant Accordionist" would be the scariest horror-movie concept ever!
ernierocker Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Gatlinburg strip, this is calling your name..... Â I was just thinking that they stole the guy on the right from one of those tourist traps in Gatlinburg!
ernierocker Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 In case you guys missed this yesterday, this has to be one of the most interesting concepts that has come out of IAAPA 2011 so far: Â The Big Fun from GCI! Â Â Â All yours for just $3 Million! Â Check out more at GCI's Facebook Page: Â http://www.facebook.com/GreatCoasters
Chroniq Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 The Kuka robot arm photo made my day. I wonder how many IAAPAs will take place before we see a Kuka arm building another kuka arm. Â Does the 8 grand velociraptor move at all? I'm assuming for that price it doesn't . If it's an actual animatronic, then I'm selling a kidney and putting that in my living room.
