Hilltopper39 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Great coverage again Robb, I can't decide if that Fishpipe looks really fun or just really weird, but I would definitely like to try the thing out. Seems like it would be a great addition to a water park as kind of a non-slide wet ride alternative of some sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom25 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Great updates as always. Thank you VERY much. Â Robb, I understand B&M can't talk about much, and yes, he's a bit stiff in-front of the camera, but did he mention anything about rotating seats on their wing rider coasters, and/or if 2013 will be as strong for them as 2012?

KingRCT3 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I wanna say a huge thanks you Robb (and co) for these photos and videos coverages, this is so awesome!  Otherwise, do you planned to go in Europe next year? The new Maurer Sohne at Bayern Park (Freischütz) looks so atomic and no POV are out nowaday.. I hope we'll be able to hear some "Weee!" and "Twistyyy!" soon.  Anyway, we're still tuned!

Im4JeffG24 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The Red Velvet funnel cakes look great. Just had an idea. Coaster powered by water in a hallow tube somehow moves the car. Is this already been done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very clear with me before the interview that he was unable to talk about anything that hasn't been announced or information that wasn't released yet, so I respected that and didn't even bring up any new technology or any rumors that have been floating around the internet.

BillyTalent Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I have never heard of IAAPA before, but hell this is another convention that looks great. Also I like the fact that it isn't too crowded and the companies take the time to talk to the visitors. Great videos and photos TPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asimowalk Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'm watching Part 4 of the IAAPA video and I'm dying with the Fishpipe thing. Â Also, while I also call them "Mon-dial", I thought the actual pronunciation is "Mon-de-al". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Benvenuto Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Great updates as always. Thank you VERY much. Robb, I understand B&M can't talk about much, and yes, he's a bit stiff in-front of the camera, but did he mention anything about rotating seats on their wing rider coasters, and/or if 2013 will be as strong for them as 2012? He was very clear with me before the interview that he was unable to talk about anything that hasn't been announced or information that wasn't released yet, so I respected that and didn't even bring up any new technology or any rumors that have been floating around the internet.   Actually that's understandable with all the rides they have to build and the planned attractions coming up as time goes on. He was abit stiff like said before, but, I can see why.  Awesome video too, the Fishpipe segment was funny and entertaining to watch. Zamperla despite my mishappenings with their rides, it sounds like they're having a grand time. It's good to hear they've been getting so many clients and being the head of some real good and decent quality projects.  Thanks again, great video!

larrygator Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I wonder how well a Big Fun would into the footprint of, say, a Vekoma Boomerang. Â My guess is that the footprint for a Boomerang is larger than two Wild Mouse coasters, so it should fit. At least I think Chris Gray said Big Fun takes up the space of two Wild "Mice".

A.J. Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Your own IAAPA Bag-O-Crap will never be as cool as a TPR one, because I didn't fart in yours! Fine. I will settle for inadequacy once again. Maybe I'll fart in it myself and feel a little better. Â The Wing Coaster shrine was getting a little lonely, anyway...

VinTheAttendant Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I was pleasantly surprised at the sense of humor Chris Gray had in the video. I was actually laughing hysterically at the random figures that were around the Europa coaster. I have never been this entertained watching interviews, this is amazing!

Hilltopper39 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Was the model of the new GCI for Europa a working model or just a model model? Regardless it was amazing, incredible detail! I love IAAPA coverage from TPR every year, really makes me miss the amusement industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
