Geauga Dog Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Just getting home from work this has been a real treat to wind down my day. I appreciate your coverage of the show. I'm liking everything so far and look forward to more coverage soon.
Jew Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Did KMG have models or concept art for the other new rides they debuted this year? Also, that GCI big fun concept seems l ike it is going to be a HUGE hit! Small parks/family fun centers can now get a super cheap big ticket ride! Great coverage guys! Edited November 15, 2011 by Jew
SharkTums Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Ok, Robb is grabbing some food and on his way back to start getting the videos up! I have gone through the entire thread and made a list of pictures and questions to do tomorrow at the show! Any other requests or info just post and I'll see what we can do!
Chroniq Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Thanks Elissa and Robb for everything you two do. We're enjoying another year of the best IAAPA coverage in the tubes.
BiZaRpErMaN Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Just curious, how much does it cost to go? and Can anybody attend this event? I would love to go one time. I'm studying to be a mechanical engineer and work in the amusement park rides business, I hope.
KI Kidd Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Really liking those rafts for Mammoth, they look really comfortable!
RoCo Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Um, could somebody get that super-hot blonde TO MOVE OUT OF THE DAMNED WAY?!?
cfc Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 ^No. Big Fun looks like a potential winner for GCI--quite a boon for smaller parks who need a big attraction on a budget. Thanks for the coverage, Robb and Elissa. I'm looking forward to the videos.
QueerRudie Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Outstanding coverage again, TPR IAAPA crew... looking good all around. The new Spin N' Spews are looking nauseating as usual- including that thing from KMG that has "F&$K no way" written all over it (It is NOT a QR approved ride concept...) and some of the new waterslides make me want to venture into some of these parks.
screaminkid2005 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Wow! Great update guys! =D I can't wait to see the videos!!!
ernierocker Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 More photos! Robb Alvey hanging out with Walter Bolliger. Fishpipe... aka crazy-ass ride by the people who invented zorbing! "Yes, that's right... I'm panning for gold!" Hey look! It's Shane of Shane's Amusement Attic and Cowabunga Bay! Would you believe there is even new technology for Ropes Courses? No more "clang! clang! clang! clang!" Another shot of the REALLY SEXY Green Lantern car at S&S. Audio on or off? NERD SHOT!!! Audio system, I'm assuming? Some familiar looking footage being shown off at the GCI booth! And TPR footage at The Gravity Group as well! Angry Birds... ACEr sized!!!
Schotcher Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Walter Bolliger is great. Edited July 12, 2014 by Schotcher
donkeyman18 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Hey Robb FINISH EATING Im just kidding I really want to see the videos! Colin Really wants to go to IAAPA soon Goodwin!
Andrewoplis Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Thank you guys so much for these updates! One question though- did you guys talk to premier rides and did they say any thing about the whole rumor of the new Superman ride having a switch track station like Mr. freeze?
Bryce232 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Just got back from an amazing day at IAAPA. It was such an amazing experience getting to meet representatives from all of the major companies. Definitely the most educational experience of my life. I will never forget this day On the other hand, my dad will never forget taking a picture with miss Germany in front of mantas SEXYY car.
ernierocker Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 How about some more photos? First there was mini-donuts...now mini pancakes! YUM! Zipline POV!!! Ran into Dave Cobb from Thinkwell. We became blood brothers. It was awesome! So many inflatables..... Go Vekoma!!! Hard to see in this picture, but this crazy kids inflatable obstacle course was insanely cool! Gravity Group indoor themed woodie concept includes... SHARKS!!!! Another look at S&S's MiniHu kids ride. Seriously good fun! One of these things is hot...one is not. I'll let you figure it out. I found A.J.! Now all the TPR games forums kids know who to put on their kill list! I went around the show strangling random people. It was fun!
Moose Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks for the great updates. The big fun looks awesome I wonder it'll fit in my backyard
nitro4ever Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Yeah, and its only 3 million (not that thats exactly cheap but relative to other rides...)
Shavethewhales Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I'm surprised Zamperla doesn't have a bigger presence this year, or have you just not made it over there yet? They have such a huge catalog, I'm sure they've got at least a couple of new additions as well.
christianscoasters Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 "Big Fun" is like the Intamin Mega-Lite of wooden coasters
WFChris Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 LoQ for iPhone seems kind of difficult to implement at SF parks with their loose item policy. If you 'check-in' at the gate via your iPhone for say, Tatsu, how do you then store the device in a l.o.c.k.e.r?

You just have to wear clothes that accommodate holding a phone.
