IAAPA 2012 - Ask Ride Companies a Question!

[GrapesLie]

Rocky Mountain Coaster Company: Needless to say the work your company is doing is groundbreaking! Has you company considered designing and marketing a launched wood coaster?

[rcjp]

B&M: The only launched coaster you have ever built has a rather unusual launch system. Are there any future plans to build any launched coaster that uses something like LSMs or LIMs?

[Voxelmatic]

Intamin: Has anyone contacted you about making a newer generation of Mega-Lite coasters?

[eBen]

To any company, "Do you have a favorite country to build rides in, if so why?"

[Rollercoaster Rider]

To Any Company:

 

Was there a ride you built/designed and were shocked by It's popularity?

[fluorite]

First, thank you for this great opportunity!

Intamin Q1: Do you have any concrete plans for replacement RC of Eagle Fortress in Everland?

[fluorite]

Intmain Q2: I Do you have any mear-future recruitment or internship places for students?

[Arne]

B&M:

 

You utilize a box-track system for your roller coasters that dates far back to the days when you (Claude and Walter) where still employees at Intamin. Where you (Claude and Walter) the guys responsible for inventing the box-track system? Why do you still use this system when the rest of the industry has moved on and generally works with framed structures for their track? And what do you see as the main advantage with the boxtrack system? Thanks!

Intamin- Will there be a 9,000+ or 10,000+ foot long coaster in the near future?

[coasterman17]

Intamin- Will you make a 400+ foot tall coaster that does NOT launch?

[FJM8]

Intamin AG-We all know Furius Baco, in the Spanish park PortAventura, is actually a good roller-coaster, but do you have plans to make it smoother, as it a bit rough at this time?

Intaminn AG- [2] Do you have plans to make new and better winged coasters?

[Zem]

Can we ask some question to water slide companies as well? If so:

 

Proslides: You have changed the rules for water slides with your uphill launches on water rides. Do you plan on adding any more rides with these features in the upcoming years, and are you planning any other changes to the general style of water slides?

 

It says "Ask Ride Companies A Question" so I guess that includes companies that don't necessarily make coasters.

RMC: What was the reasoning behind putting an overbanked turn as the first inversion on Outlaw Run rather than another barrel roll, did you come to Silver Dollar City with this or did they ask for this.

[Randomman295]

(Premier) Do you have any more advancements in the field of indoor roller coaster technology? We've all been waiting for another coaster to rival Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Orlando.

[Hydraglow]

Intamin: Have you received interest from any parks on plans to break the current height or speed record?

[robbalvey]

Can we ask some question to water slide companies as well?

Of course. We will most likely speak to Proslide at WhiteWater.

[VinTheAttendant]

Zierer: Has interest in your offerings increased with the success of Verbolten and Polar X-Plorer?

[angryemobeaver]

Intamin: Are Megalites just not ideal for American parks, or is there another reason as to why none have been built here yet?

[angryemobeaver]

S&S: Your Space Shots and other tower rides are very popular, but are there any plans to innovate them? Intamin recently changed the restraint system for it's drop towers, can we expect you to do the same?

[CoasterGuy06]

WhiteWater West: How do you plan to market your new acquisition Hopkins Rides to more traditional waterparks?

[aldo]

Intamin - The Looping Starship was a very popular ride when it debuted in the mid-80's. Will Intamin come out with a new generation of the Looping Starship or maybe improve the restraints of the ride?

[ugaman15]

Any Company- what does it take to get a job as a designer?

[willh51]

Mauer: Will we be seeing the 4-across X-Car trains in action any time soon?

[willh51]

Gerstlauer: Any particular reason why some of your 2012 Eurofighters had lapbars and others had OTSRs?
