IAAPA 2012 - Ask Ride Companies a Question!

[willh51]

Vekoma: Why did you change the restraints on the Human side of your Battlestar Galactica ride?

[willh51]

Vekoma: Any comment on all the Chinese knock-off Suspended Looping Coasters so clearly culled from your designs?

[XYZ]

Zamperla: In the future, will you put inversions on your motocoasters? I have to say, that would be pretty interesting.

[Blue Fire Guy]

Zamperla: Would you ever think of designing an enlarged, taller version of the Disk'O coaster with a larger disk?

[XYZ]

Maurer Sohne: Has anyone purchased your X-Train product yet?

[SixFlagsBoy]

I have a question for ALL the company's.

Are you or will you be working on a full circuit 500 ft. coaster?

Premier: What programs do you use in designing your rides?

[Rollercoaster Rider]

Zamperla: Would you ever think of designing an enlarged, taller version of the Disk'O coaster with a larger disk?

 

I think that would be called a Giant Frisbee.

 

 

 

B&M: What did you think of Thorpe saying Swarm took dummy's limbs off during test runs?

[soldier148]

Intamin: How much would it cost me to purchase a multi-looper coaster with 8 inversions?

[soldier148]

[RCF]

Anyone have questions for Lo-Q?

[Hilltopper39]

^For Lo-Q, do you ever see your products being able to expand into markets other than Amusement/water parks?

[jonnyfingers]

Lo-Q - You recently announced securing your first customer for Q-Smart, the Company’s new smartphone-based system, that customer being Walibi Holland. Will Walibi Holland act as a test-bed for this system? Or is it ready to be rolled out to other parks, and if so are any lined up?

[rollin_n_coastin]

Lo-Q: Would you ever see your mobile/ smart phone apps being used beyond the theme park industry (Building on another question above)? For example, to manage the queues that people dislike most (DMV, government agencies, passport offices, post offices, etc) by telling customers who register online to show up within a certain window of time at government agencies and receive express service for a nominal fee?

[Arne]

Lo-Q:

 

Will you make the devices smaller and lighter? The queuebots are great and really makes a day out at a park so much better! But they're quite bulky and can be a problem when going on rides. It would be handier with smaller and especiallly lighter devices!

[Zem]

To All Ride Companies: What advice do you have for people who wish to get jobs in the amusement rides industry and what college degrees/past experience do you look for when hiring new employees.

[Rollercoaster Rider]

Intamin: How much would it cost me to purchase a multi-looper coaster with 8 inversions?

 

 

Fahrenheit cost about 12.1 Million Dollars. I would guess about 16 million nowadays.

[spinning man]

Sorry if it's late.

 

Vekoma: Are there any plans to improve some of your old rides for 2013?

[SharkTums]
