SuperShawn Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thank you everyone for all the hard work to bring us an overload of great coverage from this years show! I'm loving all the video interviews and photo updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspaz1000 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks again for all the awesome work! Can't wait to watch the 4th video after I get home from the dentist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 The interview with Intamin was great. When he talked about Skyrush, he had a lot to talk about on the restraints. Also, that be cool if Alan from RMC does show up to either SDC or Fiesta while TPR is there. Again, awesome videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeykaise Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 awesome videos and looks like a fun time to be had. Is IAAPA open to anyone that can afford a ticket or do you have to have certain credentials to attend? I would love to go to one of these sometime if its open to the general public.

A.J. Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'm pretty sure that anyone can register and attend - http://www2.iaapa.org/expos/attractions/2012/registration/index.asp Err, you'll want to register for the -2013- Expo if you decide you want to go.

willh51 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I like Sandor's comments on Skyrush, which I'm translating to mean: "Skyrush is intense, haters going to hate!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 These interviews are better than TV, the newest SciFi movie, and Netflix! Can't wait to watch the newest one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Sandor had the best interview in my opinion. He didn't seem hesitate to talk about any subject. It's good that he went into a little depth on the Skyrush restraint "issue" and didn't just do the normal "We are working with the park." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that he went into a little depth on the Skyrush restraint "issue" and didn't just do the normal "We are working with the park." Intamin is a great example of how TPR has been building relationships with the ride companies. Over the years Sandor has been more open to discuss things with us as other sites have burned them by posting "off the record" items, etc. We also have been working with Intamin quite a bit for ride footage. Every video at the Intamin booth was shot by TPR, many times with the assistance of Intamin. They also gave us lots of stuff to give away for our IAAPA Bag-O-Crap contests! While some other sites have been all "Ha Ha! We got the scoop" and posted things that were specifically asked not to be posted, it sure pays off in the long run for TPR and our readers by being trustworthy as we now get the better interviews while other sites who burned their bridge for one-time bragging rights are turned away. Glad you guys liked the interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Mutts Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Great coverage Robb! I'm glad to hear from Intamin isn't changing Skyrush TOO much as I thought it was pretty much perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonorailORANGE Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Had to give a quick thanks for getting the opportunity to attend IAAPA this year! It was awesome meeting Robb, Elissa and Kristina at Zamperla! I apologize for the small picture size as I had some trouble uploading them at any other size.

australianalex Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Great video yet again, love the Intamin interview. I'm also quite happy to hear that Intamin most likely won't be adding inversions to their woodies, I think they're good enough with the awesome airtime they deliver and an inversion would be a bit unnessecary. Plus, with RMC and TGG doing wooden inversions and GCI being open and enthusiastic to the idea it I don't think it'll be long until wooden inversions aren't seen as being very unique or exciting anymore. I wish I'd thought to ask whether Intamin have had any interest in their woodies lately, because the world needs more of them! The Air Race video is making me really excited about the one coming to Dreamworld now. Looks like a really cool ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'm pretty sure that anyone can register and attend - http://www2.iaapa.org/expos/attractions/2012/registration/index.asp Err, you'll want to register for the -2013- Expo if you decide you want to go. Please note that aside from the high price to attend, IAAPA is a trade show. Companies are there to promote and sell their products, and industry people are there to look at said products and also to network. It's really not exciting as it looks in the photos, since everyone is there for business purposes. TPR's coverage will honestly be better than what you could get yourself on the floor as just an average visitor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Wow. Like .0013 seconds into the interview with B&M, Walt B. himself references this fabled B&M rattle that I laugh about anytime I read a post complaining about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The link to your IAAPA coverage video part 4 on the main page is coming up broken to me. I copied the link address if that helps: http://www.themeparkreview.com/Part%204%20of%20TPR/ Now I guess I'll do a search on youtube. Loving the coverage by the way.
