CoasterGuy06 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Going from Walter to Rick is such a drastic transition Awesome job as always Robb, Elissa, & crew!
Angry_Gumball Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for posting! While I understand that some companies don't want to spill the beans and I respect that, there was not much beefy & meaty stuff to the B&M segment, still enjoyable but definitely the polar opposite of S&S, Pro Slide's, and even Rocky Mountain's segments.
DJeXeL Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Walter doesn't seem very talkative in any interview I've seen but it is very nice of him to take time out of his day to let you ask him some questions. Thanks for the videos!!
Mrlittle Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Another great video. Thanks for more awesome interviews. I can't wait to see more.
kidcoaster 2 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for the great coverage Robb! Maybe next year I will finally get down there. Any chance you could swing by the Haunt related booths?
azza29 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Great coverage - the new ProSlide slides (ProSlides?) look incredible. Definitely making a special trip to Sydney just to ride the bowling alley!
Garet Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 I found Kevin Rowher's complete honesty quite refreshing when he was talking about the capacity on the free-flyer, i feel like you don't see that so often when you're at these kind of trade shows where they are trying to sell their products.
GrapesLie Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks so much guys! Awesome stuff seriously! Only thing that could make it better is being there in person. Yeah you're definitely making this train ride to Chicago much more enjoyable!
A.J. Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Is there anything that you haven't covered yet in the show? I can certainly play scout, because I'll be there again today.
robbalvey Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 ....and part THREE of our video coverage! Some great interviews with GCI and Gravity Group!
sspaz1000 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Can't wait to watch the videos! But great coverage so far!
jedimaster1227 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 We've got some more photos from the show floor to share! Nothing says "pizza" like the Noble Roman's Chef Pizza Monster! A bag of crap or two might just have some gems that we panned out of the trough here... 3DBA had a huge model for an indoor, Ice Age (the movie franchise) themed water park. Giant trampolines anyone? An odd looking simulator ride model... TPR loves the Fishpipe! Time to get some ice cream from a robot! Domo Arrigato Mr. Roboto! Here's a trackless enhanced motion vehicle that works in operation on the show floor. For all of you wheel enthusiasts... This may be the neatest climbing attraction ever. Fantawild showed of its master plan for a huge theme park and resort. It looks like there would be some new credits to get... Also found on the show floor was SkyRide, a concept pitched to the investors of Shark Tank last season. Take a look at the ride and this guy's sales pitch to the investors! http://abc.go.com/shows/shark-tank/episode-detail/episode-313/959095?page=2 Gerstlauer always has some incredibly detailed models around their booth. They also had a model of the company's Sky Fly flat ride. It is good to know Miler is still around! A look at the new seats for the Sochi Winter Olympics space shot.
chadster Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Any truth to the rumor that Prince Desmond was seen attempting to save teh GolDEn HOrSE booth?
PKI Jizzman Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Looks like the best IAAPA yet! This is amazing, great coverage. Thanks so much for all the IN DEPTH photos and interviews!
cfc Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 That simulator model is rather intriguing. It looks like it might be more versatile than the older, "Star Tours" like system.
RoCo Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Looks like the best IAAPA yet! This is amazing, great coverage. Thanks so much for all the IN DEPTH photos and interviews! Agreed on everything; this is all just another strong sign that the amusement industry is well into a new period of growth and innovation, SO EXCITING! Geeking out pretty hard over that FantaWild park model; very highly awesome.
DJeXeL Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 I'm also glad to see S&S finally doing a single tower, higher capacity design. I know they already have smaller single tower designs but with the wider tower diameter they can go higher with the single tower while at the same time increasing capacity.
SharkTums Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Agreed on everything; this is all just another strong sign that the amusement industry is well into a new period of growth and innovation, SO EXCITING! Exactly! I even spotted several representatives from the hard hit Hurricane Sandy Parks all smiles on the show floor looking around and most likely BUYING!!!!
ernierocker Posted November 15, 2012 Author Posted November 15, 2012 Can you take even more IAAPA photos?!?! We are back at IAAPA 2012! Ready for an interview with Vekoma? It's IAAPA... That means... Pizza!!! Domo EVERYWHERE! (We love this!!!) Checking out the Mack Rides booth. What is your favorite B&M roller coaster??? Fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo. I don't think Andrew did so well on the zip line! Checking out the Zierer's booth. Rocky Mountain shows us the difference between Topper Track and I-Beam track. Sandor Kernacs of Intamin gave TPR a GREAT interview. Look forward to it online soon! Yup, Huss was here too!
Mrlittle Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 I loved the GCI interview. Someone from TPR needs to date that guy so we can get insider information. Gravity Group's interview was on fire. I can't wait for the Intamin interview.
Geauga Dog Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 I wanted to wait until more videos and photos were posted before replying and I want to thank all of you for the fantastic coverage of IAAPA. I'm jealous. Maybe I'll ask Santa for one of those new S&S Free Fly coasters for Christmas. It looks AMAZING!
singemfrc Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Walter doesn't seem very talkative in any interview I've seen but it is very nice of him to take time out of his day to let you ask him some questions. Thanks for the videos!! I love how after every question when Robb put the microphone to him he had kind of a deer in the headlights look for a few seconds
KBrylczyk Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Wait, Huss is still around? Yes, I am joking. They've just been exceptionally silent recently.
SharkTums Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 ^Oh they're there, and they have a big picture of a Topple Tower on their booth!!!!
