cfc Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks so much for covering this! I am so jealous of KidTums! I want to meet Alan Schilke! [EDIT] I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but Wikipedia says Alan Schilke is the one behind the Poler Coaster. Alan's company - Ride Centerline, is doing the design for it. Alan has involvement with it, but I think Joe Draves is the actual guy doing a lot of the design. He's the guy who also designed Lightning Run. And Lightning Run turned out great, which makes me even more interested in the Poler Coaster. Edited November 22, 2014 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhcbiinoc Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 A great job covering IAAPA again this year once again, have been revisiting all of the reports again today. I really enjoyed the live and interactive feel of everything, and I think the new format was a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastered Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Great coverage, but still 1 question. Screamscape has some news about a FunSpot announcement at IAAPA, about a Chance Hyper GT-X style coaster like Lightning Run at Kentucky Kingdom they are getting in one of their parks. The coaster would be called Gatorland Express and the lead car of the train would be themed to look like a gator head. Do you know their was some kind of announcement about this coaster or is this just plain bullshit? http://screamscape.com/html/fun_spot.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 ^ I don't know, but I've been certainly telling John Sr. and Jr. at the park how awesome Lightning Run was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheBooker Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Glad to see another Hyper-GTX going in next year, I've been drooling at LR all year Not trying to bash Screamscape, but do we have any definitive proof of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Screamscape never said they had proof either. Here's how they ended their story: Did anyone else attend the luncheon/keynote at IAAPA last week from Fun Spot management who can confirm this? I like I said, I spoke to the guys from Fun Spot at IAAPA and they said they were certainly "thinking" about it, but that was early on. I told them that it was an amazing ride, and who knows, with enough good press they might have heard from the show maybe they went over to the Chance booth and bought one! Crazier things have happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I certainly hope this happens! Not that I need another excuse to head down to Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
