Garet Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 *Sees the triotech hands-free shooting ride and remembers Lotte World has a lot of screen-based rides, dark rides, and seems to collect shooting rides. Assumes it's coming 2017/2018* Â *Sees the Intamin tower simulator ride and remembers Lotte World has a lot of screen-based rides, dark rides and seems to collect intamin (they do seem to have a lot from the catalogue ) Really hopes it's coming 2017/2018* Â In all seriousness though, that looks like it would work really well at Lotte World. With them having to add scream shields to Gyro Drop and Gyro Swing and Atlantis being mostly enclosed, it seems noise is a big issue with the apartments so close (one of the priciest areas in the capital) and they've spent the last 5 years adding shooting rides/simulators as new additions, a enclosed ride like that themed to a tower on the Atlantis building or something similar would work well, enclosing it would work with the limitations they have and it's similar enough to what they already have while being different enough to provide something new.

SFOGdude25 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I saw that PTC had an announcement scheduled for tomorrow and TPR just tweeted that they'll be unveiling a new train tomorrow. I'm interested to see what it is. They've basically have been taken out of the market for selling new trains to put on new coasters. Perhaps they're thinking they can sell a new modern design promised to reduce maintenance on coasters that are already using their trains. Same! I'm super pumped to see what PTC has in store to potentially compete with Timberliners, Millennium Flyers and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMe Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) The Ultra Tower looks very interesting. Busch Gardens ride also. I do get it Robb, we all have to keep in mind that as geeks we are very lucky to have eyes within this trade show via TPR.

Gutterflower Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Martin And Vleminckx just posted their IAAPA 2015 video on youtube. And wow is it good.

Projektion Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The patent number on the Mini T-rex is the same as what's on the board for the full size one, so it's some variation of the T-rex track. Â Maybe it's Hulk's new track... /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWFan Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Robb, any chance you can swing back by Sally's booth and get a shot of the Justice League model? Thanks for all the updates and photos! Here's one I took today. I'll get a more close-up of it tomorrow. Woodie Warrior, just so you don't get your hopes up, the only JL model Sally has (according to their VP of Project Management) is the one from the Alien Invasion ride, rather than the new rides at SFSL and SFOT. However, the model is still really fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marth555 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I love the models of Cobras Curse and Mammoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Considering RMC has tiny version of all their other tracks, I think this is just the regular Trex one. They have the full scale model as well because it's new and never been build, maybe? But for the following years, they'll be using the green display only. Â Yeah, I saw the Justice League model at the EAS, and it's the Australian version. But Sally's models are always amazing to look at nonetheless! Â I don't get Maurer's wing coaster concept. What's the point of sitting on the outside of the track if you're still enclosed in a tight car? The trains look cool, I just don't get the point. Look again, you're seating like on a motorcycle, and you only have a seatbelt! That's not what I would call "enclosed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The new Gravity Group woodie for Walibi Rhone Alpes looks great! Gravity Group have proven with several of their coasters that it doesn't have to be very large to be a hell of a lot of fun, and I'm sure this will be no exception. Also love the train, looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyland255 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Will there be anything on Ghostrider from Knott's at IAAPA? I've skimmed all the pages, but haven't seen anything yet. Great coverage so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I think Saw-The Ride would be better with train design like that! Really like Gravity Group's train designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlaKoaster Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks everyone for taking the time to upload pictures and commentary... I know it's such a long, busy day for you guys so the effort you go to is really appreciated! Â The GCI stand looks great. Love all the wood detail all over it, such a nice touch. And I see they're still giving away those same tote bags! I've still got mine from when I visited 5 years ago! I think RMC has the most exciting offerings at the moment. I love how they're really shaking the industry up at the moment and almost just doing their own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
