Jason Maier Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I was very pleased that someone from my home park (Six Flags America) won the 2015 Brass Ring for Best Female Performer . . . . Ilyana Eberhardt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks for the updates Robb, been following along all day. Apparently I am late to the party but I had no idea that Seaworld San Antonio coaster was an Intamin. That's cause for celebration, people! The U.S. Intamin drought has ended!

LeoBruz199 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 What coaster's that dragon-shaped timberliner for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelRush Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 What coaster's that dragon-shaped timberliner for? I don't know of any so far, I believe it's just a showcase of another zero car sculpt. Similar to the grey triceratops they showed a few years ago, which became the basis for the one on Roar-o-Saurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRice92 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thant's for bringing all the great coverage, I turned on twitter notifications on my phone for all the updates your're posting. That's cause for celebration, people! The U.S. Intamin drought has ended! That's exactly what I was thinking too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrockerthegreat Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 What coaster's that dragon-shaped timberliner for? Probably somewhere in China, if only there was more Gravity Group roller coasters inside the U.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 What coaster's that dragon-shaped timberliner for? It's just a concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 What coaster's that dragon-shaped timberliner for? I'm pretty sure it's for a triple dueling Game of Thrones themed wooden coaster, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 This is my favorite time of year!! Can't wait to follow along with the updates. Thanks Robb, and all others who work hard to keep us updated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Another massive update from IAAPA 2016! Make sure to follow TPR on Twitter for live updates! https://twitter.com/themeparkreview [twitter] [/twitter] [twitter] [/twitter][twitter] [/twitter][twitter] [/twitter][twitter] [/twitter] Every video game and claw machine is here! Who likes racing games? They even have a Walking Dead game. Even after all these years, Space Invaders is still a great game! Polin is really becoming a leader in waterpark attractions. We can't wait to try out those slides on Royal Caribbean next week! Their models are some of the best! Storm Racer looks like a lot of fun. Checking out new hotness from Triotech. Big announcements from them later this afternoon! Love all the stuff Mack Rides is putting out lately. It looks like a pretzel with wings. We were skeptical of so much VR being put on coasters around the world but these guys do it right. This VR experience is Elissa approved. It must have been a ride through a cheese factory. Now testing at Fun Spot America, Orlando! Zamperla is showing off rides, VR and coasters! This looks like a fun flat ride! But now it also has VR! Everyone knows PTC trains. They're on a ton of wooden coasters around the planet. Wow, that's quite the list! The 'Merica train. They even have a bling train! Time to eat! First up, where we eat to get all the juicy theme park gossip, Dippin Dots! Next on our culinary adventure we devoured some delicious Beaver Tails! Even though they haven't been at Epcot for a long time, they are still around, and still very popular! Janice approves of the food and the greaseless fryer. Next it was time for something savory. Cheese to the rescue! And it was in the delicious form of a curd. These curds are Elissa approved! We ventured outside and found...more inflatables! They get bigger and more elaborate every year. They even have miniature golf inflatables. The Sling Shot looks like a lot of fun! We love where the future is taking us with wearable tech options at the parks to cover all of your needs. And to think, all these used to be different things to have to carry. All combined down to the size of a watch. Hey! Look who is up on the big screen at the Intamin booth! Jack Crouse showing off his ZDT Amusement Switchback photo on display at the Gravity Group booth! The revolving theater attraction from Dynamic Attractions looks amazing! It has an "open" section that opens up to physical sets. This shows some examples of different sets you can use. This is a really cool idea! Taking a look at the new Sea World Texas Sea Rescue ride vehicle with Sandor from Intamin! They look really nice. They look comfy as well! French Fries and Lemonade? Sure! Just a few of the amusement park treats you can find at IAAPA! Bill's lemonade is world famous! Tatostix have a unique way of frying potatoes! Tons of flavors to choose from!

canadianparkfan Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 What coaster's that dragon-shaped timberliner for? Speaking of dragon stuff, looks like Golden-Horse (or should I say Dragon) is stepping up their game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 That "revolving theater" concept reminds me a bit of the old Musical Circus ride at Parque Espana in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 That Mack pretzel thingy, is like a Premier Sky Rocket II with spinning cars?? Pretty much. And it looks amazing!!! Maybe this is what SDC is getting for 2018?! Maybe all the land they have cleared is for this, and a new expansion area!! I hope Mack becomes more popular in the US. Same!!
