ECZenith Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 We are onnnnn an (inflatable) log fluuuuuume! I wonder if that Rollin' Thunder car they were showing off at the Zamperla booth is for the new park in Alabama. I'm loving the updates guys, thanks very much for them.

Johnlloyd Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 We are onnnnn an (inflatable) log fluuuuuume! I wonder if that Rollin' Thunder rolling stock they were showing off at the Zamora booth is for the new park in Alabama. I'm loving the updates guys, thanks very much for them. IAAPA = Theme Park Christmas According to a tweet which Zamperla re-tweeted on Twitter, the Rollin' Thunder car will be headed off to the new park in Alabama. I like it how this new car designed by Zamperla has a vest restraint opposed to a seat belt like vest restraint which is featured on Thunderbolt at Luna Park which caused some levels of uncomfortableness according to peopel who have rode it. But, I think it would be better if the vest was eliminated all together. Anyhow, the new car they produced still looks great! Thanks Robb for keeping us updated at IAPPA! I look forward to more posts! Many of the new ride and attraction concepts look amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanthonyam Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Wow love that Mack version of the Pretzel loop/Premier thing. With spinning cars too! I wonder if RMC knows what is going on with Wildfire over in Sweden? Is it closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I wonder how those tato sticks taste, I'm a proponent of anything potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZambeziZinger Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I hope Mack becomes more popular in the US. I have a strong feeling that they'll have a big reveal at next year's convention for a park that has a log & axe in its logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a ropes course with a cloud coaster surrounding it. I've had an unhealthy obsession with this attraction since it was revealed several years ago. It's called No Boundaries, and it's made by WhiteWater Attractions: From what I understand, the idea is to have a single monumental play area where both harnessed and non-harnessed participants can climb and play at the same height. Non-harnessed participants play on the climbers, nets etc in the central core of the space while harnessed participants play on the typical ropes course obstacles on the outside, culminating in a Cloud Coaster-like zip track ride from the top to the bottom.

Mr. Corn Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 As I posted on my Instagram earlier today, my top secret source has informed me that Quassy will be annoucing one of those cloned spinning coasters from SBF Visa Group. I'm wondering when it will be announced!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelRush Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 If you guys hadn't noticed, Sally Corp made a Five Nights at Freddy's "animatronic," and honestly I think its very silly and not very good compared to what they have been capable of in the past. What are your opinions on it, and do you think they should make a FNAF dark ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanTPM Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 ^It's a terrible looking car that's for sure. I wonder why they changed the design from the one used on Coney Island's Thunderbolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It looks like they really don't want you putting your hands up like you can on Thunderbolt. Ironic considering the photo right next to the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 ^^^Not going to lie...I instantly got a headache as I took that picture! Zamperla should farm their trains out to another company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 This thing is pretty cool. It seems to be inspired by the flying cage rides that used to be at Knoebels and a bunch of other small parks. Obviously it's no longer human powered which takes away a lot of the fun, but on the plus side it has a higher capacity and won't put the ride operators (who were responsible for standing in the way of the heavy and fast moving cages and pushing them to get them going) in serious fear for their lives. The original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 If you guys hadn't noticed, Sally Corp made a Five Nights at Freddy's "animatronic," and honestly I think its very silly and not very good compared to what they have been capable of in the past. What are your opinions on it, and do you think they should make a FNAF dark ride? I could only find one short video online (hopefully TPR will get some more pics and videos of it) but I'm a fan of FNAF and anything creepy, and the series is really popular, so I totally could see a FNAF-themed dark ride. I also heard they're making a FNAF movie, so building a ride relative to the movie release could prove very strategic. Thanks for the IAPPA updates so far! It's always great to see TPR's coverage of IAAPA, and I'm looking forward to what else is in store this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
