ElvisLuv Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Has that M&V out-and-back been built yet anywhere? I really like that layout especially because it seems to be reintroducing the minimalistic layout that CCI introduced with Shivering Timbers. It seems to be a catalog item that has small layout options as posted on TPR before http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/files/fireball_427.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) If you get all bent out of shape and filled with fanboy rage when someone calls it a coaster even though you don't think it's a coaster then you need to go get laid. ...or at least stop reading TPR. (C'mon Bill...why do you give these people an impossible goal???) Edited November 15, 2017 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I am so damn impressed by Skyline Attractions products! That Horizon model looks badass. I hope one pops up soon cause I’ll make a trip to ride it. Haven’t been this stoked for a flat in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoasterKing Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I used to think differently but then I pulled the stick out of my butt and decided that if it has a train car that runs on a track than it's a roller coaster. I was just wondering what all you other coaster nerds thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 More from IAAPa-Gravity Group and Great Coasters International! Always nice to see some of our TPR members featured at the Gravity Group booth. Always a pleasure chatting with the guys at Great Coasters! And be sure to pick up a bag from them at IAAPA HQ!

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 If you get all bent out of shape and filled with fanboy rage when someone calls it a coaster even though you don't think it's a coaster then you need to go get laid. ...or at least stop reading TPR. (C'mon Bill...why do you give these people an impossible goal???) Oh but I thought having the highest coaster count guaranteed you were going to get laid? The more pictures I see of that Time Traveler train, the more I love it. I didn't know it lit up like that, but it's great! Also, I'm a bit confused by the pictures of the Twisted Cyclone train. Maybe I'm being dumb, but why do the seats look off-kilter from the front? Is the front unattached from the first row? Those trains look beautiful too. Anyone know if we will get to see Steel Vengeance trains at IAPPA? Thanks for even more awesome footage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollin_n_coastin Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 This is such an awesome off-season re-charge. I'm still so fascinated with Intamin's booth and whatever Sandor has cookin'. Nothing will change. haha On the wooden coaster side, M&V + GG = Awesome. The sesame street coaster train is something. Fresh mini donuts are the best. Tiny Tom Donuts finally made it into Wonderland after decades of being a fair staple. Watching those machines as a kid was like oily, sugary magic haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had assumed it was the zero car, like most B&M trains have. You assume correctly. Rocky Mountain's trains have a zero / pilot car in the front. The twisted, off-kilter train makes for a fun photo op, they had the same setup with Twisted Colossus last year and Goliath the year before.

cfc Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Now with even more IAAPA 2017! Look who else I just ran into! @TheTimTracker & @TheJennTracker! Always love the fun antics of their vlogs! It’s not an IAAPA trade show without getting a frozen Coca Cola and visiting the Coke Freestyle machine! We love all the new wearable technology coming from Accesso Tech! They’ve come a long way since the original Q-Bots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I was wondering if there was anything there at this year's IAAPA, that surprised you? That you weren't expecting to see? Or discover? P.S. It all looks so amazing, there. Some of the displays are really great-looking. p.p.s. I'll pass on SkySled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dombot Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Cool to see that you guys met Tim! I always loved his vlogs. Coverage is looking awesome so far. And yeah, SkySled is a thought made of nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
