jray21 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Still more amazing things from IAAPA 2018! WhiteWater has some amazing water slide and theme parks models on display! The Fusion slide looks great! Their models look amazing! I love all the lights! There is never a shortage of amazing looking water slide models at the ProSlideTechnology Inc. booth! They look great! I want one! Both of ProSlide Technology Inc's HydroMAGNETIC slides from Holiday World are on display! These are two of the best water slides in the world! We can't wait for more of these to show up at different parks! This video wall at Dynamic Attractions is one of the coolest displays we’ve seen at IAAPA so far! PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!!! So apparently Harley Quinn and Iron Man are dating? Is that okay? Is DC Comics and Marvel cool with this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Those seats and restraints kind of remind me of Dodonpa 1.0's a bit. Interesting to see them on a multi-looping coaster given Dodonpa had to get OTSRs for its new loop... Also, that Whitewater Fusion incline bowl/loop looks awesome.

Canobie Coaster Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm a die-hard Pats fan, but even I have to admit those Steelers themed trains look amazing. Though I'm most excited for the lap bar only trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 We're still not finished with our 2018 IAAPA coverage! We love stopping by Daniels Wood Land booth to check out all the awesome monsters and fun shooting gallery games these guys have! They really do a great job! I always love a good shooting gallery Lots of fun attractions on display at Polin Waterparks this year! Everything from water slides, aquariums, and log flume ride vehicles! The Bubble Arena looks amazing! That's a high tech looking water ride vehicle! Shark! Moser has a mini drop tower as well as a “Moser Land” park map on display! Would you go to Moser Land? It looks like it would be a great park! These Atari Pong tables are awesome! This isn’t a “video game” this is a REAL game! It’s all physical! Love it! I hope we start seeing these soon!

thrillseeker4552 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 YAY for lap bars on Steel Curtain! I was really crossing my fingers that it doesn't have those Free Spin/GaleForce restraints. Also LOVE the Kentucky Flyer train and new train design from GCI! Gosh I love IAAPA. Thanks for the coverage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Even more amazing updates from IAAPA 2018!!! Namco has the ultimate “man cave” arcade machine! Classic Namco video games with a beer fridge built in! Amazing! “I’d like to buy an I... and then another I...” Everyone loves Wheel of Fortune! The new Aquaman figure for Madame Tussauds Orlando is on display at IAAPA and it looks fantastic! Raw Thrills was showing off their immersive Halo arcade experience. Even Master Chief was on hand to endorse the new game! Jack was proud of his Fun Spot America Mine Blower photo on display at The Gravity Group booth! Features some of our TPR members as well! Weeeee! Yay for TPR members! The Eleventh Hour is an amusement design & production recruitment group. If you want to get a job in the theme park industry, get in touch with them! Robb and Jack and their new jobs! Plenty of “haunt” event props, animatronics, and set design displayed at IAAPA! If you need designers for your next haunted house, there are plenty to chat with at IAAPA. This is why I don't camp. Only 352 more days until Halloween!

jray21 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Yes, there's still more from IAAPA 2018!!! [twitter] [/twitter] It wouldn’t be an IAAPA without Bob’s Space Racers and playing a round of Whac-A-Mole! After all of these years, this is still a great game! Bob’s Space Racers has all kinds of crazy carnival games in all sorts of different themes! Place your hand and try to win a prize! The heavier the fish, the larger your prize! If you to buy an old school “Scrambler” or “Ferris Wheel” you still can here at IAAPA! The official unveiling of Kentucky Kingdom’s Kentucky Flyer coaster train isn’t until tomorrow, but we got a sneak peek at it today IAAPA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
