IAAPA Euro Attractions Show 2012 Report

[STC]

I remember reading last years report, am I right in thinking B&M don`t take part in the event?

Presumably because every single park operator knows who B&M are, and the models they do. Unlike all the others, they only bring out a new model every few years, so it's a bit of a major event that everyone hears about.

And their order books are probably full.

Yeah I thought that would be the reason why, they don`t really need to showcase anything I guess.

These interviews are actually really good! Rather interesting too.

The more I watch these, the more I think you look like someone on the german exchange I did at Easter.

Thank you very much! - Haha, well it can't be me :lol:

Excellent report here, I really enjoyed the interviews, particularly with GCI.
The modals look awesome, especially the ProSlide modals.

I really appreciate you post!

Awwww, how lovely was that woman from Jora Vision? It was nice that she was able to go into so much detail about the rides and coasters going into the park. Sure, as enthusiasts we may not be overly excited about a bunch of stock model coasters, but she's totally right; why spend more money than you have to when the vast majority of the guests won't have ridden those rides before?

Me with my badge.

Well apparently I have a thing for cute guys wearing IAAPA lanyards...

Hahaha, I'm glad you like the picture

Moved to General Discussions because I think it deserves to discussed/more noticed.

I've not watched the videos yet (something to do this evening, hopefully they are in English ), but looking at the photos, it appears that most of the stands haven't changed since London 2011!

Thank you for your kind words Ian, it means a lot.

You probably have seen this already, but I'm gonna post it here as well just for the record.

There is one or two more interviews on the way.

Here is another great experience from our days at EAS 2012.

This is actually a really funny ride! - You can control the movements yourself, including forward, backwards and gondola breaks.

That looks like the most fun ride ever. I absolutely ADORE rides that you can control some aspect of.
