IAAPA 2022

[Rick]

Zamperla revealed their Lightning train, the press release hasn't been shared on their own site, but Coasterbuzz have it and a video on their site. Curiously, they have (or are claiming to) have a very different approach to how they have built the train.

@Danny has posted the B&M reveal of the Surf Coaster train in the SeaWorld Orlando thread.

@Rob and @Danny have posted the train reveal for Dollywood's new family coaster, as well as the POV in the Dollywood thread. There was a lot of negativity about this ride when announced, that seems to have abated a bit with those announcements.

Gravity Group have also shown off their new engineered track, again credit to Jeff at Coasterbuzz.

Train reveals also for the Cedar Point spinner and San Diego jet ski thing, again at Coasterbuzz.

Dollywood's new coaster trains do not look very forgiving for anyone with big thighs.

You could say that Zamperla Lightning train looks Ready To Go.

If it's a lot lighter, it does make you wonder how that could potentially help with such an application ...

There's a megathread on r/Rollercoasters which can be found here

Can anyone think of anything more terrifying than the might of Golden Horse and Wisdom Rides coming together to build a coaster?

The condiment cow, everyone:

The condiment cow, everyone:

Love the randomness of the demo unit having Ranch, Ketchup, Chocolate Syrup, Mustard.
As someone who has in the past dipped fries into chocolate thinking it was BBQ, that layout feels like an accident waiting to happen.

Putting the wrong sauce on your food from the Condiment Cow? Pull the udder one!

How about a hilarious failure of a world record attempt at IAAPA?
