IAAPA Expo 2017

[Rob]

It's that time of year again, the IAAPA Attractions Expo event begins today with the trade show floor opening tomorrow until Friday.

From taking a look at the press schedule it would appear that we are going to see some train reveals tomorrow including Time Traveller at SDC and Twisted Cyclone at SFOG.

There are usually some other nice surprises and the odd new concept announced at the event (although less so in recent years in my opinion). Feel free to fill this thread with all of it!

Reveals are underway!


Awesome lead car for Oscar’s Wacky Taxi and the Infinity Falls boat looks very nice indeed.

I wonder what the green thingies are on that rapids boat? Theming, or some kind of safety doodad? Maybe a self-inflating floatation device incase the boat tips over?

 

[Rob]

Okay, Mack win!

B&M always bring something from one of their best existing rides to display at IAAPA, and look what rolled up this year

 

[Bert2theSpark]

Of course only you would post that Mako...

New Skywarp Model Eclipyse!

 

[CSLKenny]

Okay, Mack win!

Still think this coaster would be better as standard Mega Coaster rather than a spinner. But that has to be one of the best themed coaster cars ever.

Here's a better picture of the new Skywarp!

Some very nice reveals. Wouldn't mind Towers investing in some of those rapid boats if they did a larger version of them actually

Yay! Something I've ridden finally appears at IAAPA! With regards to the other stands, I really like the Time Traveler car, but Oscar's Wacky Taxi's car looks much better than I was expecting.

Also, Twisted Cyclone's zero car was revealed. But I can't currently upload a picture.

EDIT: On a side note, does GCI have a stand? If so, have they got any info on SW8? Unlikely I know, but I had to ask.

Who said family rides can't have inversions!

That's a nice looking roller coaster

I can see one of those Skywarp things at Mingoland...

Someone posted a picture of some other stands at IAAPA, including the GCI stand, and alas... nothing on SW8. (Not that I expected anything, though.)

If people want an overall update of IAAPA then there's a great video from The Tim Tracker on YouTube when they visited the other day:
