My favorites growing up were the Troika (triple play at Marriott's Great America) and the Swing-a-Round (Big Top at Marriott's Great America) But as far as the Enterprise goes, I think the Schwarzkopf model is much better than the Huss model!

IAAPA Re-Cap: S & S Power

Always innovative and cutting edge is S&S Power. I am really intrigued with some of their new concepts. I wonder if they will ever be able to scale down the 4D concept so more parks could afford them. Get to work on that Stan!

Has the Huss Delirium been built before? That looks wicked sweet!

[bspellx5Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Donkey.]

Huss is one of my personal favorites! Growing up, it just seemed coincidental that most of my favorite flats were Huss rides, my all-time favorite being Rainbow.

I wouldn't get too excited about Delirium. It's geared as a family ride, and I personally think it too elaborate mechanically for a family flat to ever be sold.

I'm right there with you, Rainbow is my favorite flat of all time. It's a shame theres barely any left.

IAAPA Re-Cap: Miler Industries

This is one of my most favorites! Fred Miler, owner of Miler Coasters has been a good friend of mine for years. As a matter of fact I purchased one of his first new generation Kiddie Coasters and installed it myself at the Upland Family Fun Center.

When my family sold our FEC's to Boomers! they decided to take it out...why? I never figured that out. They even said I could have it for free if I took it away. When I went to take it, it was gone, sold for scrap. Yes I am still a little bitter about it. Anyways thanks for letting me vent!

RIP Flying Daredevil...did anyone get the credit???

[cycampsThe only thing better than a naked woman is a naked donkey!]

I didn't know Miler made anything that big!!!

IAAPA Re-Cap: Maurer Sohne

Here is a catalog from a company that will be making a big splash in the Florida area next year. Maurer Sohne has done some smaller coasters like wild mice & spinners here in the states but Universals Rockit will be a huge step for them.

I like there rides so I say bring it on...

IAAPA Re-Cap: INTAMIN, INTAMIN & INTAMIN!

Lets get this Thanksgiving party started with some INTAMIN goodness. By far this was the best thing I picked up at the IAAPA convention, the Intamin ride catolog and as a BONUS the 40 year history of INTAMIN.

That is what this thread is all about, history. So if you have ever wondered how Intamin got started, what the relationship with Schwarzkopf was or where they are heading in the future...you will want to read every word of this, it is pure goodness!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, aren't we all thankful for INTAMIN?!?!?
