So a round of up of Day 1 from what I've just collected from the TPR updates!

- Theme Park Review seems to have supplied a lot of POV's and photos (with photos to prove this...)

- Premier Ride showcasing a Invert coaster and a 'Drift' coaster, similar to the E-Motion coaster by Mack?

- Mack have made a small spin ride based on the Blue Fire seats.

- Gravity Group debuts its Timberliner trains!

- Zamperla shows off ride Beach Shack, which is similar to King Kong but without Kong

- B&M are pushing their Flying coasters at the show

- The Aqua Loop water slide is opening at many locations across the world.

- Maurer Sohne showcases plans for a 4 across X-Car

- Over Georgia's Deja Vu is heading for Brazil.

- The people who made the Starflyer have made another crazy ride on a chain called The Rocket.

- Moser made a deathtrap of a ride!

I am going to try to go next year. And since i'm a photo whore, i'll probably wind up taking thousands of pics to show

I'm still sucking in all the info from this year

- Mack have made a small spin ride based on the Blue Fire seats.

I presumed that was just to demonstrate to delegates how the restraints felt when handling inversions. Might be wrong though...

Apparently, my neighbor is there working a booth for my dad's company. And I wasn't invited!! :x :wink:

- Maurer Sohne showcases plans for a 4 across X-Car

From what Dave has listed, these seem the most interesting and intriguing to me.

Anything going to blow our minds this year?

4-across X Car... Hmm, just more people to be killed by those horrible restraints!

Oh **** my bad

This thing looks crazy.

Also a waterslide with multiple space bowls and cone things in one slide? Awesome

Photos from the TPR link at the top of the page.

 

[Hixee]

^That waterslide does look awesome! I think it's actually two separate slides, one with two cone things and the other with two bowls.

The only thing I can see that could be a problem with this is the amount of time you'd have to wait between boats. I can't imagine they'd release more than one on the slide at once which would make queuing hell.

The 4 wide MS X-car isn't new it was showcased on the 2009 EAS last month...

That 'Rocket' ride does look awesome! Wow, obviously for a small park though.

This looks awesome as well, my number one from this exhibition. I'm talking about the drop tower that makes you face down, very cool!

In reference to the Star Flyer at the bottom of the page, I've always wanted to ride one of those since I first heard about them, they look epic!

On some of their images they have some interesting comments, like Fuji-Q will get a large Gerstlauer coaster in 2011...
Hmm, wonder if this will be another monster with tiny capacity, and as all the other rides there will it break any records??
