Listen, the last time the show was held in Orlando, there were more than nine miles of aisles among the booths.....!
Woah! That is "vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big!"
Have you any stories to share about the convention?

IAAPA is the annual trade show for the amusement industry. Ride, food, and game manufacturers set up displays demonstrating and previewing upcoming products. Industry watchers get a chance to mingle with the who's who of the park world. This year's show is in Orlando.

"IAAPA should be in Cobo in Detroit. Or is that too small too?"
I've never been to an IAAPA (and heck, before this month I've never even heard of IAAPA) but from the sound of it, Cobo, Cobo Arena, Cobo parking structure, and the Joe probably couldn't hold it.
Cobo has enough trouble fitting the Auto Show in there as-is.

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but I just thought I'd ask if anyone noticed something on the header at the top of the CP web page. If you look closely next to the Giant Wheel, where the new construction is happening, you can see a hill that is not part of any existing coaster. You may need to zoom in to see it Just thought I'd point it out. I'm going nuts waiting for the announcement.

Don't worry, I have a plan. I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to SPEED around the city, keeping its SPEED over 50, and if its dropped, it would explode. I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down".

Are you sure, because in that picture the Raptor lift is to the right of the Blue Streak. But who knows, I've never really looked very closely at that picture before.

That's Raptor's zero-g roll... Honestly people... that header is just that.. a header... I really doubt you're going to seek out any new information from staring at it... and if you have the time to sit and zoom in on a header... go outside and take a breath of fresh air.. honestly.. it will NOT kill you.
