In one of the coolest announcements of the day, Zamperla announced they were donating this ride to the amazing Give Kids The World village and that all future rides will be wheelchair accessible.
Picture
The ride vehicles for the new Justice League dark rides coming to Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags St Louis next year. We aren't huge fans of "cloning" rides, but this looks like it's going to be awesome, and we'd love to see this rolled out at more parks in 2016.
Some video of the AA's in action. Sally Corp has really outdone themselves. 
Picture
Sticking with Six Flags, the new trains for Batman: The Ride from S&S coming to Six Flags Fiesta Texas were unveiled today. These look nice and comfy.
Picture
One of the most anticipated announcements of the day was for the Twisted Colossus trains. And they didn't disappoint.
Picture
Love how open these trains are.
Picture
For all you Coaster Porn enthusiasts
Picture
This was certainly the popular place to be
Picture
Triotech released a few more details for Iron Reef at Knott's Berry Farm. We have to be completely honest, nothing on this project has blown us away yet, and it sounds like there will be no AA's or actual set pieces. Still, it's Knott's and we are willing to wait and see for ourselves next year.

Hi, I'm Steve and I like Rollercoasters. Here I am on one. =)

Coming in 2015, the Park Journey haunted house. Anybody have a big truck and a big pocketbook we can borrow? Well, we'll borrow the truck at least. =)
Picture
Wonder if they used this at Six Flags New Orleans when they were filming Jurassic World?
Picture
One of the more pleasant surprises of the day was The Gravity Group showing off the new trains for SwitchBack.
Picture
These are simply beautiful
Picture
Don't think that's what the track is gonna look like. =)
Some POV and off-ride footage of Switchback coming to ZDT's Amusement Park in TX
We aren't sure what else will be announced today, the Expo closes in about 45 minutes (as of the updating of this article) but we'll have MUCH more tomorrow. 

Day One - Monday

Picture
Before we even left, site contributor RD made sure we wouldn't miss a thing at the Expo
The Expo doesn't actually begin until Tuesday but that doesn't mean the IAAPA fun doesn't start Monday night with a great IAAPA Connect at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. It's basically a great night to start off the festivities where the vendors can get together and mingle. 
Picture
The day before the madness at the Exhibit Hall. Not a whole lot of media to be found.

Good update.

However the model is Gerstlauer's rather than Macks. It's a model of the Smiler.

Love the look of the Gravity Group trains. The RMC one's are a bit garish but pretty open.

Thanks DCL, it's hard to keep track of everything when you are getting info from 2500 miles away. =)
