Industries all have their own trade shows. Ya know, a time to show off all of the new products for businesses in the industry. Restaurants have food shows. Auto dealerships have car shows. Family Entertainment Centers have a few different shows. One in particular is produced by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA). This show showcases anything from the latest roller coasters, to the newest video games, and everything in between.
Back in November, I was lucky enough to attend the 2008 IAPPA trade show. It was pretty incredible. First off, I have never been to a big trade show, so this was a nice first dose. But, there was one spectacle that was the most impressive: The Three Story Carousel that was in the middle of the convention center. I'm not sure who would have $750,000 to $1M to blow, or exactly who would want this three story monster, but man, it sure was cool to see.
The second coolest thing about the IAPPA show is all the new arcade games that are coming out. Yeah, Guitar Hero the arcade game... it's gonna rock. There is this Harley Davidson road racing game that is pretty sweet. And let's not forget the new Rambo game. I doubt you will see that one here at PrimeTime, but who knows about the other two.
Overall, we had a great time at IAPPA, and can't wait for next year's show.
