Best NEW Rides of IAAPA 2023 Expo - Highlights

[@JulieCaptivatedinFl]

Yes! Could not wait for this every year! Nobody covers it like you. Truly grateful!

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

Glad you like it! Also, stay tuned to the comment shout out! 😉

[@Balancedpower420]

I was thinking the same thing when i saw this video in my feed. Nobody covers IAAPA better!

[@tupa12]

@@ThemeParkCrazydamn I was there, could have passed you and not even known it!

[@Balancedpower420]

Best coverage of IAAPA there is. I love how comprehensive, yet concise this video is. Thank you for putting in the work to summarize everything for those of us who couldnt be there. Much appreciated.

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@musickid43]

IAAPA is so big I have to watch 4 different channels to get everything. Some focus on rides and others focus on games. Thank you for this.

[@protector22222]

Wow

[@Trains-101]

I wish i could visit IAAPA, This coverage was by far the best ive seen, from the little details that you pointed out, to the most obvious improvements. These companies are lining the amusement industry to a great success in the near future.

[@daquandavis5498]

Dude I’m so glad u put the disclaimer in the beginning. Very respectable and the crazy thing is you are the only person I’ve seen acknowledge this…

[@OgreJoe]

It didn't need to be said to be honest, no need to get political over everything

[@daquandavis5498]

I disagree. U can say getting political but the investments themselves are being made for specific geopolitical gain (along with tourism) 🤣 just sayin… it’s a “washing” practice really (like sportswashing etc)

[@ahyes589]

​@@daquandavis5498I agree with you, the park is directly funded by the Saudi government and it's definitely for geopolitical gain to have that type of world record for a rollercoaster. As impressive as it is, I would never visit a country with the type policies that Saudi Arabia has. The disclaimer is very important, because it's common for influencers to receive paid endorsements from middle eastern government bodies in exchange for making a video hyping it up.

[@OgreJoe]

@@ahyes589 I think projects like these are good in the long run for improving their policies - they want people coming to their country, and being more lenient for tourists is a good first step in being more lenient for their citizens.

[@syndrome7778]

Happy you got to cover it this year after all!

[@Pineapplesalesman9]

Hands down best IAAPA coverage. Great job!! Also, as a Dragonforce fan, I completely agree.

[@marcussorenson3380]

I gotta say IAAPA this year was something else truly the best, I can't wait to see what will 2025 IAAPA will bring, fantastic coverage of IAAPA this year.

[@JustACooldude74503]

It’s honestly crazy how much the industry has changed over the last year, it’s actually a bit overwhelming but in the end I’m sure it will be amazing. I was going to go to America in 2020 but we all know what happened, so I never got to ride the original dragster, but oh well at least it won’t break down and there hopefully won’t be any more incidents. I already have plans to go to Saudi Arabia for Falcons Flight, it looks nuts! And thank you for the super entertaining and informative video:)

[@ryanlioce4933]

5:51 This reminds me of the concept Universal Studios had for a potential Zelda attraction, transitioning from a boat ride to a flying dark ride.

[@coastersaga]

I'm building one now in Planet Coaster, called Alpine Flyers

[@amemeers88]

I actually really want that fog blaster! It'd be the best prop ever for a halloween costume.

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

Agreed, though it's admittedly pretty heavy, so I'd recommend working on strengthening your biceps lol.

[@keithstransitexperiences9749]

Taking it in a car would help.

[@huntzzio]

16:59 In case you didn’t know, I checked their website and what we know as a Poler Coaster is featured on there too. There’s a chance it could be purchased! They market it as being between the heights of 200 and 1000 feet, so maybe we could see a smaller version go to some park we’ve never heard of. Who knows? It’s unlikely but the model exists on their site.

[@Casual_Memeroriginal]

I have been waiting for a new IAAPA video, and its crazy!!! Love this video!!

[@coyote_bravo2723]

Chance rides has been knocking it out of the park with the train designs for Mattel adventure park. I bet bone shaker and twin mill racer are going to be 2024’s sleeper hits.

[@daniella5450]

my dad works for Zamperla and goes to IAAPA every year. he and his coworkers work incredibly hard to present the company’s new products and technologies to the industry. thanks for spotlighting the company and making their hard work worth it!

[@executiveminer8174]

If it's anything else like Dubai, I don't put much faith into seeing it last more than 5 years.

[@mattyorshin]

It's amazing how they can still come up with these awesome new rides

[@rockintylerj9349]

Being a car enthusiast, coaster enthusiast, and from Arizona, I am screaming rn!

[@christianortiz-v1l]

I was there on the 3rd day & I saw you there, I was too busy to say hi but it was nice to see you working on this amazing video!

[@Manda_Kat]

After riding the Loch Ness revamp... It's great. Go ride it. I love that they kept the classic layout. No headbanging. No pain. And a few new surprises too

[@KirbyKrazy2022]

I've gotta love these new attractions, they're gonna be AWESOME y'know!

[@adamkim4484]

Yes i alway look forward to these videos every year

[@thethemeparkcompany]

Thank you so much mate 🫶 great collaboration ❤

[@ashcashgamer5770]

If I could, I would love to fly to Orlando and visit a IAAPA expo. Of course, November is a planning month for my parents since we plan out and save money for upcoming Christmas vacations. Actually, my dad confirmed we're going to Orlando and stay at a resort near Walt Disney World and we're going to visit one of the 4 parks there next year! :)

[@StamfordBridge]

Which park?

[@assemblyrequired7342]

Unless you're a professional in the field/VIP, unfortunately, you'd be turned away. Even though there would likely be an interest in the public to try all of the functioning flat rides, my guess is that they want to keep the crowds low, and the prototype machines pristine. It'd still be nice if they held public events too.

[@WaveManMike]

It would be awesome to see an RMC without the wooden coaster looking cars. If it had no walls on the sides and individual seats I think it’d be pretty cool.

[@brendan123]

Good job with the disclaimer--smart move

[@Th3_PizzaGamer]

Put nearly all the rides on my bucket list

[@StamfordBridge]

I miss seeing those Theme Park Crazy microphones, but it’s great to have this video!

[@tieknarrow3676]

Yes! This video finally came out. Love this channel

[@jqyyyy737]

I couldn’t wait to see the new trains for TT2. When i saw them, These looked like the type of trains that don’t staple you into your seat. I have to give it a shot when it opens!

[@SmolAliens]

I really need to go to IAAPA again. I went years ago when I worked in the industry, thankfully for free…I understand the need to limit the number of general public attending but dang, it was so much fun lol.

[@LittlePotatoRoll]

I absolutely love that Intamin is outshining every other manufacturer in every way, especially Zamperla

[@ReyBeltane]

Loved the mention of Dragon Force! Your thorough coverage of rides innovations and mechanics is only surpassed by the moments you get your personality in there with one liners like that.

[@BloodGamingBrothers]

as a gay coaster enthusiast I really appreciate the effort you've put into distancing yourself from the Saudi regime. It would be really easy for your to ignore their human rights abuses like a lot of Western media does. Your work is very much appreciated 😊

[@mynameiskrysta]

That water fight looks SOO FUNNN

[@SunnylandProds]

Nice to see you as always, Peter!!

[@QueenOfPessimism]

I’m so glad u got to go omg I remember when it didn’t seem like you would make it so congratulations! Hope u had fun :)

[@jacksonscott9857]

Love the disclaimer, I really hope no one helps to fund the Saudi government

[@jiru331]

wait till you hear about all the atrocities usa has been committing

[@JackOzmen]

What you smoking buddy? What help are the Saudi going to need to fund absolutely anything?! 😂😂 your off your Tits.. they can literally do anything involved with financials

[@Sebastian-kx4nu]

Well the Kingdom already has enough funds for these projects, I bet.

[@SmolAliens]

This is why I will never visit their parks, or those in the UAE. Not to mention it’s fairly dangerous to go to either country as a woman anyway.

[@Sebastian-kx4nu]

@@SmolAliensFYI, the latter countries you mentioned along with the Middle East are slowly improving on their laws and dealing with other issues on women’s rights and equality, and they’re still doing it now. But I understand your opinion, so please don’t expect anything, but they’re doing it. Thank you

[@bread_dawg]

Amazing video! While I'd probably never get to ride these new rides going to Saudi, I LOVE seeing the new concepts and innovations.

[@POOPSmith-i1u]

I need to patent a small bus with tank treads so when Falcon's Flight breaks down a mile from loading the technicians can go collect the riders. 😂 "Remain seated please. Park employees will be here to assist you in...45 minutes.". 😅😅😅

[@TylerPCoyne]

0:32 Iron Maiden Fans Assemble!!! Also, it’s the Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac Shakoor!

[@abigailbarber9806]

I love how they’re preserving Loch Ness. Great work! 👏

[@S_NNYDZ]

I didn’t think falcons flight was actually gonna be real

[@unwoundsteak17]

18:40 they don't really have any official name on that car, but I guess it could be called a Twin-supercharged W16 (aka 2 supercharged V8s mounted side by side) whether it's considered dual V8s or a W16 depends on whether or not they share a block, which they don't appear to, so it's actually just dual supercharged V8s

[@JacobThies-gw2il]

I love that premier rides is going for the refurbishment of the Arrow coaster. I hope they'll slowly move around parks and keep them alive and better rides overall. 🤞

[@xavierhardy1857]

Thanks for the disclaimer for Qiddya. I have not seen other channels do that

[@whylifeis4]

Best IAAPA coverage!! i always feel good watching these videos! Keep up the good work!

[@anadraham2995]

This was FANTASTIC my brotha‼️‼️‼️

[@jonny-b4954]

8:45 Wait? GCI Infinity trains are steel wheels on steel track? That's wild.

[@kingadam69]

23:38 AI TPC sounds pretty cool, although it doesn’t sound as exciting. Would be pretty cool if you used it as an April Fools joke.

[@KonaSatori]

Yayayayaya! Loch Ness Monster is finally getting updated! Practically an eye sore knowing that if you ride it you'll be stuck with a headache all day!

[@RoryKrollage]

11:42 they killed puck for this masterpiece

[@boredbuilder8739]

The polar coaster is just standard furnishing at IAAPA at this point. It's like that weird statue your grandpa got on safari 40 years ago, looming in the corner of the family room.

[@ThrillCoasters305]

Wasn’t able to make it this year, always a pleasure watching your coverage!

[@davidmcaninch4714]

IAAPA is manufacturers, demonstrators, content creators only. If you’re not any of that, don’t bother buying a ticket. It’s like NAMM: the National Association of Music Merchants, where if you’re not a manufacturer, demonstrator, or content creator, or musician, don’t bother buying a ticket.

[@LPGamerOo]

lmao that face at 05:51

[@dreamincolor14]

OMG SO EXCITED FOR THE AXIS!!!!!!

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

Great video, man enjoyed it 👍

[@racheljackson4428]

i bet the Spongebob Ride at Las Vegas will be just as Immersive than in Disney and Universal Theme Parks.

[@Mr_Spliffy]

Woah thats some clever stuff

[@PaulAdler11]

This video ruled

[@CesarDelgado-fu2nd]

Your videos are awesome 😊

[@jatzbethstappen9814]

An anagram for "Condiment Sow" is "Demonic Wants" so best stay clear of the mustard next year!

[@Nlangkirby135]

I live near Hersheypark and I fondly remember riding Comet... so my favorite of this top 21 is Comet's new trains. Keep up the great work!

[@Parborway]

It's sad to see that the new trains do not respect tradition in their restraints.

[@dreamincolor14]

The video of the existing zipline one was like, um, I don't think I want to be flailed around like that

[@dreamincolor14]

Knott's Berry Farm should redo their observation tower with the concept one

[@CatsAreKindaCool]

Thanks 🙏

[@LaLaLyssa100]

The condiment sow comment was A++

[@kingchuckfinley]

I thought that straw boat was fake at first! That’s so awesome!

[@Ramseys-z3h]

I REALLY want to see the New for 2024 so badly!!!!!!!!

[@oscardrip]

We need a major rollercoaster in Indianapolis IN 😍

[@laughythaklown7661]

Personally, i would've went for a spaghetti bowl model for the hot wheels track....still super lookin forward to these tho

[@vidfreak727]

Nice!

[@hayleywaalen2612]

The Dragon in Dragon Racer looks fantastic!

[@zacdavid184]

Comet's new trains look beautiful, but what a bummer that it's losing its buzz bars.

[@LegendaryCollektor]

10:15 "Unique" - nah that's the OG wildcat at hersheypark font whatchu mean 12:30 "Roller Soaker" - As a Hershey Local that is a name I haven't heard in a LONG time. I also see this being a liability with them getting that close to non-riders. I can imagine this turning into a problem. 13:48 - Daaaaang that's cleeean 15:25 Omg I am soo happy!!! I'm so happy to see this!!! I got to ride the OG version before they renovate it for next year. I'm so happy!!! Gotta go to vegas now 18:30 Arent these the beast coasters that have like insane airtime and elements that we have had none of in the US? No I was wrong Kentucky Kingdom has it. 20:40 HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE!!!!!! 26:00 Maaaaaaan now I need to figure out how to visit this park

[@diecastcountdown9651]

The Twin Mill roller coaster looks amazing it like your actually in a fantasy car that Mattel made. Bone Shaker is also cool.

[@Rudeboxx88]

Cool vid

[@hayleywaalen2612]

Can't wait for the new Mattel Park.

[@Jimmietruck28]

*Finally here*

[@Leftpeg8379]

I just hope Falcons Flight is gonna be reliable, Batman at Parque Warner likes to break down due to overheating LSM's, and Falcons Flight is in the middle of a scorching desert going three times the speed!!

[@alexkoehler2001]

I'd love to go to iaapa one day, is it expensive?

[@THE2NDCARLTONBOY]

Saudi arabia is always a futuristic country with falcons flight

[@joyoustye2326]

Twin Mill is not the first hot wheels, although it is a very early design, along with being the first in-house design

[@neville1311]

B&M new Penguin Trek car really is giving Mack Rides

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

I got the same impression from the train. I'm curious to see the specific differences between B&M and Mack's designs.

[@askjeevescosby2928]

25:05 "THIS IS NINTENDO!!!! OPEN THE GD DAMN DOOR!!!!"

[@diveloopthrills7613]

All of these attractions from these manufacturers look amazing. I still can’t believe falcons flight is a thing. That just shocks me.

[@AG7-MTM]

I was hoping to see DOF in the video, or Mondial's Avalanche model (part of me is so lucky it was built at my home park, Canada's Wonderland)

[@belacickekl7579]

Drinking game; take a shot every time he uses the word "Technical" for his #1 haha

[@Ramseys-z3h]

PLEASE!!!!! I want to see 2024 coaster NOW!!!!!!!!!🥺🥹

[@brunosztuba3556]

Y'all coasters be insane fr these days, and i still am unable to ride most of them😢.

[@jiru331]

i was surprised to see a 🇹🇷 company on the list, I'm pleased

[@micoasters]

0:36 biggie biggie cant you see, sometimes your statues hypnotize me

[@OriPrior66]

Doesn't Moreys Piers in NJ already that has that same design already where you can choose your waterslide? Is this the same designer?

[@oa4895]

If you hadn't said anything, I honestly wouldn't have noticed the AI voice! Great coverage as always!

[@AlessandroCecconi]

I'm still waiting and hoping for the Sally FNAF dark ride to become a real thing 😭

[@colemanlayne1992]

Wonder which coaster Dollywood purchased? The president said in an interview a few days ago they purchased one during 2023 IAAPA and it will be opening in 2026!

[@liamcollinson5695]

I like that fire in the hole was refreshed i like when older rides get a second life so future generations can enjoy them. Sponge bob for vegas was a bit of a wild card for me is Vegas targeting familys again

[@bretsutton1295]

The ride I'm going to say is not in the video but it's new for next year. It's Bayern curve at knoebels. I can't wait to go 72mph in a circle getting faster each lap around.
