The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo in Orlando, Florida last week was wonderful!
This showcase brings so many different vendors under one roof that it makes your head spin. Special effects, inflatables, hot dog carts, rides, animatronics, scenery, vending, ticketing, maintainance, popcorn machines, software, 3-D theaters and even dinner in the sky.
The sights, sounds and smells were amazing!
One of my favorite displays was from Scarefactory. This animatronic headless horseman reared up on it’s hind legs while the horseman swung his sword…very cool. 
Here it is: Disney’s 2008 Dream Catalog. The new, extended Year of a Million Dreams includes “dreams money can’t buy.” These special events will be given away to lucky recipients visiting Disney Parks.
How about attending the premier of High School Musical 3 or being the guest of honor at the largest character breakfast…ever? Sounds fantastic.
I’ll be in Orlando, Florida soon for the International Food and Wine Festival but now I need to read my catalog and Dream…
Three cheers for Josh Hallett and his friends. Blogorlando was spectacular! Well, as spectacular as an “unconference” on blogging should be.
We gathered at Rollins College in Orlando, Florida to learn, share and participate with some of the sharpest minds available. Many don’t see the opportunity but every tourism related business would benefit from joining the conversation here.
Social media, networking and web presence were discussed and debated throughout the day. One highlight was Shel Israel, author of Naked Conversations who kicked off the events and added great insight. He was generous with his time and his knowledge. So were all of the speakers there, really. Great group of people.
Theme Park Insider brings us the update from Orlando, Florida about the auction for Cypress Gardens and Wild Adventures Theme Parks I posted about earlier. I wish them well.
Clear your schedule, pack a cooler and strap yourself in on October 19th at 9pm when the Travel Channel presents Most Haunted Live at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, just south of San Francisco.
A Seven (yes, I said seven) Hour marathon of paranormal investigation and things that go bump in the night. I’m exhausted already. How will they maintain such an event before the channel changes? I do not know. Guess we’ll have to watch and see…er…wait a minute. No doubt, it’s gonna be a hootenanny.
Our SEAL Tour crew at Old Town Trolley in San Diego, California is all a twitter about the Red Bull Air Races this past weekend. Here is a great Youtube video from Between Random Planets showing an earlier practice takeoff from the USS Midway which is now a tourist attraction in San Diego.
The interesting thing for me is how events are becoming more like attractions in some places. The draw is often excellent and folks follow these types of events like concerts by their favorite band. It’s an interesting, reborn model for tourism.
