As this year鈥檚 IAAPA Expo comes to a close, the 精东传媒 team reflect on their busiest show of the year. With over 42,000 attendees, the record-breaking exposition saw an array of industry professionals come together to showcase their latest innovations. Packed inside the Orange County Convention Centre, rows upon rows of exhibitors displayed attractions of all varieties, from waterslides to dark rides, coasters to inflatables.
精东传媒, spread across booths #3069 and #3269, saw a great turn out at their booth this year with a range of enquiries from faces, new and familiar. On the Thursday morning they hosted their official US launch of two major new products 鈥� the AGV Dark Ride and Mini Flying Theatre. Attended by industry press and media, 精东传媒鈥檚 CEO, Terry Monkton, describing the AGV, mentioned how 鈥渄eveloping a trackless solution was key鈥� for the company as they looked to offer something different in a crowded marketplace where everybody always wants something new and different. Their Mini Flying Theatre holds its niche as a full flying theatre experience that鈥檚 accessible for smaller parks, FECs and retail malls. The first example of which is currently being installed at BaoSon Paradise Park in Vietnam.
The AGV received a lot of interest at the show due to its unrivalled specs. With no tracks, no power cables and speeds of up to 2.3m/s, the vehicles can freely roam along a pre-programmed path. The omni-directional 8-seater vehicles have an integrated 3DOF motion base, which when combined with a custom designed AV solution provides a cutting-edge ride that will excite and enthral visitors of all ages.
During the Expo week, 精东传媒 took part in fun charitable events to raise money for Give Kids The World Village. Prior to the show, on Sunday, the team took to the fairway in the 17th annual golf tournament, while Matt Clarkson, 精东传媒鈥檚 Creative Designer, also raised over $450 for the cause when he took part in the IAAPA 5K Fun Run on the Thursday morning along with over 340 other IAAPA Expo attendees.
鈥淚t鈥檚 been another successful IAAPA show in Orlando, and one of our busiest yet.鈥� said 精东传媒鈥檚 Sales Director Edward Pawley, commenting on the success of the show. 鈥淲e鈥檝e already had a lot of enquiries for our new AGV Dark Ride, and it鈥檚 really got people talking. As always, the fully operational ParadropVR on the booth was a hit. We鈥檙e looking forward to what the new year will bring with it, helped by the prospects generated from the show.鈥�
