Over at the S&S Construction booth, expo visitors could see the new 4D Free Flyer train that will run on Six Flags Fiesta Texas' new Batman: The Ride, debuting in 2015.
In the Bolliger & Mabillard booth, this year's centerpiece is the train from Holiday World's Thunderbird, which will be the first launched wing coaster in the United States when it opens next year.
Holiday World's Lori Koch, left, and Lauren (Koch) Crosby took a turn in the new seats.
It's not just roller coasters getting attention at IAAPA. We looked earlier today at Six Flags' new Justice League ride. And this afternoon, Triotech, the company developing Knott's Berry Farm's new Voyage to the Iron Reef, used the occasion to release new images from the upcoming 3D shooter ride.
Here's an animation clip, courtesy Triotech:

I'm also a pretty serious fan of Bolliger & Mabillard and those winged coaster seats for Thunderbrid look phenomenal. Ride harnesses have really come along way. When you read the enthusiast blogs, one thing people complain about consistently is getting banged up by coaster restraints, especially stuff around the head. And coaster injuries from bad seats and restraints is something that gets coasters taken down! It's fantastic that they've been able to engineer these seats with such an open design.
