Thumbs up Interactive Rides + Lagoon Park Photos TR.

Part of my trip out to Utah for the ACE Preservation Conference also included a factory tour of Interactive Rides. http://www.interactiverides.com/ Makers of the Frequent Faller ride and several other rides including the Xscream on top of the Stratosphere Tower. This tour was mainly of the new facilities that IR is moving into. So we had a lengthy talk with people from IR about there rides and the company. We were shown several videos of there rides and the installation of Xscream on top of the Strat Tower. Alot of the discussion was about there current rides and about the company. They also do alot of work in the feild of Design and Analysis witch is an off shoot company of IR. They did have a Frequent Faller car on hand to show to us and thats about it for my visit to IR.
You can see photos of the factory at http://www.johnnyupsidedown.com/eventSIL1.html

Also part of the ACE Presevation Confrenece was a couple of days at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah. Basically the usual event details with private ride time over several days. Along with auctions and guest speakers to raise money for the Preservation Fund. I have some photos of the rides at the park and they can be seen at http://www.johnnyupsidedown.com/eventSIL2.html

That sounds cool. It's too bad they don't have ride that you can try out, like S&S does at their factory. I like the Lagoon Amusement Park too, it has an odd collection of coasters and other rides, many kinds that you don't see very often.
