EnTCo Wins Two Awards from IAAPA
SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., Nov. 30 -
Entertainment Technology Corporation (EnTCo), has received two awards, Best
New Product and Best Exhibit, at the International Association of Amusement
Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Convention recently held in Orlando, Florida
from November 15th to November 20th. The IAAPA Convention is the world's
largest convention of its kind for Amusement Parks, Family Entertainment
Centers, Zoos/Aquariums and Museums with roughly 1,200 exhibitors this year.
Further information about the Awards can be found at http://www.iaapaorlando.com/prorlBestExh.htm.
The Best New Product Award was granted to EnTCo for Wild Earth(TM),
the interactive Photo Safari simulator ride. All entries were judged on
the benefit of the product to the prospective buyer, the originality
or uniqueness of the product, and the quality of the product's design
and construction. In Wild Earth(TM), guests discover the thrill and
excitement of an African Photo Safari experience and marvel at the array of
wildlife and rich landscapes of the Serengeti. In Wild Earth(TM), the riders
are in full control, navigating the vehicle through the stunning landscapes
of Africa on a quest for that "perfect picture." Based on the
award-winning game title of the same name by Super X Studios, Wild Earth(TM)
features unparalleled graphics quality, non- violent educational
content, groundbreaking interactivity and a tremendous revenue generator
for operators. Future editions of Wild Earth(TM) will include "Deep
Ocean Edition," "Prehistoric Edition" and "Rain Forest Edition".

The
Best Exhibit Awards are granted for the best booth presentation in
each category based on booth size. Only four such awards were granted this
year, out of roughly 1,200 exhibitors. The booths were judged on
originality, uniqueness, promotion of product, quality of design, and
professional appearance of staff.

into development transfers to the excitement of the guests who 'volunteer' to
