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". Further information on Wild Earth(TM) can be found at

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.

Rob Lloyd, Creative Director of EnTCo, said, "A lot of talented people in
the EnTCo team worked very hard to create the Wild Earth(TM) attraction and
it's gratifying to have that effort recognized by an organization of IAAPA's
stature. We enjoy creating experiences like Wild Earth(TM) and it pays off
when the energy EnTCo puts into development transfers to the excitement of
the guests who 'volunteer' to take a ride on the wild side."
