Let me know what seemed confusing about it. If it's something I can fix, I'll certainly try!

Also, just as a reminder - The registration deadline is approaching soon! You've got a little over a week left to get those registrations dropped in the mail and postmarked! Tuesday, 1/6/15 is the last day to postmark and Saturday, 1/10/15 is the last day to register online.

As far as the presentations go, there will be presentations from Dollywood, Alabama Splash Adventure, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Wild Adventures, Holiday World, Kings Dominion, Carowinds, Six Flags Over Georgia and Irven Ondrey Engineering.

As it was mentioned, they do the control panels for lots of coasters and flat rides. I hadn't considered them before but they mentioned something about doing a presentation at an ACE Ohio event that had some audience participation so I thought it might be a decent space filler. We will see...

Isn't there some bad blood between the Koch family? Will it be weird to have Holiday World and Alabama Splash Adventure both in the same place? I do hope The General comes! I just loved her.

I'm excited to hear from some parks I've not been to. I'm especially excited (and quite surprised) that Six Flags Fiesta TX is coming. I'm trying to talk my husband into extending our family vacation this summer. We're already planning on going to the Dallas area to visit family, so I want to add a detour to San Antonio for the new coaster. :)

Thanks for inviting them. As a maker of Automated Guided Vehicles we use a lot of the same technology and products they use. We even helped a certain rodent company in Japan create one of their attractions. You can look in my siggy to see where I work. So, to me anyways, I will truly enjoy what they bring to the table.
For those of you who say you want to know everything about coasters, well here is a great chance for you to learn something.

Most of the parks outside of our region will just send along a presentation for me to show and they won't actually be in attendance. From the Koch family standpoint, if HW sent someone, it would only be Paula and she is good with everyone as far as I know. There is someone from ASA who has verbally said they would be there, but that could change.

Most of the time (aside from the host park and Dollywood) I'm usually the one that puts on all the presentations.

Awesome man! Glad to hear someone will be paying attention to everything they say. :-)
