Triotech IAAPA 2019 press conference

Today Triotech held their press conference for Knott's Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair at IAAPA 2019.There wasn't much new information we didn't already know, at least not presented by Triotech. 

Ernest Yale mentioned pouring over archives of Bear-y Tales production work to capture the aesthetic and be respectful to the original attraction. He also mentioned that in addition to the animation and gaming, they'd be producing the scenic theming (oh god NO).

Ken Park on the other hand mentioned the following: they consulted with Rolly Crump and his son to makes sure the new attraction is authentic to his artistic intent (this is cool but wish he would've taken on a more active role), that they're focusing on story even though there will be shooting (to me, story based attractions work better off screen where there are details surrounding you just waiting to be discovered, as opposed to the straight forward presentation a screen offers), and that the boysenberry smell will return.

Still worried about this one. Still have lots of questions that need answered. We'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.
