Entech Creative Industries is proud to be part of a prestigious Brass Ring Award for Excellence at IAAPA Attractions Expo 2010

The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) presented the prestigious Brass Ring Awards Nov. 17, 2010, in conjunction with IAAPA Attractions Expo 2010 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., Nov. 15 – 19.

“Blue Horizons” was engineered and built by Entech Creative Industries, under the direction of the Sea World San Diego team including Stan Myer, Darlene Walter and Scott Helmstedter. Entech Creative Industries is proud to have engineered and built this masterpiece; including the stage show set pieces, the wave forms, the lift system and the bridges.

ENTECH AND KOKORO – FRIENDS AND PARTNERS

Entech Creative — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:59:06 +0000

This is a late breaking story on the blossoming exclusive partnership between Entech Creative Industries and Kokoro of Japan. While the details of the partnership are still under wraps (you’d better believe that this marketing guy will post them as soon as they’re available), we do know that the deal is structured towards Entech Creative taking on North American marketing, sales, and distribution of the Kokoro line of advanced robotics, also known as “Actroids.”

At this point two main means of distribution are being considered; development and construction of new and customized robotic characters and actroids, and rental of existing creations. With a large library of existing characters and animals readily available, Entech will be offering rental and leasing options for short term delivery. As well, with the ability to plan and develop highly developed, photo-realistic, multi-lingual actroids capable of complex motions and emotive expressions at a price point that is extremely competitive, Entech will be aggressively marketing these special built applications to a broad range of current and new customers.

Kokoro is very well known for life-like human robots (see the video in this post and the other video links to the Kokoro marketing videos we swiped on the way out of the lobby). The precision and hand craftsmanship of each of their robot projects is astounding and has been featured in a number of US publications, including Wired.com.

Future product launches for the Kokoro line are planned in the Theme and Amusement Park Industries (at the IAAPA show), Museum Industry (at ASTC and AAM), Experiential Marketing (through Entech’s marketing and advertising channels), and other direct sales and marketing routes.

Entech Creative has added another award to its treasure chest with the “2008 Best New Theme Park Attraction” by ThemeParkInsider.com. This prestigious award was presented to Universal Studios for the new Simpsons Ride. Entech was pleased to play a key part in helping make this thrilling ride unforgettable.

This year’s award is Entech’s second in this category; in 2007, Dollywood’s Mystery Mine Roller Coaster was awarded both “Best New Theme Park Attraction” by ThemeParkInsider.com and Amusement Today’s ranking of #2 new ride for 2007. As always, we are proud to have had a part in making these projects shine above the rest.
