Many attendees will participate in industry education sessions throughout the week.
In this update, we chronicle our return to the Orange County Convention Center for IAAPA Expo 2021 to check out the latest trends and what is new in the amusement industry. The convention took place from November 15-19, 2021.
We stopped at every booth we had time for including most every major player in the theme park business to see what new products and upcoming attractions were being featured. Follow along as we take you down the aisles of this trade show.

We asked for exhibitor permission prior to taking photos and had press credentials during this conference.
We were here primarily to meet and talk to vendors in the trade show.
Immediately upon entry, the first thing visitors see are SBF Visa's latest collection of rides.
This includes a new dizzying Wipeout ride.
Also, the "Hampster Wheel" spinning coaster was back with a more refined rear spinning car. The manufacturer showed it off on one its traditional figure 8 tracks this time around.
At the B&M coaster, the park was showing off the lead car for Mako.
SeaWorld Orlando is right next door to the convention so this car didn't have to travel too far.
