The 2015 IAAPA Attractions Expo opens its doors today at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, for a three-day run, covering all aspects of the theme parks industry and family entertainment centres.
The show, predominantly rides and attractions but with a very strong coin-op and amusement sector, is vast. There are nine miles of aisles for the 1,000-plus exhibitors and the show is expected to chalk up 28,000 visitors, of whom 18,000 are buyers from over 100 countries.
All of the big names in coin-op are there; Sega, Bandai Namco, Bay Tek, Bob’s Space Racers, ICE, LAI, Stern, Trio Tech, Apple, Benchmark, Unis, Wahlap, Andamiro, Betson, Coastal, Elaut, QubicaAMF and many others.
IAAPA has now taken over as the principal coin-operated amusements trade show of the world, even though its content is only partially in that sector.
Full reports from the show will follow in the December and January issues of InterGame magazine.
