Hall Of Fame Inductees
Each year, IAAPA inducts one or more industry professionals into the IAAPA Hall of Fame. Inductees include legends who have made significant contributions to the attractions industry, whether it be in committed service to a park, having established new and lasting trends, or successfully maintaining quality service from a manufacturer or facility. Hall of Fame awards are presented annually at IAAPA Attractions Expo. Below, you can find video clips of the awards services from 1990 to present.
