HALL OF FAME AWARD

The IAAPA Hall of Fame was established in 1990 to celebrate outstanding achievement and contributions to the growth and development of the amusement park and attractions industry; an industry that, like few others, depends on the imaginations, talents, and vision of its dream builders.

Since that time, dozens of industry pioneers have been honored.

The IAAPA Hall of Fame inductees are not chosen by virtue of their personal success alone, but rather for significant contributions to the entire industry, their community, and the world.

  • Have been associated with the attractions industry for a minimum period of 10 years.

  • Have contributed to the industry at large, in addition to his/her own company, in the fields of innovation, leadership, and/or education that has proved to be of value and will continue to be of value to the industry in the future.
