October 2007

Dear Producers, Editors, and Reporters:

For a brief time each November, the universe of everything needed to operate a successful entertainment destination – from major rides to enthralling new games, from new technologies to timeless classic thrills – is showcased under one roof at International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Attractions Expo 2007. IAAPA invites members of the press to cover this global gathering at IAAPA Attractions Expo 2007.

The attractions industry will shine the week of Nov. 12-16 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., immersing attendees from 85 nations and press with dazzling new rides, technology, games, equipment, and novelties from more than 100 product categories. 

As the premier gathering for the industry, this year’s Expo has the theme “Expanding Your Universe – Find What’s New in the Attractions World” and features more than one million gross square feet filled by more than 1,000 exhibitors from around the world. The event also includes educational programs and networking events.

Press credentials to the most entertaining and exciting trade show are now available! This is a phenomenal opportunity to take part in the largest professional gathering of the attractions industry and preview the 2008 theme park season!
