What's New Video and Photo Upload

This is the place where IAAPA members may directly upload video and photos of their new attractions. IAAPA member facility owners and operators, along with IAAPA member manufacturers and suppliers, are encouraged to share their new attractions of all sizes.

Submitted b-roll from IAAPA’s different regions may be shared in the “What's New” video at IAAPA Expo Asia 2026 in Hong Kong SAR, China; IAAPA Expo Europe 2026 in London, United Kingdom; IAAPA Expo 2026 in Orlando, Florida USA; and IAAPA Expo Middle East 2027 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The call for video submissions for 2026/2027 IAAPA Connections events is now posted below for each event.

IAAPA’s annual What's New videos highlight the best additions and innovations at amusement parks, theme parks, water parks, zoos, aquariums, family entertainment centers, science centers, museums, natural attractions, and resorts in each region. Rides, roller coasters, water slides, animal habitats, games, galleries, exhibits, zip lines, alpine coasters, and more are accepted.
