iaapa is well known in the thrill ride industry for its annual trade show which showcases new thrill rides available to theme parks around the world. however, due to the global pandemic, the industry has found itself changed both in terms of thrill ride attendance and handling event shows such as this one. to combat both of these, iaapa has decided to pilot a new virtual event. this event would be a virtual show that would have areas that are open to the general public, as well as sections available only to members and select guests.
