"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 debuting at IAAPA Expo Europe in September 2024, and IAAPA Expo in November 2024. The call for video submissions for 2025 IAAPA Connections events will be posted here in the future.

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, and resorts in each region. Rides, roller coasters, water slides, animal habitats, games, galleries, exhibits, and more are accepted.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the submission guidelines before uploading.
