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 Asia 2025 in Shanghai, IAAPA Expo Europe 2025 in September, and IAAPA Expo 2025 in November.

The call for video submissions for 2025 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, 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 2025 submission guidelines before uploading.
