PHOTOS: Highlights from the IAAPA Attractions Expo Floor (Part 1)

This year's IAAPA Attractions Expo may be over, but the event certainly left a mark in the theme park industry thanks to the new ride systems that were unveiled throughout the four-day exposition. From all-terrain dark rides to spinning water slides, Guests can look forward to plenty of new, amazing attractions in the coming years. This afternoon we invite you to take a look around the Expo floor to see what you might have missed.
