IEE PREVIEW: Vekoma to discuss upcoming projects

At this year's IAAPA Expo Europe (IEE), formerly the Euro Attractions Show, Vekoma will be on hand to discuss its upcoming projects.

In 2019 alone, the company has almost 20 coasters opening globally. A recent example is the Hyper Space Warp, which opened in July at Fantawild Oriental Heritage Changsha in China. The sit-down thrill coaster includes six airtime hills, three inversions and two underground tunnels.

Vekoma Rides is one of the largest rollercoaster manufacturers in the world, with all of its services delivered under one roof.

Visit at booth #1630

This year’s show, set to be the largest in the event's history, will be held in Paris, at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles exhibition centre from 16 - 19 September.

It is expected to attract more than 15,000 professionals from across the leisure, tourism and entertainment industries in more than 100 countries, and will play host to the largest show floor in the event’s history, with more than 600 exhibitors in 17,500 sq m of exhibition space.

In addition the conference will offer 15 education sessions, covering a number of key topics, including: creating guest experiences, operations, communication and design. Adding to these, there will be nine in-depth learning experiences, including the IAAPA Institute for Attractions Managers at Disneyland Paris; a one-day waterpark forum; and a IAAPA Safety Institute session at Parc Astérix.

As always, networking will play a key part at the event. This year, there will be six key networking events, during which Expo attendees can mix with their peers in a more informal setting.
