The 2015 IAAPA Show (Amusement Park Tradeshow) hosted in Orlando Florida was another success with nearly 800,000 square feet of amusement rides, attractions, video games to yes haunted house equipment. Haunted House owners didn't number many probably around 100 or so of the nearly 20,000 who visited the show but they where not disappointed with so much to see and experience. There was not many haunted house vendors at this year show as haunt vendors do not have the time to exhibit. Total number of haunt owners couldn't have been more than 120 or so... far cry from the 8000 who will attend the Haunted House Tradeshow in St Louis March 2016.
Still this is the biggest amusement tradeshow in the WORLD. If you have never attended this show you are missing out however a haunt owner should maybe visit this show once every 2 or 3 years as not a whole lot changes from one year to the next. If you have never attended you are missing out big time on more vendors than you've ever seen before. IAAPA Show happens each November in Orlando Florida. See the video below of a complete haunted house showcased on the tradeshow floor.
The next big event is the 2016 Transworld Halloween and Haunted House tradeshow featuring The Darkness haunted house tour. More details coming soon!
Now that Halloween season is over what do haunted house owners, and haunt fans have to look forward to coming up this year 2016? Find anything and everything Halloween and Haunted House related here at www.Hauntworld.com.
