The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo is an annual showcase in Orlando, Fla., of the attraction industry’s latest technology and ideas. This year the event takes place at the Orange County Convention Center from November 18-21, 2025.
As IAAPA Expo 2025 gets underway, we’re excited to bring you photos of all the new ride vehicles revealed during the event.
Nightflight Expedition at Dollywood
Dollywood has unveiled the custom-designed amphibious vehicles for Nightflight Expedition, the world’s first indoor family hybrid coaster and whitewater river raft ride.
During the five-and-a-half-minute experience, riders will embark on four distinct adventures: they will soar over the Smoky Mountains, plunge into whitewater rapids, climb a mountain range, and explore a bioluminescent lake.
Nightflight Expedition is scheduled to open in 2026. You can read more about Dollywood’s new attraction HERE.
Tormenta Rampaging Run at Six Flags Over Texas
The ride vehicles built by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) for Tormenta Rampaging Run were revealed at the park just a few minutes before being unveiled at IAAPA Expo.
The record-breaking dive roller coaster themed to the Spanish tradition of the running of the bulls will open at Six Flags Over Texas in 2026. You can read more about Tormenta Rampaging Run HERE.
SeaQuest: Legends of the Deep at SeaWorld Orlando
Vekoma has revealed the vehicle for SeaQuest: Legends of the Deep, a new dark ride opening at the park in 2026.
SeaQuest will be SeaWorld Orlando’s first suspended dark ride, with a ride system promised to be the first-of-its-kind in the world. You can read more about SeaQuest: Legends of the Deep HERE.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift at Universal Studios Hollywood
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Black Dodge Charger-inspired ride vehicles for Universal Studios Hollywood’s first high-speed outdoor coaster, which is set to open in 2026.
We’ve been told the attraction will feature four-person ride vehicles inspired by several iconic cars from the Fast & Furious franchise, but so far, this is the only one that’s been revealed. You can read more about Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift HERE.
Galacticoaster at Legoland Florida and Legoland California
We were hoping to see the ride vehicles for the new indoor Galacticoaster coming to Legoland in Florida and California next year, and we did (sort of). They were in Lego form.
Riders will be able to design their vehicle in the queue a la Test Track pre-2.0, so Legoland offered a few possibilities, including a hamburger wing.
Galacticoaster will be the first new roller coaster at Legoland California Resort in 20 years, and the first at Legoland Florida Resort in 15 years. You can read more about it HERE.
Wingz at Morgan’s Wonderland
A new ride model from Zamperla, “Wingz!” is the world’s first wheelchair accessible tower ride coming to Morgan’s Wonderland, the world’s first theme park designed with individuals with special needs in mind.
Riders will flap their arms to make the vehicle rise into the air.
RailRyder from S&S Worldwide
The new RailRyder vehicle revealed from S&S Worldwide currently has no theme park attached.
DOF Robotics Dark Ride
DOF Robotics revealed a new dark ride vehicle, but no specific park has been announced.
