About this time each year, ride manufacturers and theme park operators gather in Orlando, Fla., for the International Assn. of Amusement Parks and Attractions trade show.

Ride makers use the show to announce attractions for the coming year and unveil ride concepts they hope will become the next big industry sensation.
