Legendary Italian rides maker Alberto Zamperla is one of two inductees to the IAAPA Hall of Fame to be announced this week during the show in Orlando. Zamperla is joined by Frederick Langford in the honours, a programme that celebrates significant and lasting contributions to the global attractions industry.

Antonio Zamperla has run his family company since 1994 and grew it from an annual output of 50 rides to more than 200, opening production facilities in China and Belarus to supplement that in Italy. He has worked to bring international safety manufacturing standards to the market and improved rider accessibility.
