Lionet at IAAPA Expo Asia 2026 Hong Kong | Carnival & Midway Solutions for Global Amusement Parks

WHERE CARNIVAL
MEETS THE WORLD

Lionet brought its full Carnival & Midway Solutions portfolio to the most important amusement industry gathering in Asia-Pacific — forging new partnerships, deepening existing ones, and proving why the world's leading venues choose Lionet.

June 9–12, 2026 | HKCEC, Hong Kong | 300+ Exhibitors · 85+ Countries Represented | Carnival & Midway Solutions Showcase

Lionet took center stage at IAAPA Expo Asia 2026 in Hong Kong — the Asia-Pacific region's defining moment for the global attractions industry — showcasing the breadth and depth of its professional Carnival & Midway game space solutions.

From June 9 to 12 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Lionet connected with operators, developers, and buyers from over 85 countries, bringing its full suite of Carnival & Midway solutions to an audience that represents the future of global amusement. Themed around "Pursue the Wonder", this year's expo was a testament to the industry's momentum — and Lionet was at the center of it.

IAAPA Expo Asia is not just a trade show. It is the convergence point for decision-makers across theme parks, integrated resorts, family entertainment centers, water parks, and amusement attractions spanning one of the fastest-growing regions in global entertainment. For Lionet, showing up is not optional — it is strategic.

A Complete Carnival & Midway Ecosystem

The centerpiece of Lionet's exhibit was a fully integrated Carnival & Midway solution stack — purpose-built for venues that want more than equipment. We deliver a complete, revenue-optimized game space: from the layout and signage to the mechanics, prize merchandising, and staff training support.

Whether you're building a midway corridor in a 500,000 sq ft theme park or activating a seasonal carnival zone in a shopping mall, Lionet has the product depth, supply chain reliability, and design intelligence to make it work — globally, consistently.

Market Context — Why This Matters Now

$189B

The global amusement parks market is projected to reach USD 189 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% — driven by rising consumer spending on experiential entertainment, expanding middle-class populations in Asia-Pacific, and increasing demand for family-oriented recreation destinations.
Within this market, Carnival & Midway game zones represent one of the highest-ROI additions a venue operator can make: low capex, high repeatability, broad age-group appeal, and proven incremental revenue generation. Lionet exists to help operators capture this opportunity — reliably, professionally, and at global scale.

IAAPA Research confirms the Asia-Pacific region alone is expected to host over 425 million visitors and generate over USD 19 billion in theme park spend by end of 2025, reinforcing the strategic importance of the Hong Kong expo as a business hub.

Following IAAPA Around the World — By Design

Lionet does not attend IAAPA expos. Lionet commits to the IAAPA circuit — a deliberate, multi-year strategy to maintain continuous visibility across the world's most consequential gathering of attractions industry professionals.

IAAPA, founded in 1918, today represents over 9,000 member companies from more than 100 countries — covering amusement parks, theme parks, water parks, FECs, zoos, aquariums, cruise lines, and every category of supplier in between. Appearing at IAAPA Expo Asia, IAAPA Expo (Orlando), and IAAPA Expo Europe is how serious global players build credibility, pipeline, and partnerships across all major markets simultaneously.

"The best business conversations happen in person. IAAPA creates a space where trust is built face to face — with a handshake, a shared laugh, and a real conversation about what a venue needs. That's what we come for, year after year."

Moments from IAAPA Expo Asia 2026

Hong Kong delivered. Three days of business, education, and human connection — exactly what IAAPA is built for. The Lionet team was on the floor for every session, every evening reception, and every meaningful conversation in between.

What Sets a Serious Supplier Apart

In a crowded amusement equipment market, buyers are not just selecting products — they're selecting partners. The difference between a one-time transaction and a long-term relationship comes down to capability, reliability, and presence. Lionet builds all three.

Product Depth, Not Just Product Volume

Our Carnival & Midway range goes beyond standard equipment catalogs. We design for the commercial realities of venue operators — high throughput, low maintenance, and consistently strong guest engagement metrics.

Global Infrastructure, Local Intelligence

We have delivered to 60+ countries and understand the regulatory, cultural, and operational nuances that determine whether a game zone succeeds or struggles. That intelligence is built into every product and every partnership.

IAAPA-Level Accountability

Sustained participation across IAAPA's global expo circuit is the industry's highest-signal commitment to standards, safety, and professional excellence. It puts us in the same room as the world's best — and we belong there.

Operators Think Revenue. So Do We.

Midway zones done right are profit centers, not amenities. Lionet's consulting approach to game selection, layout, and prize strategy is informed by data from venues across every market we serve.
