How does a normal person get in to this? I took a look and seemed you have to be either in the biz or media

You don't have to be an IAAPA member to register, it's just a little more expensive if your not. It's really not worth the price of admission if your not in the business or getting in free somehow. I went once as I was meeting an exhibitor there and he had a pass for me, I don't think I would ever pay to go though.

Thanks. I was hoping there was some kind of cheap ticket just for the expo hall. I know for a lot of the conferences I attend those are normally free or a pretty low price.... Then again the conferences I attend are not nearly as interesting

Another way is to know someone who is a member and in the biz and and have them sponsor you.

I think these coasters are going to look beautiful when they're built. I'd love to see an RMC coaster in Orlando.
