Morgan’s, the non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals of all ages and abilities through fully inclusive, Ultra-Accessible™ initiatives, has announced the debut of a new inclusive ride for Morgan’s Wonderland and developed in partnership with Zamperla at IAAPA Expo 2025.

“Our partnership with Zamperla shows what’s possible when creativity meets compassion,” said CEO of Morgan’s, Dr. Brent Fields.

“Together, we’re consistently showing the industry that accessibility and excitement can go hand in hand.”

Riders given Wingz to fly like never before

The ride’s official unveiling, a tower thrill ride called WingZ, took place during IAAPA Expo 2025 in Orlando, where industry leaders, park owners, and innovators gather each year to explore the future of attractions.

In addition, the debut highlights Morgan’s decades-long leadership in accessible design with Zamperla’s world-class innovation in ride engineering.

“Trust and common goals forged during the relationship between Morgan’s and Zamperla has helped bring this first-of-its-kind attraction to the market. Through collaboration and dedication, our respective teams have worked together to create an impactful ride which is sure to delight the guests at Morgan’s Wonderland and many other parks to come,” said North American Sales Manager, Michael Coleman.

Meanwhile, WingZ is an innovative, broad demographic, interactive tower ride designed with accessibility at its heart. WingZ allows guests of all abilities to share the exhilarating sensation of soaring together. Its unique motion and responsive interactivity creates a feeling of freedom not found in any other attraction. With thoughtful engineering, WingZ shows how technical innovation can create truly inclusive fun.

“Everyone deserves the chance to smile”

Antonio Zamperla, CEO of Zamperla, commented: “15 years ago, my father had a vision which was that everyone deserves the chance to smile on a Zamperla ride. I am proud to see our team continually developing our ALL ACCESS lineup of attractions and partner with Morgan’s in bringing the WingZ to life.”

“When you innovate, you create new possibilities. With WingZ, people with disabilities will experience something for the first time in their lives – the thrill of a drop you can’t imagine until you feel it,” said Morgan’s Wonderland Park President, Catherine Lorenzo.

IAAPA to expand disability awareness

In addition to the ride announcement, Morgan’s is also partnering with IAAPA to expand disability awareness across the global attractions community.

“Morgan’s Inclusion Institute is proud to become IAAPA’s exclusive provider of disability and accessibility training, while also being designated as an IAAPA Pre-Approved Provider to support member organizations in advancing inclusion,” said Morgan’s Inclusion Institute President, Enzo Piscopo.

Through a collaborative effort with the Morgan’s Inclusion Institute, IAAPA will introduce “Disabilities Awareness,” a new Disability Inclusion Course available through its Learning Management System (LMS). The introductory course will be offered free of charge to encourage participation and promote greater understanding of accessibility within the industry.

“We’re excited to partner with Morgan’s to help equip the next generation of attractions professionals to think inclusively from the ground up,” added IAAPA President and CEO, Jakob Wahl.

“When we combine innovation, education, and empathy, we transform the guest experience for everyone.” “Disabilities Awareness” marks the beginning of a broader educational series launching in January 2026, continuing the joint commitment of Morgan’s and IAAPA to advance inclusion as an integral part of the attractions industry’s future. As part of this shared mission, Morgan’s Inclusion Institute will also partner with Zamperla to advance inclusive amusement ride development and drive inclusive innovation across the global attractions industry.

Zamperla debuts Double Heart Multi-launch Roller Coaster

Moreover, Zamperla not only debuted one attraction, but two, with the unveiling of its first-ever Double Heart multi-launch Roller Coaster. The unique ride concept will make its debut at Lotte World in South Korea next year.

“One of the highlights of our 60th anniversary is the world’s first Double Heart coaster opening at Lotte World Adventure Busan,” said Antonio Zamperla, President & CEO of Zamperla.

“As we step into the next 60 years, we are thrilled that experiences like this record-breaking coaster and great partners like the Lotte Corporation lead the way.”
