Wade Shows Purchases Three+ European Attractions at IAAPA Expo 2022
Frank Zaitshik and Michele Bertazzon Shake Hands on a New Deal
At the 2022 IAAPA Attractions Expo, Wade Shows made a deal to purchase three Bertazzon pieces, a Super Himalaya, a Swing Tower, and a double decker carousel which will be added to the show's route. Zaitshik is also in talks to include a new, spectacular attraction to his ride arsenal. The show recently took delivery of a new Wave Swinger, also from Bertazzon.
As part of the Wade family's continued expansion and diversification, Marina Zaitshik Small and Johan Small also announced some purchases with their company: Iconic Midway Rides. The company made waves in the industry earlier in the year when they announced the purchase of an XXL ride from KMG to be delivered in 2023/2024. The massive super spectacular will play some of the US's largest events.
The pair announced the purchase of two more pieces of equipment, a Ring of Fire ride and a family ride, the Beach Shack. Iconic Midway rides will use the pieces both on the Wade Shows route and at select independent midways.
