If you are planning to source amusement rides, theme park equipment, or complete park solutions in 2026, there is one event on your calendar you cannot afford to miss. GTI Expo Guangzhou 2026 brings together hundreds of manufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals under one roof in Guangzhou, China — the global manufacturing heart of amusement equipment.
This guide covers everything you need to know before you book your trip: what GTI Expo is, why it matters, key dates and venue details, what you will see on the show floor, and — most importantly — where to find LMQ Rides (Zhengzhou Limeiqi Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd.) at Booth 5.1T10B in Hall Pazhou Complex.
Whether you are a theme park operator, a family entertainment center (FEC) investor, a water park developer, or an amusement ride distributor, this article will help you make the most of your visit.
What Is GTI Expo Guangzhou 2026?
Introduction to GTI Expo
GTI Expo (Global Theme & Amusement Industry Expo) is one of Asia’s most influential trade shows dedicated to the amusement and theme park industry. Held annually in Guangzhou, China, the exhibition showcases the full spectrum of amusement equipment — from adrenaline-pumping thrill rides to gentle family attractions, from water park slides to complete turnkey park solutions.
Unlike general trade fairs, GTI Expo is highly specialized. Every exhibitor on the floor is connected to the amusement industry. Every visitor who walks through the doors is a potential buyer, distributor, or industry partner. That focus is exactly what makes the event so efficient for serious sourcing.
The show has grown steadily over the past decade, attracting an increasingly international audience. Buyers from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe travel to Guangzhou each year to meet manufacturers face-to-face, inspect equipment in person, and negotiate directly at the source.
Why GTI Expo Matters to the Amusement Industry
The global amusement and theme park industry is projected to continue strong growth through 2030, driven by rising disposable income, tourism recovery, and the rapid development of entertainment infrastructure in emerging markets. But sourcing the right equipment is not simple. Amusement rides are high-value, safety-critical, and highly customized investments. You cannot evaluate a Ferris wheel or a roller coaster from a PDF file.
GTI Expo solves that problem by bringing buyers and manufacturers into the same room. At the show, you can:
- Touch, test, and evaluate equipment in person before making a decision.
- Compare multiple suppliers side by side in a single day.
- Discuss customization options directly with engineering teams.
- Negotiate pricing and terms face-to-face, often securing better conditions than remote inquiries.
- Build relationships that extend far beyond a single transaction.
For manufacturers like LMQ Rides, GTI Expo is also the ideal platform to demonstrate new technologies, launch new ride models, and strengthen relationships with existing international clients.

What Can You Expect at GTI Expo 2026?
The exhibition floor at GTI Expo is divided into themed zones, each focusing on a specific category of amusement equipment. Here is what you will find:
Amusement Park Equipment
This is the core of the show. You will see large-scale rides including Ferris wheels, roller coasters, pirate ships, drop towers, and flying chairs. Many exhibits include working demo units — not just static models — so you can observe ride motion, cabin design, lighting effects, and control systems in action.
For buyers evaluating equipment, this is invaluable. You can assess ride smoothness, noise levels, loading efficiency, and overall build quality firsthand.
Theme Park Attractions
Beyond mechanical rides, GTI Expo also features theme park attractions such as animatronics, themed walkthrough experiences, immersive dark rides, and interactive exhibits. As theme parks worldwide shift toward experience-driven design, these attractions are becoming an increasingly important part of the show.
Family Entertainment Center (FEC) Solutions
Family Entertainment Centers are one of the fastest-growing segments in the global amusement industry. At GTI Expo, you will find compact rides, arcade systems, trampoline parks, soft play structures, and turnkey FEC packages designed for shopping malls, tourist destinations, and urban entertainment districts.
FEC solutions are particularly popular among buyers from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, where mall-based entertainment is expanding rapidly.
Water Park Equipment
Water parks require specialized equipment, and GTI Expo delivers. Exhibitors showcase water slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, splash pads, and water play structures. Many water park suppliers also offer turnkey design and construction services, making it possible to plan an entire water park from a single source.
Indoor Playground Equipment
For operators targeting younger children and family audiences, the indoor playground section features soft play structures, trampoline parks, ninja warrior courses, and educational play systems. These systems are designed for safety, durability, and high repeat play value — critical factors for indoor family entertainment venues.
Why Visit GTI Expo Guangzhou 2026?
With so many trade shows around the world, why should GTI Expo be your priority in 2026? Here are three compelling reasons:
Meet Global Manufacturers at the Source
China is the world’s largest manufacturer of amusement equipment. By visiting GTI Expo, you are going directly to the source of global supply. Meeting manufacturers in person allows you to:
- Verify production capabilities by arranging a factory visit after the show.
- Discuss customization and branding options that are difficult to communicate remotely.
- Understand lead times, shipping logistics, and after-sales support directly from the source.
- Build trust — essential when investing in safety-critical equipment.
Discover New Ride Technologies
The amusement industry is evolving. LED lighting systems, energy-efficient drives, IoT-based ride monitoring, and themed cabin customization are becoming standard expectations rather than premium options. At GTI Expo, you can see these technologies demonstrated live and discuss how they can be integrated into your project.
Explore Turnkey Park Solutions
Not everyone visiting GTI Expo is looking for a single ride. Many buyers are planning entire parks — from small family entertainment centers to large outdoor theme parks. Several exhibitors, including Zhengzhou Limeiqi, offer turnkey solutions: site assessment, ride selection, park layout design, manufacturing, shipping, installation supervision, and staff training — all from a single partner.

- After-Sales Support (spare parts, technical consultation, ride upgrade advice)
Strict Quality Control & Safety Standards
Safety is non-negotiable in the amusement industry. LMQ maintains a multi-stage quality control system:
- Incoming material inspection — steel, bearings, electrical components, and fasteners are tested before entering production.
- In-process inspection — welding quality, dimensional accuracy, and surface preparation are checked at each production stage.
- Final factory acceptance test (FAT) — every ride is assembled and tested at our factory before shipment.
- Third-party inspection — we welcome and cooperate with independent inspection agencies appointed by our clients.
Our zero major safety accident record over 40+ years is the ultimate proof of our commitment to quality.
Successful International Projects
Theory is important. But nothing builds confidence like seeing completed projects in operation. Here are two examples that illustrate the range of work LMQ delivers.
Case Study 1: Space Land — Lima, Peru
Location: Lima, Peru — Magic Water Circuit of the Reserve Park
Project Type: Themed family amusement zone
Theme: UFO / Space
The Space Land project is a perfect example of how a compact themed amusement area can succeed in a high-traffic urban tourism destination. Located within the Magic Water Circuit of the Reserve Park — one of Lima’s most visited public leisure and night-tourism attractions — Space Land needed equipment that was visually recognizable, family-friendly, durable for outdoor operation, and easy for the local team to manage day after day.
LMQ supplied a customized ride mix including self-control plane rides (flying theme anchor), indoor pendulum rides, coin-operated bumper cars, mini trackless trains, tea cup rides, and mini carousels. The entire zone was decorated in a UFO/space theme, with customized cabin colors, lighting, decals, and entrance design creating a cohesive visual identity.
Key success factors:
- The UFO theme made the amusement area instantly recognizable and highly photogenic — critical for an evening-tourism environment.
- The ride mix was carefully balanced for families with children, maximizing repeat play.
- All equipment was specified for outdoor operation in Lima’s coastal climate, with enhanced coating and electrical protection.
- LMQ provided export documentation, shipping support, and remote installation guidance to ensure smooth commissioning.

Case Study 2: Ferris Wheel Donation — Afghanistan
Location: Afghanistan
Project Type: Ferris wheel donation & replacement
Challenge: Existing Ferris wheel structurally unsafe due to war damage
This project illustrates LMQ’s commitment to the social value of amusement infrastructure. After conducting a detailed technical assessment of an existing war-damaged Ferris wheel, LMQ engineers determined that repair was not feasible — the main steel structure was severely deformed, core load-bearing components were compromised, and long-term material fatigue made continued operation unsafe.
Rather than a standard commercial transaction, LMQ carried out a Ferris wheel donation initiative, delivering a complete replacement solution to support local public recreation. The new Ferris wheel featured:
- Structural redesign based on enhanced safety factors and international standards.
- New cabin system for improved passenger comfort and accessibility.
- Upgraded drive and control system adapted to local environmental conditions.
- Full remote technical guidance for installation and commissioning.
This project restored a safe public entertainment facility, created a new local landmark, and demonstrated that amusement rides can deliver meaningful social impact even in the most challenging environments.
