Looks like this video in the follow-up tweet is also posted (separately) in the subsequent tweet by Planet Attractions

Naruto is coming to Parc Spirou in 2026. A Family Thrill Launch Coaster model from Zamperla, the ride features multiple launches, a dead-end spike and a backwards section. With a minimum height of just 105cm the ride is designed to cater to young riders pic.twitter.com/KJ61tJUq2m

EDIT : YT link for that POV (in the middle of a longer Zamperla video with a lot of offride renders);

Another reveal and possibly the best so far! The train for Tecuani Beast at the Vekoma #IAAPAExpo showfloor booth. The multi launch coaster coming to Vidanta World in Mexico even has an LED lighted trim!#IAAPA2024 #tecuanibeast #vidantaworld #vekoma #coasterforce pic.twitter.com/1c0Eb96PgH

This one has an endless supply of complimentary Twizzlers on it during the event.What's unique about this screaming swing gondola vs any other one
Still got the uncomfortable seats and naff restraints…

It’s unlikely. The first day is usually running around to the reveals and covering the bigger stuff on the floor. IAAPA does a Show Daily newsletter that’s typically available on their website the morning after each day. It might be covered in that or on the IAAPA socials.

Overall though day went remarkably well, as a first timer it was a pretty big experience, especially with a car being revealed for my home park (AlpenFury). Got to meet and chat with @ECG and a large handful of others, three more days on the floor for me.
Did get a little soaked during a mishap at one of the booths, I accidentally avoided a sensor that would’ve shut off a waterfall on a path. My wet mistake.
Not very many big pressers or car reveals as previous years I feel. Am aware that B&M cancelled something at the last minute, Legoland Florida was also pulled really early on. Arrived at a good time to get solid spots for AlpenFury, Tecuani Beast, and Proslide’s Hive announcements, everything was solid. Opening ceremony especially was a bit extravagant, had some nitpicks with the teleprompters and some AI art but asides from that theatrics are a great way to start the morning.
