LO-Q wins first European theme park installation of its VQ2020 queue management
system
Lo-Q plc today announces it has reached agreement with Lego Windsor Park Ltd for
the use of its VQ2020 queue management system. The two year extendable agreement
provides for the operation of the system from March 15th this year.
The LEGOLAND park is part of the Merlin group, which is a major global player
in the theme park market. Lo-Q's Text-Q product is already in use at the London
Dungeon and other Merlin venues.
VQ2020 is Lo-Q's flagship product and was introduced last year to capitalise on
Lo-Q's extensive operational experience and in-house system development
capabilities. Park visitors who use the system employ a proprietary, hand held,
wireless unit, the Q-bot, to make reservations for their favourite rides from
anywhere in the park. The true virtual queuing means employed in VQ2020 means
that all visitors wait the same time for the ride so the Q-bot system is fair
to all.
Vicky Brown, General Manager of LEGOLAND said: 'Our new system allows our park
visitors to avoid physically waiting in the queue line for our major rides. Our
park is aimed at the under 12 age group, and they will especially enjoy having
the Q-bot wait in the queue for them. The Q-bot is a key part of our objective
of giving our visitors an even more enjoyable experience.
Lo-Q's Managing Director, Leonard Sim, said: 'It is really exciting for us to
have one of our systems operating in the UK, and we are particularly pleased to
work with LEGOLAND. We expect the system to be well received by visitors to the
park, and look forward to it contributing to our revenues for the year ending
31 December 2008.
