Wet'n'Wild Sydney Contract Win
Three year agreement with Village Roadshow Theme Parks for
accesso LoQueue(sm) at Sydney park
accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology
solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets,
today announces a three year agreement with Village Roadshow Theme
Parks to install the accesso LoQueue virtual queuing solution at
Wet'n'Wild Sydney.
The agreement will see accesso's patented Qband(sm) deployed
across nine attractions in one of Australia's most visited water
parks. The waterproof RFID wristband allows guests to queue
virtually for their chosen ride before being notified by the
device's countdown display that their turn has arrived.
The agreement will see Wet'n'Wild Sydney become the second
Village Roadshow venue to leverage accesso's Qband, providing
compelling evidence of accesso's ability to expand existing
relationships through the provision of multiple products or
services to the same operator. This agreement also reflects the
Group's increasing focus on the Asia-Pacific region where accesso
has recently hired a regional Managing Director to coordinate its
sales efforts.
Commenting, Tom Burnet, Executive Chairman of accesso Technology
Group plc said:
"We're delighted to have expanded our relationship with Village
Roadshow with an agreement that reflects a significant show of
trust in our solution.
Such a vote of confidence makes us very proud, and we look
forward to three more years of partnership with this prestigious
operator."
Commenting, Dianne Rigg, General Manager of Wet'n'Wild Sydney
said:
"The Qband has been very popular at our Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas
park and now guests at our Sydney park will be able to get more out
of their visit, spending less time in line and more time enjoying
our world-class attractions."
