Virtual queueing company Lo-Q has reached agreement with Lego Windsor Park (Legoland) for the use of its VQ2020 queue management system.
Launched last year by Lo-Q - and the company's flagship product - VQ2020 provides theme park visitors with a Q-bot, a hand held, wireless device which lets them make reservations for their favourite rides from anywhere within the park.
Once a ride is reserved, the visitor is placed in a 'virtual' queue, avoiding the need to physically queue. They still have to wait for their turn to come around but are free to visit other attractions or gift shops or refreshment outlets in the meantime.
The two year extendable agreement provides for the operation of the Lo-Q system by Legoland from 15 March 2008.
Legoland is part of the Merlin Entertainments Group and Lo-Q’s early experiments and trials were carried out at Thorpe Park, also owned by Merlin. In addition, Lo-Q Text-Q is currently in use at the London Dungeon and other Merlin venues.

attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
