  • Chessington World of Adventures Guide
    Chessington World of Adventures Guide Overview One of three theme parks located in Greater London that are operated by Merlin Entertainments Group, Chessington World of Adventures combines a host of rides and shows with a world-class zoo. Whereas nearby LEGOLAND Windsor is aimed at families with kids aged 2-12, and Thorpe Park caters for teens and young adults, Chessington offers something for just about every age group. In addition to the theme park and zoo, the site is also home to the Holiday Inn Chessington, a safari-themed hotel that overlooks the Wanyama Village & Reserve area. History The origins of Chessington World of Adventures can be traced back to 1931, when a new zoo was established in the grounds of a fourteenth century country mansion by entrepreneur Reginald Goddard. The zoo was eventually acquired by the Pearsons Group in 1978, which subsequently merged with the Madame Tussauds chain to form The Tussauds Group. The newly-formed company embarked on an ambitious £12 million project to build a theme park on the site, and Chessington World of Adventures opened to the public in 1987.

  • Merlin Entertainments Plc - Interim Management Statement
    Merlin Entertainments plc - Interim Management Statement Continued execution on strategy Strong start to the year, benefiting from soft 2013 comparatives Full year expectations remain unchanged Merlin Entertainments today reports its trading performance for the 18 weeks to 3rd May 2014. Key trading highlights Like for like1 revenue growth for the first 18 weeks of the year of 12.0% Constant currency2, total Group revenue growth of 16.5% Reported currency, total Group revenue growth of 10.8% 2014 has started well with strong like for like growth of 12.0%, supported by more favourable weather in Northern Europe and successful promotional activity around the release of ‘The LEGO Movie’, the latter having a particularly positive impact on the two US LEGOLAND parks and LEGOLAND Discovery Centres. This period of outperformance should, however, be seen in the context of the suppressed performance in the 2013 comparative period, where results were adversely impacted by an earlier Easter holiday period and extremely cold weather in Northern Europe. As a consequence, underlying trading is consistent with the long term growth trajectory of the business and full-year expectations remain unchanged. Total revenue growth, at constant currency, of 16.5% reflects the full period impact of the midway attractions opened throughout 2013 and the LEGOLAND California hotel which opened in April 2013. The strengthening of Sterling has reduced total revenue growth, based on actual foreign exchange rates, by 5.7 percentage points. The financial position of the business remains strong, with net debt increasing marginally reflecting the seasonality of cashflows. Delivering on the strategy The Group has made further good progress against its six strategic growth drivers: Growing the existing estate through planned investment cycles ‘Flight of the Demons’ winged roller coaster at Heide Park opened on time and has received a positive, early reception.

  • EIC0945 Written Evidence Submitted By
    EIC0945 Written evidence submitted by Merlin Entertainments About Merlin Entertainments Merlin Entertainments is a global leader in location-based, family entertainment. As Europe's Number 1 and the world's second-largest visitor attraction operator, Merlin now operates 130 attractions, 20 hotels and 6 holiday villages in 25 countries and across 4 continents. Merlin’s purpose is to deliver memorable experiences to its 67 million guests around the world, through its iconic global and local brands, and the commitment and passion of its c.28,000 employees (peak season). Merlin Entertainments is a privately-owned company and is headquartered in Poole, Dorset, UK. It has 29 number of attractions located within the UK, including Alton Towers, THORPE PARK, Chessington World of Adventures, Warwick Castle, LEGOLAND Windsor, The London Eye, Madame Tussauds and various SEA LIFE centres. 2020 has been Merlin’s most challenging year to date, as the vast majority of our 130 attractions around the world were closed for part of the pandemic, including all of our UK attractions which had to shut their doors between March and June / July, missing out on their busiest and most crucial trading period. When these attractions did safely re-open, they benefited from the pandemic staycation boost, but with significantly reduced capacity to enable social distancing. With a lower footfall, our UK attractions have not been able to provide so many seasonal jobs; nor generate substantial additional spend from our guests for the wider community surrounding our attractions and local visitor economies. We note that at the first stage of this inquiry the Treasury Committee invited evidence on the speed, effectiveness and reach of the Government’s and Bank of England’s immediate financial responses to coronavirus, before subsequently examining the impact on the economy and different sectors; and looking at how the Government can work towards a sustained recovery.
