E-Inbusiness Streamlines Online Ticket Sales at Submitted By: PR Artistry Limited Friday, 20 July 2001 e-InBusiness streamlines online ticket sales at www.thedungeons.com Submitted by: PR Artistry Limited Friday, 20 July 2001 No more queuing for visitors to the spine-chilling leading tourist attractions e-InBusiness, specialist in transactional e-commerce systems, has enabled www.thedungeons.com to increase ticket sales with a new efficient on-line web site. The project to build a new Ticket & Gift Shop using proven technology took just three months and replaces a previous system that was difficult for customers to use. The new on-line store enables visitors to the site to buy tickets for The London Dungeon, The Edinburgh Dungeon, The York Dungeon and The Hamburg Dungeon and to buy a selection of unusual and macabre gifts. Customers choose which language they prefer, English or German, and which currency, Sterling, Deutschmarks, Euros or US Dollars. The system automatically calculates the relevant taxes applying VAT where appropriate, transparently to the customer. The person making the booking receives a confirmation email, which when printed acts as an e-ticket. People booking online gain the added benefit of fast track entry, which saves queuing. On-line reports of tickets sold are available and each attraction receives a daily email with details of the online tickets booked for that day. Orders for gifts are automatically transmitted on-line to a fulfilment centre Chrissi Drunk, project manager at Merlin Entertainments, the owner of the four Dungeons commented, “We set e-InBusiness very tight deadlines, and they were very committed to meeting those deadlines. “Ticket sales have increased since we introduced the new site. Customers like to see a separate area of the web site with a security policy and privacy code, a terms and conditions process and then the secure payment area. This builds people’s trust. e-InBusiness’s experience in this area has been invaluable to us.” Bob Grindley, commercial director at e-InBusiness added, “Designing the Dungeons gift shop was an ideal project for us. The end result is an application that is very easy to use that keeps the many complexities behind it hidden. We strongly believe in using proven technology to develop systems that are efficient and easily maintained. The Gift Shop at www.thedungeons.com is a prime example of this.” -ends- Notes to Editors About Merlin Entertainments Page 1 Merlin Entertainments Group Limited was formed in January 1999 following a management buyout from the attraction division of Vardon plc.

  • Thesis Title
    Death, Dying and Dark Tourism in Contemporary Society: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis by Philip R.Stone A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire October 2010 Student Declaration I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate: Philip R.Stone Type of Award: PhD School: School of Sport, Tourism & The Outdoors Abstract Despite increasing academic and media attention paid to dark tourism – the act of travel to sites of death, disaster and the seemingly macabre – understanding of the concept remains limited, particularly from a consumption perspective. That is, the literature focuses primarily on the supply of dark tourism. Less attention, however, has been paid to the consumption of ‗dark‘ touristic experiences and the mediation of such experiences in relation to modern-day mortality. This thesis seeks to address this gap in the literature. Drawing upon thanatological discourse – that is, the analysis of society‘s perceptions of and reactions to death and dying – the research objective is to explore the potential of dark tourism as a means of contemplating mortality in (Western) societies. In so doing, the thesis appraises dark tourism consumption within society, especially within a context of contemporary perspectives of death and, consequently, offers an integrated theoretical and empirical critical analysis and interpretation of death-related travel.

  • Grim Faces Wanted!
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Grim Faces Wanted! York Attraction search for a new model with a twist More high resolution images can be found here The York Dungeon are looking for a model for their brand-new character. There’s just one condition; you must be able to pull a hideous face. Previously, the York attraction have used their own actors to promote new additions to the site. However, this time they are taking a different route. New character Ugly Horace/Hilda will be a permanent fixture at the York Dungeon; their face will take pride of place on a board outside the Dungeon, horrifying every guest that enters. Entry to the competition is simple – just send in an image of you pulling the strangest and most unusual face possible. The winning entrant will be invited to the attraction for a photoshoot in full dungeon costume. “Our actors can pull some incredibly grim and inhuman faces, but we want to find someone even more wretched!” said Marketing Executive Ben Rosenfield. “Whoever is the unfortunate winner will be immortalised in the attraction and across all of our social media channels. We’ll also throw in a VIP ticket to the attraction.” Since opening in 1986, a plethora of historical figures and maniacal characters have dwelled within the depth of the York Dungeon. These rogues and rascals have included: the nefarious highwayman Dick Turpin; the unfortunate Margaret Clitherow; the vicious queen of the Brigante tribe Cartimandua and the terrifying Isabella Billington, who was executed for witchcraft in 1649. There are a few ways to submit your shocking selfies; message York Dungeon on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or use #GrimFaceYork email [email protected].
