    Star Wars at MT

    NEW STAR WARS AT MADAME TUSSAUDS UNIQUE INTERACTIVE STAR WARS EXPERIENCE OPENS MAY 2015 A NEW multi-million pound experience opens at Madame Tussauds London in May, with a major new interactive Star Wars attraction. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, the unique, immersive experience brings to life some of film’s most powerful moments featuring extraordinarily life- like wax figures in authentic walk-in sets. Fans can star alongside their favourite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI, with dynamic special effects and dramatic theming adding to the immersion as they encounter 16 characters in 11 separate sets. The attraction takes the Madame Tussauds experience to a whole new level with an experience that is about much more than the wax figures. Guests will become truly immersed in the films as they step right into Yoda's swamp as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back or feel the fiery lava of Mustafar as Anakin turns to the dark side in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Spanning two floors, the experience covers a galaxy of locations from the swamps of Dagobah and Jabba’s Throne Room to the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Fans can come face-to-face with sinister Stormtroopers; witness Luke Skywalker as he battles Darth Vader on the Death Star; feel the Force alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn when they take on Darth Maul on Naboo; join the captive Princess Leia and the evil Jabba the Hutt in his Throne Room; and hang out with Han Solo in the cantina before stepping onto the Millennium Falcon with the legendary Wookiee warrior, Chewbacca.

    City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous

    City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous What’s Your City’s Claim to Fame? By Jeff Coy, ISHC Paris was the world’s most-visited city in 2010 with 15.1 million international arrivals, according to the World Tourism Organization, followed by London and New York City. What’s Paris got that your city hasn’t got? Is it the nickname the City of Love? Is it the slogan Liberty Started Here or the idea that Life is an Art with images of famous artists like Monet, Modigliani, Dali, da Vinci, Picasso, Braque and Klee? Is it the Cole Porter song, I Love Paris, sung by Frank Sinatra? Is it the movie American in Paris? Is it the fact that Paris has numerous architectural icons that sum up the city’s identity and image --- the Eiffel Tower, Arch of Triumph, Notre Dame Cathedral, Moulin Rouge and Palace of Versailles? Do cities need icons, songs, slogans and nicknames to become famous? Or do famous cities simply attract more attention from architects, artists, wordsmiths and ad agencies? Certainly, having an architectural icon, such as the Eiffel Tower, built in 1889, put Paris on the world map. But all these other things were added to make the identity and image. As a result, international tourists spent $46.3 billion in France in 2010. What’s your city’s claim to fame? Does it have an architectural icon?

Now guests to Madame Tussauds London will be given the opportunity to experience life as a royal, as they step up onto the balcony to a magnificent fanfare and wave to their subjects. Georgia Toffolo said: “I may have been Queen of the Jungle for a few months now but I haven’t yet been invited to Buckingham Palace. Madame Tussauds London is definitely the next best thing – I’ve loved taking my place alongside the rest of the family on the Royal Balcony. The whole experience has made me feel like a true royal and I can’t get over the likeness!” The Royal Family set is one of the most popular areas in the iconic attraction and each figure has been restyled to reflect their change of scenery. Prince Philip, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge are all dressed smartly in morning suits. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Cornwall wear colourful outfits topped with millinery masterpieces by Jane Corbett and Philip Treacy, respectively. Finally the Queen stands proudly in a flourish of colour, front and centre of the Royal Balcony experience.
  • Grim Faces Wanted!

    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].
