Delivering Memorable Experiences DELIVERING MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES MERLIN ENTERTAINMENTS PLC ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2017 AT A GLANCE To find out more information about GEOGRAPHIC our brand diversification, go online at: AND BRAND www.merlinentertainments.biz DIVERSIFICATION OUR GLOBAL PORTFOLIO Our international footprint and variety of attraction types means we are not dependent on any one market. We operate in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific, with a long term ambition of an even split between these three regions. We have a broadly 60/40 balance of outdoor and indoor attractions, and with over two thirds of our visitors being domestic, are not reliant on ‘fly-in’ markets. At an attraction level, visits are increasingly booked in advance, also reducing volatility.

  • 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.
