Lo-Q wins contract for Legoland queuing system

Alternative Investment Market-listed Lo-Q has won another contract with Merlin Entertain- ments, which will see its queuing technology installed in the theme park operator's Legoland Deutschland, above. Lo-Q is the company behind the Q-bot, a device with which harassed parents at many British theme parks may already be familiar: it enables them to reserve times on busy rides rather than having to queue.

The deal is another milestone for Lo-Q. It posted a significant rise in first-half revenues, with full-year results to the end of October, due in a few weeks' time, promising increased profits (its first half tends to be loss-making, with many theme parks shut during the winter months).
