John Wilkes. (Tower Hill Pageant celebrates second anniversary)
Article Abstract:
Tower Hill Pageant, a dark ride museum in London, celebrates its second anniversary on 2nd September, with visitor numbers increasing dramatically. General Manager of the ride, John Wilkes, believes the rise is due to new spending on PR and marketing. Wembley acts as consultant to Pageant and will implement a 150 thousand pounds sterling enhancement programme during the next few months, involving lighting, movement and sound. John Wilkes does not believe that the new Tower Bridge attraction nearby will affect the future of the Pageant.
