Easter launch for two top London attractions

Article Abstract:

Two major leisure attractions opened in London, England, in Mar 1997. Comments from the large crowds visiting The London Aquarium indicated general customer satisfaction with this attraction. Visitors were particularly impressed with the two enormous tanks in the aquarium, but some people would have appreciated better signing and themeing. The Science Museum intends its new Science of Sport exhibition to demonstrate the importance of science in sport. Visitors can participate in a game of virtual volleyball, experience snowboarding and try sports commentating.

London to become themed capital?

Article Abstract:

Tussauds Group plans to link with the BBC to develop a theme park at Greenwich, London. This will benefit from the fact that Greenwich is to be the site of the Millennium Festival. Warner Brothers hopes to invest 225 million pounds sterling in a movie theme park at Hillingdon, London, but has not yet received planning permission. Also in London, Battersea Power Station is to be converted into a very large leisure and shopping complex.
