About Lo-Q plc

 

Lo-Q plc listed on AIM in April 2002 and has active subsidiary companies in the USA and Canada.

 

Lo-Q designs, installs and operates systems which allow members of the public to make ride and show reservations when they visit a theme park or other attraction. Lo-Q's flagship product, VQ2020, is a true virtual queuing system for theme parks. Lo-Q's proprietary hand-held units, called Q-bots, are used in major theme parks around the world. By the end of 2009 Lo-Q passed its 5 millionth user of the Lo-Q system.

 

The dynamic virtual queuing concept arose because of a wait in a line by Leonard Sim, the company founder and inventor of the Lo-Q System, and his family in a Florida theme park in the 90's. The ride had mechanical problems, which meant that the almost two hour wait was a waste of time.

 

Lo-Q's headquarters and development labs are in the Smith Centre high technology campus near Henley-on-Thames, UK, where a team of highly skilled engineers carry out hardware, software and systems design. The USA headquarters is in Lithia Springs, Georgia, near Atlanta where support, financial and installation staff are based.

 

The first installation went live in March 2001 and with the addition of Six Flags, Washington, there are a total of 15 sites across the world using the VQ2020 system, namely:

 

Six Flags Washington DC, USA

Six Flags Over Georgia, USA

Six Flags New England, USA

Six Flags Great Adventure, USA

Six Flags Over Texas, USA

Six Flags Fiesta Texas, USA

Six Flags St Louis, USA

Six Flags Great America, USA

Six Flags Magic Mountain, USA

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, USA

Six Flags La Ronde, Canada

Dollywood, USA

Dreamworld, Australia

Legoland Windsor, UK

Mirabilandia, Italy

 

Lo-Q also owns a Q-txt product which allows mobile phone users to reserve their place in line. Users purchase credits that are used to reserve a time to ride. The user then receives a text with details of their reservation, time and a unique code which is used to gain entry and verify their booking. Q-txt was first used at the London Dungeon and Madame Tussauds in London, and is now installed in:

 

Flamingo Land, Yorkshire

Parque Isla Mágica, Spain.
