New ImmotionVR location
Immotion Group Plc ("Immotion Group" or the "Group"), the
UK-based immersive virtual reality ("VR") 'Out of Home'
entertainment business, is pleased to announce that it has opened a
new ImmotionVR location at Xscape Yorkshire, Castleford.
The Company now has three ImmotionVR experiences in operation,
following the installation of ImmotionVR, Bristol last year and
ImmotionVR, Manchester in June. This roll out is in line with the
Company's strategy to build its suite of owned and operated sites
within shopping centres and family entertainment destinations
across the UK.
This is one of three revenue streams identified by the company
to facilitate its vision to become a leading participant in the
'Out of Home' VR experience market by creating and publishing high
quality VR content and combining it with its VR motion platforms to
create truly immersive experiences.
The family-focused entertainment and leisure attraction, Xscape
Yorkshire, welcomed 4.2 million visitors in 2017. Xscape Yorkshire
also has an average 4.5 out of 5 rating on consumer website
TripAdvisor.
Martin Higginson, Executive Chairman of Immotion, said: "We are
rapidly delivering on our strategy and are very proud to have
delivered our third ImmotionVR centre in just seven months. We are
delighted to partner with Xscape Yorkshire, which provides great
family entertainment to the people of Yorkshire and beyond. We hope
that this latest ImmotionVR site delivers the same fun and great
ratings that we have seen in Bristol and Manchester as we continue
to build the business across the UK, Europe and USA in what is an
exciting, fast growing market."
Jason Warren, Xscape Yorkshire General Manager, said:
"ImmotionVR has filled the gap for quality virtual reality
experiences at Xscape. It's a fantastic addition to our line-up and
is sure to be a hit with our customers, both big and small."
