ALL NEW ICE ADVENTURE FEATURING GENTOO PENGUINS NOW OPEN

Travel to the frozen extremities of the Antarctic and experience life with a family of real Gentoo penguins at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium this spring.
These acrobats of the penguin world are taking up residence in ICE ADVENTURE - a brand new, major themed experience that will transport guests to a research station deep in the Antarctic.
As the temperature drops visitors will journey through an icy landscape full of fun interactive features.
Look at the world through snow goggles, run your hands along a wall of real ice or dip your hands into freezing touch pools.
Guests can even get a taste of polar “white out” training as they explore a recreation of a remote ice station complete with authentic equipment donated by leading science and research organisation British Antarctic Survey*.
When they arrive in the penguin viewing ice cave, visitors will get a direct window into the habitat of the magical Gentoo penguin, both above and below land.
As they dive beneath the water and play in their carefully created new home complete with real ice, guests will discover the challenges of life in the most inhospitable landscape on earth and the dangers its inhabitants face.
They will also be able to meet some other Antarctic dwellers - a trio of Japanese Spider Crabs.

EDF Energy London Eye introduces a technological innovation to enhance guests’ experiences

The EDF Energy London Eye is delighted to announce its brand new in-capsule experience, which will be available to all guests who visit London’s most iconic landmark. The London Eye’s capsules are now complete with state of the art Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices, displaying bespoke content created by LMC design and Henry Stuart Photography exclusively for the London Eye.
The interactive touch screen guides are designed to enhance the guest experience as they take in the views from the world’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel.
It provides a more interactive way to take in the capital’s best sights and is available as part of the standard ticket price.
Features include key information on landmarks that can be seen from the London Eye as well as a 3D view of each sight, further bringing it to life before the visitors’ eyes. Innovative, 360 degree non-stop-24-hour filming has granted the EDF Energy London Eye and its guests the first ever multi-dimensional views of the spectacular sights of the capital.
Over a period of three months in 2011, the EDF Energy London Eye carried out an extensive consumer research programme of 5,000 visitors over 1,000 rotations to find out how the guest experience could be further enhanced. Several strong trends emerged from this reserch, making it clear that what visitors wanted was more information about the panoramic views, whether they were tourists brand new to the city or Londoners, familiar with the landscape. When testing the tablets, guests reported that they found them fun and engaging to interact with, a useful and informative addition to their experience and that they improved the atmosphere and aesthetics of the capsule.
Furthermore, with the addition of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in each capsule, visitors were more likely to recommend the London Eye to friends and families as a great-value destination.
The highly functional interactive guide enables guests to access key information about the landmarks they can see; all customers need to do is touch the landmark on the screen that they’re interested in or search the name of the landmark to find it.
By doing this they can access key information about 44 famous London landmarks, 24 hour time-lapse photography, 360 degree day and night views from the London Eye and bird’s eye views of some of the key landmarks as well as a unique “look inside” some of the structures for a unique perspective.
