Exciting Developments in the Amusement Industry: A New Era of Positive Stories

In an effort to shed light on the positive impact of the amusement and gaming industry, Cullis has launched the "Good News Factory" campaign. This initiative aims to highlight uplifting stories that often go unnoticed while reinforcing the contribution of this industry to local communities across Britain.

Shining A Spotlight on Good News

Cullis recognizes the potential to spread joy through various positive stories from venues. Whether it’s a milestone birthday celebration, a heartwarming customer experience such as a marriage proposal, or even notable staff achievements, he encourages operators to share these uplifting anecdotes. The focus is not only on entertainment but also on the human connections formed within these spaces.

Community Engagement and Fundraising

The campaign also emphasizes the importance of fundraising for worthy causes, highlighting stories of venues that have successfully supported community initiatives. By presenting these narratives, the industry can effectively counteract the often gloomy news cycle, showcasing the genuine contributions made to society.

Exciting New Attractions on the Horizon

In addition to personal stories, the industry is poised for thrilling developments with the launch of new attractions. Merlin Entertainments has announced a £70 million investment in North American Legoland Resorts, which includes a space-themed indoor rollercoaster set to open in early 2026. This kind of investment not only enhances visitor experiences but also bolsters local economies through job creation and tourism.

These initiatives, combined with a broader strategy to strengthen media coverage, not only elevate the profile of individual venues but also encapsulate the overall vitality and relevance of the amusement and gaming industry.
