What?

BT Fresca was selected by Merlin Entertainments Group to supply a self-service interactive kiosk solution for a new ride at Alton Towers, launched in July 2006. This exciting new self-drive attraction is being sponsored by Peugeot.

Partnering with personnel from both Merlin Entertainments Group and Peugeot, we designed and developed the new self service kiosk solution.

Our services included the kiosk user interface creative design, database design and build, and system design and development. Managed hosting services, on-going support, maintenance and remote kiosk monitoring are also part of the scope of this project. The system sever is now hosted at our dedicated suite at the Equinix data centre, Heathrow West London.
