Ashbourne Visitor Centre โ€” Queue developed to Viking Experience

Ashbourne Visitor Centre

The context of this project is to improve the guest queue experience of one of our most popular attractions, Viking Voyage at the Park, a water flume attraction, which is 6 450 m in size opened in June 2017. Keeping in line with the attraction and itโ€™s theming at present is important. The aim of the project is to tell stories of Viking settlements in Irelandโ€™s Ancient East through engaging our visitors 5 senses: taste, sight, touch, smell, and sound. Through research conducted on visitors to the attraction in 2017, we found that the queue was the key area which needed to improve to ensure guests remained satisfied. During our peak months of visitors (June, July and August) the queue can reach up to 2 hours in length โ€” a plan to break the queue area into a sequence of mini destinations utilising the Viking buildings already in place, making improvements to the buildings, if necessary.
