Branded and beyond being the words I like !

This quote from TB to Blooloop illustrates that the future of ACSO extends far beyond "just" theme parks.....



"Speaking to Blooloop, accesso Executive Chairman Tom Burnett said that the significant investment in creating a hardwear device was based on a customer requirement that could not be filled by smartphones: “I absolutely see the demand for a fit-for-purpose device designed for the attractions market.”

Burnet sees potential applications for the device, which can be branded, reaching beyond theme parks into other areas such as cruise liners and ski resorts."

Exactly Glyn. I thought that when Disney were developing their band.

[glyn10] 17/11/2016 16:42

Disney should have used the billion dollars to buy Accesso, would have been a better investment for them !

[from8to800] 17/11/2016 16:26

How does this work, do Accesso sell a certain amount of Prism devices and install whatever technology is needed on site for the system to work and walk away or is there an on going relationship from the moment a deal is signed (with on going revenue being generated from it)?

Nice - looks like 33,730 shares bought at 1600p, i.e around £540,000's worth.

[helpaargh] 17/11/2016 14:35

Really looks the same and does the same so must be Accesso. Tickets available from 15th Nov which ties in with prism product launch.

[helpaargh] 17/11/2016 14:27

Guessing until confirmed.

[panic investor] 17/11/2016 14:07

So what are we saying ? Universal has Accesso tech ?

[sebass] 17/11/2016 10:05

Agree it does look like accesso prism

[spud] 17/11/2016 09:26

I'd be astonished if it wasn't...spud

Hello....I was having a search around and came across this. Universal are opening their Orlando Volcano Bay resort next Spring, and their promo video notes a wearable device called a Tapu Tapu which looks very much like ACSO's new Prism, and seems to do a lot of the same things.

There's a great article about it here, including the video - "the wake up call the theme park industry needs"!

It would be big news to see an expansion of ACSO's presence with Universal....let's hope so anyway:

FWIW... A competitor's wearable device
'
MagicBands are available for $12.95 plus tax online or at select retail locations at Walt Disney World Resort and beyond. However, you will receive a MagicBand at no extra cost if you stay at any of the Disney Resort hotels or if you are a Walt Disney World Passholder
'
MagicBands are colorful, waterproof wristbands—resembling a watch or bracelet—that you can quickly and easily touch to a sensor called a touch point. Cards work in a similar fashion, but physically resemble a plastic credit card or driver’s license.
'
Both MagicBands and cards allow you to travel lighter throughout your vacation.
'
You can use your MagicBand or card to:
• Unlock the door of your Disney Resort hotel room.
• Enter theme and water parks (with valid admission).
• Check in at FastPass+ entrances.
• Connect Disney PhotoPass images to your account.
• Charge food and merchandise purchases to your Disney Resort hotel room (only available during your hotel stay).
• Add a touch of magic to your vacation by unlocking special surprises, personalized just for you, throughout the Walt Disney World Resort!

Looks like a fitness type thing but for theme parks?

I did see some sort of patent renewal on google when I search for Accesso Prism yesterday but cant find it now as so much news on the launch

[spud] 16/11/2016 08:28

The question is, how long before Disney 'copy' this new device and perhaps more importantly, will Accesso turn another blind eye citing flattery.spud

[rivaldo] 16/11/2016 08:10

Good to see ACSO confirm in the interview in post 1847 that the new products will be in parks "next year" - hopefully this will include the Merlin roll-out.

I see that Six Flags announced yesterday they will be opening three theme parks in Saudi Arabia, costing up to $1.5 billion to build....all adding to ACSO's secure revenue streams no doubt:

They don't promise they just get on with it and produce it !Customers must be chuffed to bits

[1001011] 15/11/2016 17:34

In summary, it (Accesso Prism) finally adds payment capabilities and the ability to use as a paperless entrance ticket/hotel key to the existing Qband form factor (plus a few more improvements). Basically this product catches up to and surpasses the capabilities of Disney's MagicBands.
