neon, a global experience entertainment company, is celebrating Jurassic World: The Exhibition being crowned winner of the Best Visitor Experience 2022 category at the recent Access All Areas Conference & Awards.
The inaugural accolade celebration was held at multi-arts space EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney) on 12 January 2023, celebrating the achievements of major live events throughout the UK. Across a range of categories including culture, sports, and music, the awards signified the upcoming challenges and opportunities of the industry whilst recognising the industry success stories of 2022.
Beating tough competition
Jurassic World: The Exhibition, is produced by NEON, formerly Cityneon, in conjunction with Universal Live Entertainment, a division of Universal Parks & Resorts.
The attraction which was nominated along with events such as the Isle of Wight Festival, BST Hyde Park, and Westival, took home the award after an impressive run at the ExCeL London, where it outperformed all other experiences with over 315,000 ticket sales.
The enthralling 20,000-square-foot experience, which debuted in August 2022, includes breathtaking scenarios drawn from the popular blockbuster franchise and has been one of London’s fastest-selling attractions to date.
“To build, launch and sell 315,000 tickets in less than six months is a testament to the incredible focus and effort from all our teams. It has been a whirlwind period and we are honoured to win this award on behalf of everyone who worked on and was involved with the project,” says a representative of FKP Scorpio Entertainment and The Luna Cinema.
Celebrating industry success
Attendees celebrated with a drinks reception and awards ceremony to honour the accomplishments of the finest event producers, promoters, and personalities around the UK. Among the many awards given out were those for Diversity and Inclusion, Unsung Hero, and Event Promoter of the Year.
neon adds: “Jurassic World: The Exhibition continues to make waves globally in 2023 and beyond! Thanks to the phenomenal support from our friends and fans in London, Jurassic World: The Exhibition extended its engagement in London to 16 January 2023 and took the throne of the longest-running in-hall event at ExCeL London!”
By immersing audiences of all ages in locations inspired by the groundbreaking film series from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, Jurassic World: The Exhibition forges will remain open until 16 April 2023 in San Diego, California, and will soon announce several new openings abroad.
neon also recently opened Avatar: the Experience in Singapore, which celebrates the highest-grossing film of all time with a limited-time experience.
