Commenting, Iain Hawkins, Merlin Entertainments’ Head of Blackpool Cluster said: ‘ We are very excited about Madame Tussauds, Blackpool. It is quite different from anything Madame Tussauds’ has done before and will be full of surprises, and new figures never seen before, and so high quality that visitors will certainly do a double take. The great thing about Madame Tussauds is that there are no ropes or barriers so it is easy to get up close and personal with your heroes. In fact there is many a photograph in pride of place in homes around the world that owes a lot to the Madame Tussauds magic! ‘.
