Queue management and systems provider Lo-Q expects its results for 2008 to be ahead of market expectations.

Announcing its trading statement for the full-year to 31 December 2008 the company's chair, Jeff McManus, said it had so far signed contracts with 13 parks to use its VQ2020 queue management system.

McMAnus added: "We are looking to add further parks to our portfolio during the year, some of which it is hoped will be added before the start of the main trading season for theme parks located in the northern hemisphere."

Theme parks that installed the Q-bot system during the year included Legoland Windsor in the UK and Dreamworld in Australia.
