much-loved brands to fans in a wholly new immersive, interactive
and engaging way."
Mark Pyrah, CEO at Paragon, said: "We are certainly seeing a
strong demand in the worldwide FEC and Theme Park markets for
branded turnkey attractions and we are delighted to be working with
DHX Brands who are allowing us access to some of the most important
children's brands in the world. With our talent for creating
world-class attractions I'm really looking forward to exploring how
we can bring the digital and physical together in brilliant new
ways of engagement. Our teams are already hard at work and
immersing themselves in this incredible content."
'These enduring properties from the DHX stable are perfect for
family attractions', said Tom Roe, Commercial Director at DHX
