Wildlife Sydney Zoo the series?

New deal for global tourist attractions to be developed into original entertainment programs.

Could Wildlife Sydney Zoo at Darling Harbour be in line for its own documentary… or even a reality or game show?

Or what about Sea Life Aquariums in Sydney & Melbourne….Illawarra Fly or Otway Fly ziplines?

They are all owned by Merlin Entertainment which has signed a deal with Wheelhouse to develop “original entertainment” programs inspired by the company’s various global attractions.

Merlin owns over 140 attractions across 23 countries, more landmarks than any other entertainment destinations company. They include the London Eye, Sea Life, plus Alton Towers, Chessington’s World of Adventures and Warwick Castle.

In Melbourne it also includes Legoland Discovery at Chadstone.

The companies said the programs developed would “span a diverse range of genres, including reality, documentary and game show.”

Merlin CEO Scott O’Neil said, “Through creative innovation and storytelling, our partnership with Wheelhouse will allow us to bring a new dimension to our stories, characters and IP on the largest platforms in the world: TV and entertainment programming. Wheelhouse understands and loves our brands as much as we do, and our partnership will help to create entertaining TV programmes that spotlight our diversity of experiences to iconic landmarks.”
