Been reading up comments today as had a rather full week, closure of Windsor(Legoland) seems to have been a muted event having no effect on SP. Great offer on free kids hotels take advantage all those with youngsters on here while you can. Spring seems too have sprung, been in Norfolk all day and passed a great place that specialises in Lego models based near Thetford Forest if I had time i would of called in as son desperate for Lego Simpsons new models.
Kids Go FREE when you stay at a hotel near LEGOLAND in 2014 on selected dates. Book your LEGOLAND family getaway today to get this great deal and explore the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort for less.
Good finish to the week....:)

Beaufort Securities Our view: Merlin Entertainments’s admission into AIM last year has greatly propelled its growth and expansion plans. With encouraging revenue, profit and visitors numbers, Merlin seems to have made most of the additional funding procured through the listing. Merlin runs popular attractions like the Legoland Windsor and Madam Tussauds in 22 countries across four continents and is the second largest branded theme park operator in the world after Disney. The company is successfully progressing towards achieving its long-term objective of geographical business diversity across Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific, thus minimising overall risk. A strong pipeline of new business opportunities, high entry barriers for prospective competitors and an effective think-tank presents bright growth prospects for Merlin. We maintain a Buy.
Lot's of small sells today....low volume..
Looks like it just about meets analyst expectations so I'm not expecting a massive rise today unfortunately
Out today, all looks very good i expect a small rise in SP today. Happy reading :)

I agree BL. good sentiment too with Spring approaching and the rains ceasing.
This will push 390p by start of next week, in line with the general broker consensus of 393p.
lucky beggars..
More endorsements for this fab new movie on MSN with it being classed as one of the best toy movies ever. I also like the link to David Beckham stating that he takes tension out by building Lego models with the brood. Take them to Legoland in the Summer Dave & Vicky and get lots of press there, we want all the publicity possible. Oh yeah after that you can do Chessington /Tussauds etc.
Reiterate a buy signal 415.00
Today's i paper has a small comment from Labour MP Tom Watson who tweeted to his 130,000 followers, 'Lego movie work of genius' as he watched yesterday's premiere. Lets hope some this movie magic can be installed at the Legoland theme Parks.
