Why do we not implement the new technology in saturated/more mature markets?
• Prevent cannibalisation in existing markets • Existing infrastructure is not made for it – requires
overhaul that requires stopping original shows
Why multi sensory entertainment makes sense?• Aligned with your creative direction: Onedrop
foundation• We live in an experience economy – this is what
your consumers will want • New media is a current trend
In the event that the partnership does not work out
• Other available partners (Eg: institution in Nottingham institution)
• Governmental organisations are interested in such technology – gov support (eg: Singapore)
• Emergence of research labs conducting the relevant research

How is it possible in London now? • Other available partners (Eg: institution in
Nottingham institution)• Governmental organisations are interested in such
technology – gov support (eg: Singapore) • Emergence of research labs conducting the
relevant research
Completely phase out big top eventually• Big top restricts creativity• Beyond the normadic roots (known for creativity)
• 35 other big scale shows on the Vegas Strip very competitive
• We have 7 resident shows on in Vegas cannibalisation
• Ex CdS employee Franco Dragone has a similar show just next door (Le Reve- aquatic show)
• Explore new markets that are less competitive
