Legoland in Günzburg, Germany is opening an eight-lane bowling centre as a step in its €80m diversification from amusement park to resort. The centre will be open to the general public as well as Legoland visitors.

IMA, the January amusement and vending trade show in Dusseldorf, says that nearly all bowling exhibitors from the last expo will return to its dedicated bowling area in 2012.

According to organisers, the increasing integration of bowling centres and amusement arcades gives IMA the potential to be a fruitful source of crossover deals.
