The growing network of Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Parks is based on the hit television show. Featuring a mix of adrenalin-fuelled TV show-style courses and inflatable runs inspired by the family favorite program, guests have the chance to tackle the obstacles just like they have seen on screen. The adventure parks allow for cost-effective fun for families and children while promoting physical health through exercise. At this time, there are currently 17 Ninja Warrior UK adventure parks across England, Scotland, and Wales, with further venues planned to open during the next year.
When guests visit Ninja Warrior UK, they can purchase entry for a 60-minute or two-hour session, along with additional options to save during evening hours and great offers available for children. Guests can also purchase gift cards or book birthday parties, all through the official website.
ROLLER is an essential tool in forecasting for the next month, or quarter. It gives us great insights and data for analysis

Powerful reporting
Before switching to ROLLER, reconciling numbers took a lot of work because it was challenging to differentiate guests who booked in advance from those who paid cash upon arrival. This led to significant amounts of manual labor that would tie up their staff, along with concerns about the accuracy of the data that was ultimately reported.
“The fact that I can understand and work with ROLLER with such confidence and ease is a great credit to it as a platform.” Ian France, Commercial Manager for ITV Studios, shares how easy it is to use ROLLER’s reporting to understand how the business performs across all 17 parks. “I use ROLLER every day. I’m looking at figures and historical analysis and looking ahead at bookings for a particular month, and in turn, it really is an essential tool in forecasting for the next month or quarter. It's a platform that I find easy to use and gives us great insights and data for analysis,” says Ian.
Ninja Warrior has used ROLLER’s powerful reporting to track essential milestones in their growth journey – they recently surpassed over three million bookings through ROLLER in just four years!
Increased revenue potential
In addition to business intelligence that allows Ninja Warrior UK to monitor performance, ROLLER’s platform has also enabled Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Parks to increase revenue through upsells and cross-sells. For example, when guests are booking a visit to the park, they can also pre-purchase merchandise such as a sweatband, headband, or branded socks to be worn during their visit. “ROLLER enables venue operators to sell more merchandise,” says Ian.
Ian also stresses that ROLLER’s support team is incredibly responsive, and any back-end issues are rectified immediately. “We have no hesitation in recommending ROLLER as a very reliable, easy-to-use platform.”
