Tracking your children by SMS in Legoland

The Legoland theme park in Denmark has launched a wi-fi based kid-tracking system - developed by wireless application firms Bluesoft and KidSpotter - allowing parents to track the location of their children while in the theme park, according to DMEurope.

"Park guests now have the opportunity to rent small AeroScout Wi-Fi Tags with a wristband that the children wear inside the park. If they become separated, parents simply send a text message (SMS) from their mobile phone, and receive an automated response telling them the location of their child. The parents can then find their child according to a map they are provided when renting the tags."

The Aalborg Zoo in Denmark was written up last year as being the world first theme park to launch a tracking system for children, called BlueTags. cf Parents track kids at Danish zoo .
