Just seen on the BBC news that Merlin have made a profit of £770m.
The manager of Merlin will be on BBC1 about 7:40-7:50. I doubt he'll mention the theme parks much but worth watching anyway.
Can't find any news links yet though.
Apparently the reason for record profits is down to the "staycations" during 2010.
More info as I find it.
EDIT: Where better to look than thier website?

Highlights include a 9.7% increase in visitors, 60% increase in Annual Pass sales, capital investment of £101.2m during the year.
