Abstract

Disclosed a system for managing admission into parks and attractions (25), a guest requests reservations via a kiosk unit (10) or purchase advanced ticket attraction packages via the internet (13) or through the phone. Once the reservations or purchase has been made, the confirmed reservation is printed onto a confirmation ticket (32) or guest card (30) and the data is uploaded into the system. The guest can then take their confirmation ticket (32) or guest card (30) at the appointed time and gain entry into the attraction through a barrier controlled by the controller unit (12). The controller unit (12) reads or scans the guest card and allows guests with advance reservations to gain entry without waiting in long lines. Alternatively, admission to the park is permitted only with advance reservations. As part of the advance reservation, each guests is assigned to menu group, with each menu group provided with assigned times for each attraction in the park.
