Amusement Park Entrance Control Management

Hundure QR Code Readers Fulfill High Efficiencies of Amusement Park Entrance Control Management

Background

ABC is a well-known amusement park in Vietnam, which currently has 25 attractions ready out of the planned 30 attractions, including a Ferris wheel, roller coasters and VR cinema. The amusement park is one of the major tourist spots which is often accessed by a large amount of visitor flow. Previously, they used the paper-printed entry tickets and checked the ticket validations with manual efforts. In the peak season, visitors had to make a long queue for both purchasing tickets and passing the entrance resulted in lots of complaints. Additionally, they found some of visitors used the fake tickets to enter the park because it was not easy to judge these tickets which were valid or invalid while there were large visitors arriving together. Thus, they had to change the ticket format quite often to prevent visitor’s spoofs. This also caused the ticket cost increases.

In order to give the better experiences to visitors, effective and fast access controls are needed to replace manual works and also reduce waiting times for visitors and ticket fraud issue. QR code reading is an appropriate method that would be quicker no doubt which enables visitors to present proof of purchase. This method was applied to the newly established entrance control system in this amusement park. It can be the high level of convenience and quick access for visitors, as well as a huge work simplification for all staff!
