Limited Admission an Option for Parks
“At Major Amusement Parks, Attendance Is Taking a Dip” [Aug. 11] is not all that surprising considering the costs involved for a family. As a couple of senior citizens, we haven’t been to one of these parks in many years and probably will never get there again.
There is a solution that may have been missed. If considering a family of four, it is doubtful that both parents would take in the same number of rides that the kids would. At the same time senior citizens are not too interested in rides but would enjoy the ambience of these parks. We used to go to Disneyland, pay for parking, pay a minimal entry fee, eat our dinner, stick around for the great music, and probably buy some unneeded item on the way home.
With today’s technologies, it should be easy to issue a limited admission. These also could be restricted to slow times for the parks.
