ABSTRACT:
A computerized theme park information system that encompasses the operational premises of that theme park and its visiting guest population so as to automatically process and issue a multi-service guest card, control and monitor admission, perform value-added manipulation of the guest card's contents and to analyze the visitor's buying behavior. The multi-service guest cards are realized by smart debit card technology and, at issuance, have the ability to partition the total monetary amount of the debit card among a plurality of categories of prepaid Theme Park goods and services offered at various point-of-sale locations in the Park. Biometric identification of card holders can optionally be encoded on the smart cards upon issuance and can be verified at various point-of-sale locations within the Park confines upon smart-card purchase of goods and services.
