I thought about Camden, too. It was my first amusement park, probably late 50’s and then through the 60’s. Admission was 10 cents. And you had to have an actual dime in your pocket as it was inserted into a slot in the turnstile to make it turn, subway-style. Inside the park, ticket booths sold strips of tickets and each ride cost a certain number of tickets.
Honestly, it wasn’t a bad system. The admission fee likely kept riff raff away and probably paid for a new load of gravel for the parking lot every spring. Then visitors had the choice of whether to participate in riding as little or as much as they wanted to afford, which has long been a complaint of POP detractors.
Touchdown:
Diamond and Diamond Elite are the old legacy memberships, and I believe the Haunted Passes have always been a perk. That doesn’t sound like anything new.
Yep and those products are no longer available. It's only those who have them from when they were available that get this and there is talk of how much longer will the chain support those passes before forcing the plans to end.
They are looking to be eventually going to the Cedar Fair pass model with less options of passes but with pay in full or EZ-pay to purchase.
