Why Amusement Parks Need To Use QR Codes

Amusement parks are a great way to take a break and have fun in the sun. But amusement parks face challenges regarding increasing traffic and decreasing drop-off rates. One of the biggest issues they have with visitor retention is the lack of QR code technology on their attractions. In this blog, we will discuss why QR codes should be a part of amusement parks.

Why Amusement Parks Need To Use QR Codes

They Provide Information

QR codes are the next step in providing information to the public. QR codes can be used for providing information in parks. The code will be embedded in a sign or a kiosk with a camera that captures the image of the code and records it on a microchip. If a visitor scans the QR code with their smartphone, they'll be able to see what's behind it and get more information about it.


They Can Be Used To Purchase Tickets

QR codes are a hassle-free way to purchase tickets in parks. In the past, visitors would get a paper ticket and then show it to the gatekeeper. This is still an option but increasingly park visitors are using apps or handheld devices to buy tickets from their phones. They are becoming a favorite of park visitors and concession employees. The code is embedded in tickets and passes sold at many national parks and other locations. The codes are often used to make reservations and purchase tickets for attractions.


They Can Be Used To Display Wait Times

QR codes are a convenient method of displaying wait times in parks, and it's easy to create one. For example, when you are at the park, you might want to know how long the line for a particular ride is. By taking a picture of the QR code at the entrance of the attraction with your phone's camera and then scanning it on your phone, you will get immediate results.


Offer Special Giveaways And Exclusive Content

QR codes can be utilized to offer special giveaways and exclusive content in parks. For example, a park may want to give out a free t-shirt or other merchandise to visitors who scan QR codes in certain locations of their park. QR codes can also be used to give out special offers to guests who have already purchased tickets or are planning on purchasing tickets. Some examples would be an offer for free admission if the person scans the QR code at a particular location of the park. You could use a QR code to give away tickets for a concert at a local park. The visitor would scan the code with their phone and get an instant message from you letting them know they won! You can also utilize a QR code to let visitors know about an event that is coming up at your parks, such as a puppet show or film festival.


In summary, amusement parks are an excellent venue to bring QR codes into play. They are easily recognizable by most people and provide a quick way to get information or content, which will make the experience more enjoyable for all involved.
