Funland is an amusement park in southern California. Due to competition from other amusement parks in the area, Funland changed some of its business processes; descriptions of the old and new processes follow.
Old process. Guests drove to the park and paid a flat fee of $20 per car for parking. After walking to the front gate, guests purchased park tickets ($50 each) . They passed through a turnstile where a Funland employee punched a hole in the ticket to indicate it had been used, after which they were free to enjoy the park until closing.
New process. Guests must purchase parking passes online or at a Funland retail store; they are not sold at the park. They may purchase tickets online, but those are also sold at the park for a higher price. Guests arrive at the park where they scan their parking passes, causing an automated gate arm to lift and allow them to enter. A Funland employee monitors the parking entrance via a remote camera. After taking a tram to the park's front gate, guests with pre-purchased tickets go directly to a turnstile, where a Funland employee scans the ticket. Guests who purchase tickets at the park must have the ticket punched, as in the old process.
