Entry into Carowinds is going high-tech. Next month the park begins testing a new biometric admissions system that will use a 3-D finger scan to admit Season Passhholders.
The first group to try out the new system will be Regular Season Passholders (Passes purchased after May . Platinum Season Passholders will not use the system with 2006 Passes.
The new system eliminates the need for Pass processing visits and waiting in line for Pass photos. The finger scan also speeds up entry time and safeguards Passholders from card theft.
At the turnstile, Passholders will scan a barcode on their Pass and insert the first two fingers on their right hand (like a peace sign) into the terminal. The machine scans the fingers and with a positive match, the Passholder may enter.
The biometric admission system is scheduled for a number of tests this Season with the help of Regular Season Passholders. If the Carowinds system performs as desired, the other Parks plan to install the technology next year.[/quote]
I remember scott mentioning something like this during the tour! Sounds exciting!!
