Water park lets visitors skip lines with wearable kiosk solution

May 31, 2016

Schlitterbahn Waterpark in New Braunfels, Texas, has entered a five-year agreement with Accesso Technology Group PLC for Qband, a wearable virtual queuing solution, according to a press release.

Visitors to the park have the option to buy a Blast Pass, which allows them to use a touch screen kiosk to reserve their spot in line for a ride; an RFID-enabled Blast Pass wristband notifies wearers when their turn comes up, according to a press release.

"We have considered a queuing solution for many years as we evaluated ways to further improve our guest experience," said Darren Hill, general manager of Schlitterbahn New Braunfels. "Our concern has been that the experience for both Blast Pass holders and our guests in line be handled with care. Blast Pass, powered by Accesso, will allow our guests to be able to enjoy more of our park and spend less time standing in line and we look forward to making this new service available this summer."

"Destinations like Schlitterbahn understand their guests want an entertainment experience that maximizes their time in rides and attractions and limits the time they spend actually standing in line," said Accesso CEO Steve Brown. "We're thrilled to partner with Schlitterbahn to provide their guests the Accesso LoQueue virtual queuing technology to enhance their experience in the park."
