Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom Install PDC Smart Band RFID Wristband

PDC, the global leader of innovative identification solutions, announced today the installation of the PDC Smart Band RFID Wristband and Kiosk System at Cedar Fair's Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, PA. The new program, titled FastPay, enables guests to load funds onto PDC Smart Band wristbands to make instant cashless purchases at any of the 210 point-of-sale terminals throughout both parks.
The newly installed PDC Smart Kiosks are accessed via a touchscreen interface, provided by EuroTouch, the leader in contemporary and high-quality kiosk solutions. Guests can walk up to any kiosk and load money onto a wristband or check their FastPay account balance. Serving as a convenient 'wrist wallet,' FastPay wristbands provide guests with the freedom of secure cashless purchasing at gift shops, restaurants, and food carts – enhancing the guest experience. In addition to wristbands, guests can purchase FastPay gift cards at any of the parks' gift shops.
Smart Band's customized printing options enable Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom to promote its company on the wristband to boost brand awareness. Smart Band's unique design and memorabilia value inspire many guests to keep their FastPay wristbands as souvenirs long after their stay, providing free advertising for the company. The parks offer three types of wristbands – featuring custom FastPay branding – including silicone, thermal, and plastic for both seasonal and single-day passes.
The PDC Smart RFID Wristband Dispensing Kiosk, with custom software developed by KioWare, a legacy player in kiosk software design concepts, can be programmed to perform a wide variety of functions, such as self-service ticketing; fast-pay upgrades; cashless POS; locker and tube rentals; keyless hotel room entry; social media integration; electronic access control; photo management systems; and customer loyalty programs.
