Having grown up near Disneyland in California, I vaguely remember that system. I don't remember when they stopped using it and just went to a flat entrance fee, but I'd guess early 80's?Quote:

Eventually Disney got smart and starting charging one flat, exhorbitant fee
to enter the park and take in the sights and rides.
To say what level a ride/event is - is a commentary on the quality/fun associated with it. :-)
I remember the ride tickets, I was young, 41 now, but i remember thinking how stupid it was. I had been to Astroworld by then and it was flat rate there!
Go ahead and bring the family lots of people were in the swim area last weekend.Quote:
