Oooh, Wi-Fi! Finally!
This is awesome! On a day out with friends & family, I can now spend all my time on Facebook & Twitter - YAY! It just goes to show how times change!
But in all seriousness, this IS awesome news!
As much as they are trying to maximise profits, I doubt they would charge for Wi-Fi as hardly anyone would buy it, would they?
Especially as giving out free Wi-Fi gives them free advertising, it would be silly not to!
Plus, the stereotypical guest on park doesn't complain that much, as they don't really notice the changes as much as we, the geeks do. They just see it as a very fun day out - maybe a little over-priced! However we have seen the changes so we can see how stupid the money saving issues get!
And if they do have a bad day, say all the rides break down, or there is a park wide power cut of some sort, they might prepare themselves better and because of that, lots of positive feedback for the fan pages (Like the beginning of the year - FREE FAST TRACKS!)
As for interactivity and apps!
As Mags said, There are endless possibilities for this! Pure genius!
- People can give their views on things as they go around on park about anything! Rides, The queue times, food restaurants (If any are open), the shows, hotels, waterpark and lots more
- Queue times for restaurants
- How to make the most of your day - When to buy & use your fast tracks
- Duel leaderboards for the hour/day/month/season/all time
- Photo Galleries, upload photos of you having a great time at Towers
- Deals and Offers for completing things
- Heck, even live interviews with Dean about how he got his annual pass
My brain isn't that creative atm, it's late - But there are SO MANY ideas that Towers could utilize for their benefit! If done correctly of course!
