Maine’s largest family-themed water and amusement park, Funtown Splashtown USA’s 500, 000 annual visitors will enjoy an enhanced visitor experience this season with the implementation of Gateway’s flagship point of sale and admission control solution, Galaxy. Visitors will also be able to print both regular and corporate discount passes using Gateway’s eGalaxy Web Store.
The improved guest purchasing experience is essential to the venue’s decision to go with Galaxy according to Funtown Splashtown USA Marketing Manager, Ed Hodgdon: “In the past we have used largely manual ticketing and access control solutions, but we have seen a marked increase in the requests from customers for more electronic means of ticket purchasing. For example, our corporate customers want to be able to go online, enter a discount code and batch order tickets. Galaxy will enable us to do this, and more!”
Gateway’s reputation within the industry and breadth of software solutions was also key for Funtown Splashtown. Hodgdon says, “In the park’s efforts to find the best solution to meet our growing needs, it was clear that Gateway was the most-flexible solution to handle our current needs for the online store, admissions and season passes, and also provide room for growth by integrating retail, food and beverage in the future.”
Gateway Ticketing Systems Business Solution Architect, Steve Bell, is excited to see Gateway partner with Funtown Splashtown USA: “With a culture of being both family run and having a family focus, there is a definitive synergy to our organizations. Funtown Splashtown USA was eager to streamline their operations with an advanced automated solution that would help them provide better service to their guests and corporate customers. We are honored to be a critical part of their vision to be the best facility they can for their guests.”
Gateway Ticketing Systems and its employees are thrilled to welcome Funtown Splashtown USA to the Gateway family and look forward to a long and successful relationship.
