SAN FERNANDO, CA--(Marketwire - August 12, 2007) - Precision Dynamics
Corporation (PDC), a global leader in automatic wristband identification
solutions, announces the successful implementation of its patented Smart
Band® RFID system (Radio Frequency Identification) at Dollywood's Splash
Country Water Adventure Park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Dollywood's Splash Country, a water adventure theme park that combines
the beauty of the Smoky Mountains with the excitement of water park
rides, implemented PDC's RFID Smart Band® Wristband System for daily and
season pass water park guests. Guests use the wristbands just like cash
for cashless point of sale (POS) at all merchandise and food locations
within the park. Introduced to park guests as "Sunny Money," Dollywood's
Splash Country touts Precision Dynamics Smart Band® wristband as the
easiest way 'under the sun' to enjoy dining and shopping.
In sun or shade, wet or dry -- PDC's Smart Band® wristbands work well,
making them a great addition to any water park. Purchasing food and
beverages at Dollywood's Splash Country is as simple as using the Smart
Band® contactless payment feature. Guests walk up to any of the
merchandise or retail locations located throughout the park, and the
money is electronically loaded onto their wristband using cash, credit
or debit cards using POS hospitality and retail applications from MICROS
Systems, Inc. and Island Pacific. Then, Smart Band® wristbands can be
used at all merchandise, food and restaurant locations throughout
Dollywood's Splash Country. All information on the wristband is
encrypted, providing the utmost in security for guests.
"Implementing PDC's RFID system has been perfect for it allows more time
for me to focus on the water park's total guest experience," says Gary
Nichols, Revenue Manager at Dollywood's Splash Country. "More
importantly, our guests and their families love the ease and convenience
of the wristbands. Guests say they don't have to lug around their
wallets, spend time trying to find a place to keep their money safe or
having to wait in long lines. One swipe -- they're done and are free to
enjoy our water rides, get food or buy gifts. And in turn, that helps
increase spending at our water park."
