NEW WAY TO RIDE & PLAY

New this year, our carnival provider, Butler Amusements, will have kiosks where you can purchase reloadable wristbands. Kiosks accept Cash, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Union Pay.

At each kiosk, you can choose the following options:

REDEEM YOUR PRE-PURCHASED UNLIMITED RIDE WRISTBAND
Using the tablet, scan the QR code/ Barcode from your carnival advance sale ticket. You are then given the option to purchase tickets to play games. The system prints a physical wristband, you attach it to your wrist, and you are ready to ride!

PURCHASE AN UNLIMITED RIDE WRISTBAND
Select on tablet how many unlimited ride wristbands you would like, and if you want to add on any additional tickets to play games. Then each wristband is printed, and you attach it to your wrist. On-site purchases are subject to additional service fees.

PURCHASE RIDE/GAME TICKETS
Don’t want to go Unlimited? You have the option to only purchase ride/game tickets. Use the tablet to choose how many tickets you would like, and a wristband is printed with those tickets loaded onto it. On-site purchases are subject to additional service fees.

Not clear on how to purchase or redeem? That’s okay! We will have a Ticket Ambassadors available at each station where there are multiple kiosks, and they can assist you with the system.

We also have stand-alone kiosks strategically placed around the carnival area where you can check your balance and add more tickets to your wristbands.
