Duke,
The system worked great and inbetween our ticket#s popping up we would run our sponsors ads so selling sponsorship was really easy,landed us Pepsi, Frito lays, and Papa Johns from it.
Keep in mind our midway was big enough to house a huge crowd but back then we had building to spare at 70,000 square feet,haunt taking up 50,000 of it and the rest was midway with a seperate area for rock bands to play.
(which they played for free, they begged us to play after they saw the stage we built,complete with Fog,lasers and a couple of air cannons underneath to blast the crowd with! Talk about skirts flying up!)
During the off season they actually payed us to rent our building for big concerts, we provided security was a must to protect our haunt of course but it worked really well and we had income coming in every month.
I have never seen this type of system until our place, i have to give Randy Daniels credit for implementing it. At first we all wondered if it wold work but the crowd was much more managable. Our worst complaint was it was to hot! If you even want to call that a complaint.
We only needed a few midway actors so more could man the actual house itself.
Bad points if we did it again was we would not make the VIP room part of the midway, people watching people eating free pizza really p!ssed them off!
Other than that i have to say as a manager and line actor i Loved it!
