Tickets and Passes
In the earlier days of the park's operations, each attraction had its own ticket booth, but later on, tickets could generally be purchased for most of the other attractions at any one of these booths.
In the waning years of its operation, general admission, whole park passes were issued at a single booth located at ther park's main entrance, which was at the sidewalk, near the area of the entry to the Skyrocket. These passes consisted of a colored string, fastened around the wrist of the patron with a small metal clasp, and at one time were sold for the now incredible price of a single dollar. Initially, these passes were good for entry into all of the rides in the park, excepting the Skyrocket, but near the very end of operations, entry to that ride was included as well.
