November 13, 2007 - Precision Dynamics Corporation (PDC), the global leader in automatic wristband identification, is implementing its Smart Band® RFID Wristband System at KeyLime Cove Water Resort, Gurnee, Illinois in what will be the first completely cashless waterpark in the USA.
Scheduled to be completed in late February 2008, KeyLime Cove Water Resort will feature 414 Hotel Suites, a 64,500 square foot waterpark and 12,000 square feet of meeting space. PDC announces that its Smart Band® RFID Wristband System will consist of PDC Smart Kiosks® (with a touch-screen monitor that allows parents to deposit money into pre-funded children’s accounts by utilizing cash, credit cards or existing room credit), PDC Smart SuperBand® Wristbands as well as third party software and hardware at the venue.
“KeyLime Cove Water Resort will be the convenient year round family getaway destination in Illinois,” said Robin Barber, Vice President of Advanced Marketing & Technology (AMAT) at PDC. “PDC’s role includes RFID consulting and RFID project management services to KeyLime Cove Water Resort making this facility completely cashless. With the Smart Band® RFID system, KeyLime Cove Water Resort patrons will not have to worry about carrying their keys or losing money. Also, there is the added security of families being able to pre-fund and monitor their children’s purchases. It’s secure, easy to use, and increases park spending. PDC’s Smart Band® RFID System provides convenience for both park owners and patrons alike. ”
“The implementation of the RFID wristband system will provide our guests with an exceptional level of ease and convenience,” said Rick Warmouth, KeyLime Cove Water Resort Assistant General Manager and Director of Operations. “We are very excited to be able to offer this state-of-the-art technology at America’s newest and most exciting indoor water resort.”
PDC, working along with the following third party software and hardware partners, will complete the process of creating KeyLime Cove Water Resort as the first totally cashless waterpark attraction. These RFID applications will provide KeyLime Cove Water Resort and its patrons with automated cashless point-of-sale (POS), keyless entry to hotel rooms and lockers, cashless vending, digital photography, and cashless spending in the arcade using RFID enabled token machines.
