Splish Splash will only
accept credit, debit or mobile payments beginning May 28, the start of the water
park’s 2022 season.
For those with cash
only, there will be kiosks inside the park where guests can put as much as $500
on a prepaid card. It can be used throughout the park, and any leftover money
can be used at any location that accepts MasterCard.
According to Splish
Splash, the switch will allow for “a smoother and safer experience for guests.”
“Not having to handle
cash will speed up Splish Splash operations, especially in food and retail
shops,” said Mike Bengtson, general manager of the park, in prepared remarks.
The development could
mean the end to the fluorescent waterproof cylinder money holders
that guests have been bringing to Splish Splash since it opened in 1991.
The park currently has
20 slides and attractions, two wave pools, several kiddie areas and the famed
Lazy River.
