Alvarado provides admission control and patron flow solutions for theme parks, tourist attractions and other amusement venues.

FACILITY ENTRY / ADMISSION CONTROL
Alvarado has created partnerships and integrated our products with various ticketing technology providers. Our ticket validation systems scan millions of tickets every year, and are used by a number of highly regarded amusement venues.

Our SQL-powered GateLink Validation software communicates in real-time with Alvarado ticket scanning hardware and works with most any ticket system or service.

Alvarado’s new VHA ticket scanning head mounts to the top of a turnstile, or can be affixed to a wall or stanchion, and is available with wired or wireless Ethernet communication. The VHA can scan traditional bar coded tickets, print-at-home tickets, bar coded wristbands, and cell phone bar codes.

Our PocketGate handheld scanners are a proven solution for facilities that require the flexibility of wireless scanning.

Alvarado’s full line of innovative ticket scanning devices also includes our EDCX-SC and EDCX-SCP turnstiles. Available features include built in color patron TFT display, bar code/ magnetic-stripe readers, plus ticket and coupon printing capabilities. Wired or wireless Ethernet, plus battery powered portable operation are also available.

PATRON COUNTING
Alvarado offers a number of options for accurate patron counts, including barrier free optical counting turnstiles. Lithium battery powered counters may be added to these or any of our waist high security turnstiles, providing years of trouble free operation for counting/access control applications.

For computerized counting, our GateWatch software works with Alvarado patron counting turnstiles such as our EDC, SLT and SU500 models. It can be used as a stand-alone counting solution, or may be used in conjunction with Alvarado ticket scanning devices and GateLink software.

PARKING FACILITIES - VEHICLE COUNTING
Alvarado's ParkWatch vehicle counting system is designed for large parking facilities. ParkWatch software monitors vehicle passage through entry/exit points and allows onscreen and printed reports and analysis.

LINE MANAGEMENT / PATRON QUEUING
Alvarado’s pedestrian queuing products may be used at ticket windows, concessions and customer service areas. From modular post & rail systems to retractable belt stanchions, Alvarado’s queuing solutions are a cost effective way to ensure smooth patron flow.
