ORLANDO, Fla. , July 25, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Cygnus eTransactions Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CYGT) today announced that Cygnus has installed self-serve ticketing kiosks at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom, an amusement park in Allentown, Penn. owned and operated by Cedar Fair, L.P.
Dorney Park guests can avoid the lines at the ticket windows by using a credit card to purchase admission tickets at any one of three ceOsk(r) brand self-serve ticketing machines located near the front gates. The new system supplements the online ticketing store that is also operated by Cygnus.
"The ceOsk ticketing system has really proved to be an elegant solution to enhance the guest experience for theme parks right from the very first touch point, the front gate," said Charles Stewart, president of Cygnus.
"Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is looking forward to offering this new technology to our guests. The installation went smoothly and the system is being well-received by our guests," said Heather Kramer, spokesperson for Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom.
