Conlan Barton asked 1 year ago I'm working on a marketing project and I need to estimate the cost for an installation of RFID wristband payment methods and check-in stations for said wristbands at rides that can automatically hold a place in that line. The amusement park in question is Canobie Lake Park, in Salem, N.H., and I was wondering how much an estimate on an installation of RFID scanners on the total amount of rides, restaurants and private food trucks around the park would theoretically be.

Conlan,
As you might imagine, prices will vary a lot based on the technology provider, the volume of stations and wristbands used, and the kind of data management you opt for. I spoke with provider GoTab, which says a basic, public-facing display and payment terminal using RFID would average $1,000. Wristbands typically can cost about $1 or less apiece. The cost of an RFID reader used for a check-in station type of device can be quite low, but the software that manages the data will vary widely. These solutions are often provided as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.
