Timed entry could spread arrivals across the day by selling places within defined windows. The booking rules need to reflect how long visits last and which resources are shared, rather than assuming every slot has the same capacity.
Operators need controls for opening hours, closed periods, group bookings and late arrivals. Customers should see whether a time is an arrival window or a strict session start. Booking changes must update capacity immediately so released places can be offered correctly.
Test a busy day's arrivals with staff before launch. Include a delayed group, a temporary closure and customers changing dates. Reporting should distinguish tickets sold from people actually admitted, helping the attraction review its operating assumptions without treating a slot schedule as a guarantee that queues will disappear.
