Disney taking Prints

Saturday, Jul. 16 2005 | Author: Dave

Tourists visiting Disney theme parks in Central Florida must now provide their index and middle fingers to be scanned before entering the front gates.

The scans were formerly for season pass holders but now everyone must provide their fingers. They have reportedly been phased in for all ticket holders during the past six months, according to a report.

Disney officials said the scans help keep track of who is using legitimate tickets.

“It is technology reminiscent of “Mission Impossible” or “James Bond,” Local 6 News reporter Jessica Sanchez said. “It works by scanning the ridges and structure of your index finger and middle finger called your finger geometry.”

Universal Orlando and SeaWorld also plan to implement similar technology in the future.

Disney taking “Hollywood-Style” measures to ensure that people are not cheating their way out of giving them money. They should worry about getting magical titles off and not living off leeching the few things they have that bring them money.

You are so right. The technology alone was probably as much as they had to spend making their last movie. I think Disney needs to start worrying a bit more. Great comment!

I still want to go to Disney World. It was my dream when I was a small child and I’ve still never been.

I’d make that dream come true very soon, in a few months they’ll probably start taking blood out or just chop your finger entirely.

Guess that settles it. Me and my family will never be going to Disney World. Now, if the US would just hurry up and instigate fingerprinting at the border, I could write off the whole damn country.

Have you seen this before? It’s a number guessing game: http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/guessthenumber.html. I guessed 34355, and it got it right! Pretty neat.
