REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – Starting this summer, Funland in Rehoboth Beach will no longer issue orange tickets for games, a change aimed at reducing waste, labor, dust, and storage requirements. The decision was made by Ian Curry, a grandson of co-founder Al Fasnacht, who, along with his parents and brother, purchased the park in 1962. Curry explained that the move would streamline the redemption process and help eliminate the waste generated by millions of game tickets dispensed each year. Funland has long been dedicated to reducing its environmental impact, even recycling old tickets to be repurposed into toilet paper. The change will introduce a new card system for electronic games like cranes and Skee-ball, with cranes still accepting bills and Skee-ball machines still offering coin mechanisms for quarters. Although Funland will no longer issue game tickets, they will still honor orange tickets from previous seasons. A ticket eater will be available for those wishing to redeem their old tickets. The park will continue using green tickets for rides and cash-only payments for the 11 midway games. Curry emphasized that the ride ticket process will remain unchanged to minimize confusion. Funland’s official opening for the 2025 season will be on Saturday, May 10, marking the start of another summer season of family fun.
