Why would a theme park do this? Does the government supply a terrorist-fingerprint database?
I would understand if a private company does ID and (maybe) fingerprint checking for visitors of their research facilities. I had this a few times, although most of the time they maybe write down your name and address and thats it. The only facility that took it really serious was the ESA tech-center in Noordwijk (not to be confused with the little theme park they have near by). They needed passport-numbers beforehand, those passport scanning keyboards they have at airports, the software on the pc also looked similar and guards openly carrying big guns (you seldom see that in Europe). But well, its a space research complex there is probably a ton of military secrets around.
But at the admission for a F'kin theme-park... Why?
