> Why can’t the parks use electronic means?

Right now? Cost to implement and maintain. Who is going to fund it?

Back in the 80s when this story & quote comes from? Money may have been relatively flush then, but the tech was not available (at least not in a form that could be realistically rolled out park-wide) no matter the funds offered.
