What matters in practice
In a real park, only one tariff is almost never enough. A typical pricing structure is built as a combination of a base per-set tariff or adaptive set tariff, day tariffs such as unlimited day, morning, evening, weekday offers, a seasonal tariff, and additional services.
Per-set tariff
This is the basic and most familiar option for a reverse cable. Every set has a fixed price, and the client pays for each separate ride.
Typical examples
- Weekday set
- Weekend set
- Morning set
- Evening set
- Weekday training set
Why parks use it
It works well when the park follows a classic live queue logic and the easiest thing for the client to understand is the price of one set.
Adaptive set
This is the same as a regular set tariff, but with decreasing prices. For example, the price can be configured like this: 1st set: 1000 RUB, 2nd set: 800 RUB, 3rd set: 600 RUB, and every next set after that: 500 RUB. This format helps keep the client riding longer within one riding day or session.
Examples
- Evening adaptive tariff
- Weekday adaptive tariff
When to choose it
When you want to encourage the client to ride more within one session by gradually lowering the price of each next set.
Day and package tariff
This is a flexible format for reverse cables. A day tariff works without counting the number of sets, while a package tariff uses the same logic but with a limit on the maximum number of sets. Morning, evening, and weekday offers usually live here.
What can be created
- Weekday morning slot
- Friday evening slot
- Weekend full day
- 3-set package
- 5-set package
Why it is useful
This type lets the park combine schedule windows, weekdays, and maximum set counts in one clear pricing structure.
Set duration override
This option applies to per-set and day tariffs. The system can set a longer set duration when the standard time is not enough. For example, a regular set may be 5 minutes, while a coached set may last 10 or 15 minutes.
Changing a tariff with price recalculation
If the client has already started riding and wants to switch formats, the tariff can be recalculated. For example, a client may start with a 2-set tariff, enjoy the session, and then upgrade to a full day. The system can recalculate the price in both directions between per-set and day tariffs.
Seasonal tariff
The seasonal model covers longer riding formats: a season pass, a monthly pass, or a limited number of riding days within a defined time window. The same approach works for both reverse and full-size cables.
Examples
- Season pass from May to September
- 30-day or 60-day membership
- 5 riding days out of 10
- 10 riding days out of 30
Best fit
Regular clients, club programs, camps, training camps, and any long-format setup where the park sells extended access instead of a single set or one day.
Camp and training option
Camp participation does not have to be a separate tariff. It can be an additional option applied to the most suitable seasonal tariff.
Tariff for a full-size cable
In this format, the client buys minutes, hours, or a defined time slot on the full-size cable.
Common offers
- 60 minutes
- 2 hours of riding
- Morning slot
- Full day
Operator tariff
The operator tariff is used to track internal and staff sessions. It can also limit the maximum number of sets per day.
Additional services and promo options
Tariffs can be reinforced with add-on sales and special offers. This matters for parks that earn not only from riding itself, but also from rentals, training, and upsells.
Additional services
- Wetsuit rental
- Wakeboard rental
- Helmet and vest
- Private coaching
- Ride filming
Promo options
- First set for free
- Intro morning offer for new riders
- Discounted trial slot on the ring cable
- Limit on how many times one rider can use the offer
Manually activated service
A useful training scenario is a service that can be added to the client session in advance and activated manually at the right moment. The operator can trigger it with a triple press on the reader button, and the special run can use an overridden set duration, for example for a training ride or for teaching a specific trick.
