Interesting case Alex didn't mention: Disneyland *used* to have a
version of peak pricing, but got rid of it.  There were not "go to the
head of the line" passes.  But it used to be that rides were graded from
best to worst, and you needed corresponding tickets.  The Matterhorn, if
I recall correctly, was an E ticket - the most valuable.  If you wanted
a bunch of E tickets, you could buy them for extra cash.

I wonder what happened to lines.  Clearly there were some administrative
cost savings from having a single ticket, but I would think that
congestion at the best rides got worse.  Anyone old enough to remember?
