Your park needs online booking, digital waivers, walk-in POS, and birthday party management. Aluvii offers all of that but with a complex setup and dated UX. FareHarbor handles online booking well but charges commission on every ticket and has no walk-in POS. wakesys gives you everything (pre-arrival waivers, group claim links, iPad POS, and a mobile-first booking flow) without commission fees or legacy complexity.

Why operators choose wakesys over Aluvii & FareHarbor
Real reasons from real park operators who made the switch.
Waivers before arrival, not at the door
Aluvii has waivers but they're a separate workflow. FareHarbor uses third-party integrations. wakesys integrates waivers directly into the booking flow. Guests sign at home, on their phone.
Birthday parties that run themselves
Host books, shares a claim link. Each parent claims tickets and signs waivers independently. Neither Aluvii nor FareHarbor has an equivalent group claim workflow.
One-tap check-in with waiver status
Staff see green (ready) or red (waiver missing) on the manifest. One tap to check in. Aluvii has a dashboard but no visual waiver status. FareHarbor has no check-in system.
60-second mobile booking
Built for phones with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Aluvii's booking was designed for desktop. FareHarbor's mobile flow works but adds commission to every transaction.
Free for 2026, cost confirmed in writing after
FareHarbor charges 6% per booking (or passes it to guests). Aluvii charges custom enterprise pricing. wakesys is free for all of 2026, then affordable flat-rate pricing.
Built by park operators
We run activity parks ourselves. Aluvii was built for large amusement venues. FareHarbor was built for tour operators. wakesys was built for mid-market parks that need simplicity and speed.
What sets wakesys apart
Features you won't find anywhere else.
Integrated Pre-Arrival Waivers
The feature that changes everything. Guests sign waivers during booking, at home. Group organizers share a claim link and every parent signs independently. Aluvii's waivers are a separate step. FareHarbor relies on third-party waiver tools like Smartwaiver.
Group Claim Links
Birthday parties, corporate events, school groups: the host books, shares a link, and each person claims their spot and signs their waiver. Real-time status shows who's ready. Unique to wakesys.
Walk-In POS Included
Handle walk-ins from the same iPad. Sell tickets, process waivers on-site, check in guests. FareHarbor has no walk-in POS. Aluvii has POS but it's part of a complex, enterprise-oriented system.
Modern UX, Built for Today
Aluvii's interface was built years ago. FareHarbor's focus is on their marketplace, not your operations. wakesys was built in 2023 with a modern stack, designed for speed and simplicity.
