I love the illustration. Would it be slightly more accurate to say that instead of the required wristband changing color from day to day, that it has a barcode on it that gets scanned when you try to enter? Because everyone entering the park doesn't have the same wristband. They're not comparing your wristband to one expected wristband that every person should have. They're making sure that it matches the record of a paid guest.

Yeah, that would be a better metaphor. Mostly, I was basing my analogy off the last water park I had actually been to, which just uses colored wristbands, and the fact that a five-year-old can understand different colors much better than barcodes and records.
