Charging per ride/attraction seems to be the norm in Japan, too: I remember Expoland in Osaka (now closed after a bad coaster derailment) did this. I can't remember if they also charged any entrance fee, but it's not unheard of to charge for access to green spaces like parks and botanical gardens, so they may have. (It was built on the site of Expo '70, so it incorporated some nice parkland for folks to enjoy.) Charging per ride struck this American youth as odd at the time, but it makes sense: you only pay for as many rides as you want to experience.
