This is quite commonly done in many places, but it usually does nothing against tourists crowding out locals and once operators notice they can raise prices a lot without much difference in visitor numbers, things tend to get more expensive for everyone.

My counterpoint is even if it doesn't reduce crowds, at least the parks will be making 20x more revenue, so they can improve infrastructure to handle the crowds.
