As far as I know, they were always there although the barcoded version came in at a later date.
I remember going there shortly after it opened in 1988 and having wristbands but don't recall having to let ride operators scan them. I think they were coloured depending on which day it was, but, then again, I may be getting confused with Whitley Bay Leisure Pool which operated a similar system.
