Queues are finally subsiding at Banksy's Dismaland theme park - with just 200 people waiting to enter the attraction before it opened yesterday.
The exhibition, which has been set up at a derelict seaside lido at Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, features migrant boats, Jimmy Savile and an anarchist training camp.
Residents of North Somerset formed long queues outside the entrance - with some camping on the beach overnight - to get a ticket for a special opening on Friday.
The artist gave away 1,000 tickets to local people, which they could receive by exchanging a voucher printed in the Weston Mercury for a wristband.
Doors to the general public opened on Saturday but a desperate scramble for tickets caused the Dismaland website to crash.
Thousands queued up at the site from the early hours of the morning to secure their place in the park, which can hold up to 2,000 people a time.
But this morning the queues had subsided to just 200 people, who waited in early morning rain to buy their £3 tickets from the seafront booth.
A statement on the Dismaland website said visitors would be able to book tickets, free for the under-fives, from tomorrow at 12pm.
"Dismal Tickets Sales," the statement said.
"The on-line ticketing system will be open on Tuesday 25th August from 12 noon at www.dismaland.co.uk when you will be able to purchase tickets for that evening's session (7-11pm) and the next 7 days.
"Thank you for your patience. Entry into the park on Monday is on a walk up basis and cash only.
"Dismaland.co.uk - the UK's most disappointing new website."
Previous visitors to the site have already been cashing in on its popularity, with more than 800 items listed on auction website eBay.
A guardian newspaper guide featuring an interview with the artist sold for £9.50, while an ad space hack kit, featuring a hi-visibility jacket and tool to hack into billboards is selling for £60.
Balloons reading 'I AM AN IMBE-CILE' are on sale, along with a fish finger in a bag - the prize from the Duck in the Muck game - has reached more than £40.
The show, a dark take on theme parks with a nod to Disneyland, has been organised in secrecy for months.
The elusive artist has banned spray paint, marker pens, knives and "legal representatives of the Walt Disney Corporation" from the 2.5-acre Tropicana site.
Visitors enter the theme park, which features work by dozens of artists, through a security check made from cardboard by artist Bill Barminski.
They are greeted with a view of the park and Banksy's fire-ravaged fairytale Cinderella Castle showing "how it feels to be a real princess".
There are boats full of asylum seekers which can be driven round a pond, two juggernauts performing ballet and a camp training guests how to break into bus billboards.
Stewards in matching tabards and Disney-style ears are also part of the exhibition and stare blankly at visitors as they go about their duties.
Banksy described the park as "a festival of art, amusements and entry-level anarchism", adding: "This is an art show for the 99% who'd rather be at Alton Towers."
The Bristol-based artist was inspired to create the park after peeking through a gap in the fence at the Tropicana site in January.
He handpicked the artists featured in the show, who come from across the world including Israel, Palestine, Syria, the US and the UK.
Dismaland will run twice a day from Saturday until September 27 and involve musical performances from Massive Attack, Pussy Riot and Kate Tempest.
