Oh, sorry - i'll speak slower for you.
Too many people in the park, not enough rides operating, not enough rides operating at full capacity, not enough staff to operate the rides effectively, poor operations practices that negatively impact throughput, lack of care and attention to non critical maintenance such as theming, continued removal of guest accessible areas and attractions only to take that space over by more and more back of house areas. And all this despite jacking up their prices and removing perks from loyal long-time premium passholders.
The company has shown utter contempt for guests. At one point their online reviews tanked so hard they disabled the ones they had control over. They responded to guest complaints about their poor experience by telling them they should have checked the website before visiting on a day where the park was offering half their usual experience while still charging full price.
They have ridden for a long time on the coat tails of their former reputation - and despite tanking it, people are still clamouring to hand over their money.
I've been saying this for literally years - if people want them to change, they need to vote with their wallets.
My point is - the Malibu Stacey effect is too strong.
I am interested to see the reviews of the new Scoob - but I won't be rushing out to buy a pass or visit. As Skeet mentioned, if the stunt show proves to be more akin to the MW of old, it might tip the scales to encourage me to return and see what else they've improved. I think the park can be worth the price they're asking (and probably more) but they have to run it putting the guest experience first.
