But the rest of the park needs some new attractions too. Refurb and refresh is fine, but it's still just the same old ride you've been going on since you were 7. they need some new drawcards in other areas to spread the love.

Definitely makes sense! my childhood years was visits to the parks every couple of years when we came to Qld on holidays from Sydney. now having lived on the GC for 11 years and visiting a park every week or so, it does dilute the experience, and the enjoyment I get comes from watching my son's excitement every time he meets a character or conquers a new ride. Experiencing it through his eyes is what brings back that nostalgia for me from my childhood visits. In saying that, 90% of my park visits are just myself and my son, so for the time being no thrill rides, so I still get that anticipation every few months when a mate comes up for a visit or we go in a group so I can hit up thrill rides

I have to admit, as much as I love having unlimited entry to all the theme parks, one thing I do miss is the excitement that used to come with visiting them with my parents when I was younger Back then, it wouldn't happen very often, maybe once every couple of years, because entry was expensive for families, year passes even more so -back in the 90's I remember I got my MW one for around $150, and that was a half price deal So it was always a major occasion when it did happen... I'd be up for most of the evening prior because I was too excited to sleep lol. It was pretty much the same feeling you'd get on Christmas eve, then waking up Christmas Day The annual passes and memberships these days are awesome, they are so cheap that almost everyone can afford to have them. I love having all the parks as my second home and being able to visit them whenever I want. They are great boredom busters too, particularly on days when finances aren't the best, you have the day off work, and you don't want to sit bored at home. But yeah, I no longer feel that anticipation and excitement I used to feel because I visit so often. It's been made way too easy now lol. It has taken the initial thrill out of the visit. Does that make sense? Bittersweet, I guess you could say!!
