I agree with most of your post. I will say the one thing that I find different with Disney fandom is how much they dismiss other theme parks that aren't Disney.Where as in other fandoms they may not like similar products but will respect them.

To go off of that, I can understand the love of Disney and the parks. But what I have never understood is why many Disney Adults don't like other theme parks at all? That was the big discussion in that video is how Disney Adults are Disney fans only and aren't theme park fans.

IMO that is fact. A Disney Adult is someone who lives and breaths the Disney parks, and has no interest in other theme parks

That would make you a theme park fan. A Disney Adult cares only for Disney and has no interest in other parks.

From watching the video, the one thing that stood out was how most Disney Adults view other theme parks including some Disney ones. One example in the video is how some Disney Adults hate Disney Sea due to the lack of IP attractions. For many Disney Adults, they aren't theme park fans at all...

That is one thing that I find odd. Disney and Universal have raised their prices a lot. The parks a tier below like Dollywood, Cedar Point and Hershey have mostly seen a little raise in price compared to 2020. A good example is the Cedar Point hotel. It's gone up maybe $50 a night since 2022...

I'm not at all. Back in their last conference call they mentioned they wanted to sell off parks that were not profitable or not have growth potential

There is lots to do. There is City Walk, the resorts are worth spending time at. There is still lots of attractions that aren't thrill rides at Universal as well.

IMO those on charge knew it would take awhile to improve these parks. I think they hoped with even little things to start would help. Like adding a Chaperone policy, improving food and the landscaping would help. Add in the cheap season passes with access to all parks. It did nothing to change...

As of now the purchase of Georgia looks bad. When it happened I thought it was a good idea. Cedar Fair always wanted parks in large metro areas and finally got the Atlanta, N.Y. and Texas markets. From everything that's been out there, IMO they didn't realize the shape of the Six Flags parks...

I hope that park works out. Cause a lot of the parks over there struggle with attendance. I grew up during the coaster wars and it's what got me into riding coasters across the country. I wish we could go back to those days. Bigger, Taller, Faster is the best part of coasters. Unfortunately...

They definitely don't go out of their way to increase attendance much. They do the odd Florida ticket deal but you never see deals like Universal did with their buy 2 days get 2 days free.

Things do change your right. For how parks are run they haven't changed at all. Disney is the outlier in that they suppress attendance. Even Universal wants high attendance.

It's not dead but it's not busy either no matter how much many of you want to spin it.

It's not empty but they are also far from full. It's not walk oms but it's not crowded either. It's in the middle. Personally I would rather heavily crowded parks with 2019 prices then the high prices today and lower crowds.
