Guests can't even figure out which company has Harry Potter and which doesn't, how many parks Disneywhichever has, which Disney is where (unless they've been to one before or at least live close to one), and what rides are called, let alone what rides contain, even if it's all but spelled out for them (if they could, Snow White would still be having Scary Adventures). I agree that people should do more research on where they're spending their money, but in my experience, more people than not are simply unwilling to put any thought into going to a theme park, let alone what a ride may or may not contain.And while I understand the notion that folks are there to enjoy themselves on a vacation, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask for a little bit of “work” on the Guests end when it comes to them deciding what attractions they are suited for. Especially since Mansion and what’s inside has been around long enough to practically be engraved into pop culture.
Like, sure, if I take a trip to Six Flags with my family I’m there to turn my brain off and have a good time. But I also have acrophobia. Should Six Flags bring every coaster down to the height of Big Thunder to make my day easier at the cost of everyone else's? Disneyland has no shortage of other attractions for Guests to enjoy. And it just sort of seems a bit extreme to me to change something like this in an attraction with such a devoted fan base, I guess?
The difference between HM and Six Flags is that everyone expects roller coasters to be big, fast, and scary. People don't necessarily walk into Haunted Houses expecting suicide references, or things that might hit close to home.
