What brings you to an amusement park or theme park? What is the most important factor?
I am a big fan of amusement parks, and am part of a large group of serious park enthusiasts. We have a debate going on about the parks latest efforts to get your money. For me it's rides, the bigger and more insane the better. For others it is who has the best family attractions. For others it is all about the buck, and who offers the best deal. One of my pet gripes with parks is all the newer up-charge attractions, premium parking, and pay to cut in line programs. Most enthusiasts enjoy them. I can't afford it, and think parks making money on allowing guests to cut in line is wrong. GO!
The trill and excitement are what bring me to an amusement park.
The variety and amount of rides matters most to me. I like something in between "family" and "insane" so those medium-level thrill rides and coasters are important to me. I want to be able to spend the whole day in the park and not have to ride the same thing twice unless I want to!

I am big fan of amusement parks and roller coasters, but in the last decade it seems that the Business of running an amusement park has over shadowed guest happiness. I understand that all of them are a business, but how much should the general public have to pay before they stop the sky high...
