Fair point there!I meant that enthusiasts don't matter when it comes to planning new rides. Of course they matter in terms of advertising, but it's more that enthusiasts are a useful tool in marketing instead of having any sway on what new attractions will be.
Don't forget that enthusiasts don't generally spend as much as families, we tend to buy season passes and pop in with some lunch rather than a family that pays full price and then has a load of food and drink and then buy lots of merch on the way out.
When planning the attractions they most likely try to produce something that connects to the “basic” crowd.
Misunderstood the part about the planning of a ride, agree with you on that!
