I don't enjoy Space Mountain for the nostalgia. It's 36 years old, and fondness for my childhood never enters into it for me. There have been many changes over the years, almost all for the better. Seems like a good process to me.
I don't enjoy the Haunted Mansion for nostalgia either, though I admit that seeps into the equation a tiny bit more than it does for the likes of Space Mountain. They've done a few changes in recent years, too. 50% success rate, in my opinion - but I appreciate the effort to keep things fresh(ish).
I appreciate Alex's concept. But in a world where Idiocracy is coming to be more like truth than satire, do we want out-with-the-old and in-with-the-new? In that vein, how many of Disneyland's post-Walt ideas have been successful through time compared to the quantity of successful "originals" either executed or conceived during that brief 11-year span at the start?
