Non-repeatability of attractions would be fine for Disney World, but won't cut it for Disneyland. The Anaheim Park sitting in the midst of one of the world's greatest metropolises gets a guest mix that is heavily tilted toward the local, repeat visitor.

Personal taste aside, immersive environments like Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion still pump along entertainingly after 30 years, while films of any kind get old too fast to even bother featuring them at a theme park. Ditto for thrill rides with no themeing.

DCA might work well for someone visiting twice in its five-year history, but I don't believe that makes for a successful theme park in the L.A. basin.


And while everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I don't have to argue mine when attendance records back up my view that the park is a dismal failure and that nothing they've done to purportedly improve the place has actually done so.
