Repeatability relies, I believe, on having the story be vague, and having it seem to be happening somewhat to YOU, the observer.
Once it becomes a definable tale that you see happening to a repeating set of characters, it becomes boring to see more than 20 times.
How many times have we ridden the Haunted Mansion? What about Pirates? Note that no character appears more than once in each. That's about to change in Pirates, and is changing before our very eyes on the Mansion.
I think one of Phantom Manor's weak points is its definative storyline. And I really don't need to see the Phantom five times, thanks.
