I'm not going to a park just to check rides off on a list... If an ride is good, I'm going to want to ride it again... I'm not just about coasters either, a log flume is always fun, I'm a sucker for bumper cars, and I've never met a drop tower I didn't enjoy... Also, instead of rush-rush-rush-rush, I like being able to have the time to sit and relax on a bench somewhere and enjoy a sno-cone. Or take the time to have a nice meal somewhere instead of the standard park pizza/burger/chicken fingers. I've had rides where I've expected to want to re-ride it and I didn't, and I've had rides that I thought would be OK, then they really surprised me and I wanted to ride them over and over...
I like the ability to use my time as I want, and I'm willing to pay for it...
