Definitely makes sense!
my childhood years was visits to the parks every couple of years when we came to Qld on holidays from Sydney.
now having lived on the GC for 11 years and visiting a park every week or so, it does dilute the experience, and the enjoyment I get comes from watching my son's excitement every time he meets a character or conquers a new ride. Experiencing it through his eyes is what brings back that nostalgia for me from my childhood visits.
In saying that, 90% of my park visits are just myself and my son, so for the time being no thrill rides, so I still get that anticipation every few months when a mate comes up for a visit or we go in a group so I can hit up thrill rides
