I was just thinking about

  • cheap tickets
  • very cheap grocery store and free-to-use kitchens, maybe conveniently within the park
  • no fences unless they’re there to protect people from hazards
  • And if you like, you can donate money at the entrance to help out others with less money than you have fun too.

Even though I love theme parks and they bring out my inner child, I haven’t been to a theme park in many years because I’m can’t afford it. I’m sure there are many in this world who basically share a neighborhood with a theme park, and still cannot afford to go until all these things I listed are implemented.

How else do you think socialism could make a theme park more accessible and overall be a better place?

      I’m now wondering if my experiences of enjoying theme parks with no lines are very special for people living in more capitalist hellholes. Or does the US for example also have less popular theme parks that are still fun with no lines on non-ideal weather days? Btw my favourite theme park is in the woods so also not a concrete hell. Still expensive food though which is way too sugary.

        Growing up in Oklahoma there was the theme park Frontier City. It still had pretty big lines.

        I guess that’s was that time I went to Camden Park. It had pretty small lines… But you also felt like you were about to die at any second

        I’ve been to a few that had (at the time) world record height and or speed coasters. I’ve waited in line for longer than 3 hours for a ride before… Absolutely amazing rides that I’ll never forget, but I don’t have the stamina or patience anymore.

        Once in a great while I’d catch a good theme park on a slow day and be able to immediately ride again. Those days were lovely.
