On: America’s favorite family outings are increasingly out of reach

I agree that cars are better, but are vacation destinations like Disney really better? If you see parade footage from magic kingdom in the nineties you'll see that the crowds are far less. Sure there's more variety, more thrill rides and more alcohol, but I'm not sure the crowds and increased expenses are worth it.

Ditto on Las Vegas as far as prices are concerned.

I mean “better” in material terms. Things were just more bare bones back then: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/the-old-disneyland-hotel-photo...

There’s definitely more quality to the park.

There’s also more people but I think that’s an entirely separate issue. There are just more people on Earth than there was 10, 20 or 500 years ago.

Maybe we aren’t building enough new attractions. There is probably money in it.
