Rides or service?

LTL, you make a good point.  What you expect out of a park is going to probalby change as you get older.  I have been in the Disney parks several times in the last few years when I rode on little, if any, of the rides.

I am still a coaster nut but it is not the end all - be all for me like it was when I was in my early 20's.

I ditto Jeff's last sentence.  SFWOA physically is becoming a great park.  Unfortunately, like the tin man, there is no heart.

Parks with great rides AND service, and, notably, all my favorite parks:

Holiday World, Cedar Point, Kings Island, BGW, IOA, Hershey, SFGAm, SFoG

Of course it is preferable to have good service, but I doubt you'll see it at SFNE any time soon.  That's just the way it is, been that way as long as I can remember.   Canobie Lake has a nice, genuine friendly feeling, but I'm still going to SFNE every time.
