    I have no problem with "theme park" as a recreational place filled with industrialized playground equipments, but the American concept of it as this open-air theater where the performers are puts up this elaborate LARP while the attendance are not obliged to play along just feels so weird. I mean you have all these actors pretending like they're princesses or sentient toys while the guests continues plodding around in ballcaps, sweaty t-shirt, continue, etc being all touristy, and this is supposed to be magical?! How?

        No, that's better than what's in practice because here you have the audience participating with the open theater. In reality they would just records with their phones, because definitely noone else have ever recorded this once in a lifetime experience that isn't just going to be replayed multiple times for the rest of the park's run time.

        Theme parks are treats except roller coaster. Going hundreds of kilometer in a train (good) with loops and banks is a necessity for a modern industrialized human.

        edit: roller coasters are just high speed rail with one station :train-shining:
