So last Monday I share a blog post around how much the enthusiast community should be involved in future developments. Turns out I had a lot of people commenting and messaging us expressing their interpretation on what an enthusiast is. Therefore it prompted me to write what a “theme park enthusiast” is, in our opinion. We’d love to know your thoughts too & hope you enjoy this blog post.
There is so many types that I’m unsure where to begin. I’ll pop a few different headers and then a brief chat about them. Of course these are just some of our interpretations on what a enthusiast is and the different types of people too. None of which are facts on what you have to be to be an enthusiast.
Not everyone will be as passionate as each other when it comes down to this hobby. I know a handful of people who simply just love visiting theme parks for the atmosphere and ride experience or simply for a day out. They don’t necessarily know the ins and outs of ride manufacturers or the stats of rides but they visit often for some fun.
Some enthusiast are die hard fan girls of certain rides or manufactures etc. A lot of people are like this for Nemesis. But that’s another type of enthusiast.
There is many enthusiast who have a wide range of knowledge in regards to the various ride elements, theming, manufactures and stats plus so much more. I think it’s so ace to know a lot in regards to theme parks. But you do not have know everything to be an enthusiast.
This ties in with the just enjoying theme parks one to be honest. Ants brother Tomas loves theme parks but doesn’t touch thrill rides yet I class him as an enthusiast still. He simply holds our bag for the thrill rides and then family rides he’ll join us. Perhaps you love been at a theme park but don’t enjoy rides as such therefore this is definitely an enthusiast type for sure.
A theme park enthusiast is whatever you wish it to be. There’s no such thing as a “real enthusiast “ as everyone has a different interruption on what it means to them. Me & Ant are people who know small amount of facts but love the atmosphere and feeling of happiness whilst at a theme park. But do not feel you have to fit into any of the above categories as they are just some of our opinions.
