Sure, you are talking about parents who haven't taken their kids to a theme park when their kids were young because the offerings weren't appealing, suddenly deciding to make a trip to a theme park for the first time when their "kid" is a teenager.

This family may have already discovered skiing, sailing, fishing, backcountry motorcycle trips, zip-lining in Costa Rica, European travel or cruises by the time the kids reach their teenage years. So, the theme parks can try to attract that first-time visit but they have missed the opportunity to be part of the family's travel tradition.

Maybe, but now you're getting super duper hypothetical. If a family decides to go sailing with their elementary-aged kids rather than take them to a kid-friendly theme park, that automatically means they'll never go somewhere like Epic Universe when those kids are a bit older? IMO, no, but maybe I'm wrong. Just feels like a false choice -- like you have to absolutely nab their attention before they reach a certain age or they're toast as a demographic? I just don't think that's how it works at all. Especially not for a place like Epic. If the Kids Resorts aren't getting a lot of young families, then ya. But not Epic.

Automatically? Never? No. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is there is value in forming family memories and powerful brand connections early because they can be harder to form when kids are older and there are many other interests and distractions and opportunities and alternative brand loyalties to compete with.

Kids Resort may help, but I think it will be regional and the strategy is arguably pushing a rope.

LOVE this idea. It would fit in well with the playfulness of parts of the land and also soften the scariness a bit.

They replace the not as merch-friendly Gilman with ridiculously merch-friendly Bride?

I can buy that.
