Reply to comment by Hillbl3 in Three Pennsylvania amusement parks named among best in the U.S. (Kennywood, Knoebels, and Hersheypark) by zorionek0
Some people might say that the quality of rides in an amusement park is by far the most significant metric to judge them by. You’re not convincing many people to spend the time or money to visit any of these places by appealing to the non-riders.

Those people would be wrong.
Loads of people go to amusement parks with no intention of getting on roller coasters. The aged, the very young, the car sickened, the pregnant, the spinally challenged, the vertically challenged, people who just flat out don't like it.
They go to be with family, friends; to play the carnival games; to watch the shows; to enjoy indulgent food. Trying to reduce the whole experience to the single element of coasters, even for the people who ride them, is absurd.

Similarly, I think that going to a derelict, glorified campground to enjoy the snacks and trees is absurd. But please continue to enjoy Knoebels.
