I definitely agree that short 1-2 hour ‘experience’ places, such as mini golf, electronic darts centres, trampoline parks, axe throwing etc are now far more popular than all-day attractions like theme parks. The public no longer seem to want to spend full length days out of the house.
People, including previously Nick Varney, always used to try and justify theme parks’ high prices by saying that hour-for-hour they offer better value for money. But now that the public seem less bothered about being out for the whole day, this has become a somewhat moot point. (I always thought it was a pretty stupid argument anyway since the majority of your day at a theme park usually involves standing in queues)
