With regards to the bolded, I’d be intrigued to know what you mean, as surely this would be the case for any dark ride, as all dark rides pack some degree of spectacle and surprise?
It depends on what the ride is trying to acheive. For "jump scares" and shock, once you know what to expect there is no further surprises. But for something like telling the story of Charlie and the Choc Factory, yes there is less spectacle maybe the next time, but the story is still interesting (maybe not the best example of course as ATs version was lacking in spectacle).
A ride with an interesting and engaging story is worth re-riding. Going on something where it relies on jump scares is less repeatable.
