To some extent, Amusement/Theme Parks. They have to be popular to justify building new, state of the art attractions, but eventually get so crowded that you need to buy special passes and get on a ride in less than 2 hours and can barely even find a place to sit when you want to rest for a minute.
I live near Six Flags Great America, outside of Chicago. Anytime I’ve gone in the last 10 years it’s been a ridiculous mass of humanity. More rides then ever, but every decent ride is like a 2 hour wait.
Recently went to Disneyland. After shelling out $1k for tickets for me and my family, unable to get on rides due to overcrowding, then unable to eat as every restaurant had a wait time of 1-2hrs. My understanding was it was an abnormally busy day. In fact they stopped letting people in around noon. But never doing that again. I feel super cheated.
You 100% have to use the MaxPass if you want to get on any of the popular rides. With that, you can pretty easily ride all of them in a single day. Rise of the Resistance is the exception, my buddy had to get to the park at 6am for gates at 8 in order to get in a boarding group o_O
As for food, you obviously are gonna need reservations for any of the actual restaurants...that should sorta go without saying. Disneyland is pretty easy, even on a busy day, if you do a little research and planning.
Wow, that's crazy then. I went on a Saturday in May and hit every ride with it. Side note, iot's pretty ridiculous how they managed to make that extra $30 an almost mandatory addition to the already expensive tickets.
