it's called economy, it works like this: retards pay for shit, genius smart and obviously superior business people see this lowly dumb primitive apes called consumers paying for their shit so they keep increasing the prices. It's not a scam or theft if you allow it and even seek

Bullshit. A one day ticket doesn't cost that much. And in 1970, the admission ticket didn't actually include any rides, it was just park access.

In the mean time they had to print "one (1)", because it seems the average visitor's IQ dropped inversly to the ticket price.

Inflation calculator says 3.5$->29$. Also remind me of the people pretending that houses aren't actually unaffordable and adjusted for inflation and whatever it should be fine while it went from 3 year salaries for a house to 20...

You had to buy ticket books to actually go on rides back then. $3.50 just got you through the gate. Still a rip-off either way.

according to the internet $3.50 in 1971 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $28.95 today. Question is: do you get more attractions worth the additional ~$160 than you did in 1971?
