Do you get bored of your home park(s)?

Kennywood has gone 3 years (2012 - Black Widow) without any major additions. While the rides are still fun, it does get a bit boring with nothing new after a while. Really hoping for something big in 2016/17, with this unusually large gap between new rides

I think in order to keep excitement the idea is balance - too many visits to any park and it'll become old hat. Six Flags Over Texas is my home park, and I'm glad to have it close, but the biggest factor that keeps me from going more is the horrible operations. As an enthusiast acutely aware of what operations could and should be like, it's simply painful waiting 5-7 mins or more for one dispatch.

I have WC to marathon now so no.

I definitely got bored of Darien Lake after 2 visits

I wouldn't say that I've gotten bored of Valleyfair or Nick Universe, although I'm not as excited to visit these parks as I have been in the past because neither has anything that really blows me away.

I got bored of everything in Belgium, might check out Pulsar but I hate Walibi Belgum :/
Thank the lord Phantasiand and efteling are close to Belgium.

You got bored with Cyclone before? Wtf man. Anyways, my home park based off distance is Canobie, and they have enough variety there so I don't get bored much. That said I much prefer Compounce, and tend to stay away from SFNE.

It depends a lot on the individual park and how often you visit. I live in So Cal, so I have the luxury of having four "home parks" (technically there's more within home park range, but I only count a park I visit at least once a year). Knott's Berry Farm is by far the park I visit most frequently (usually once every 1-2 months), and I do get bored of it because I've spoiled myself with traveling. A few of the park's rides are excellent, but most are fairly average for their type and I find that I have difficulty doing more than a half-day there without feeling like I'm just doing rides to kill time (this mainly applies when I've visiting alone...with friends I can do 6+ hours no problem). Meanwhile, I visit Six Flags Magic Mountain a few times per year and I have never gotten bored of the place. Frustrated or annoyed...yes, on occasion. But every time I visit I always enjoy the rides. The Disneyland Resort is an odd one, and I'm a bit bipolar about it...sometimes I'll go up to twice a month and stay open to close without ever feeling bored, and others I'll go several months without ever having a desire to visit the park. I've found that not including parking on my pass and not keeping a pass constantly (I usually alternate years between having a pass and not having one) have kept me from going so frequently that I get sick of the park. Lastly, although I don't consider it a home park I do visit USH regularly, but I find it difficult to visit more than once per year without feeling bored with their offerings.

Some say that So Cal is a great place for a theme park enthusiast to live, but having lived here for 25 years I say it is mixed. Yes, you have a lot of parks that you can visit whenever you want, but it is very difficult to get to anywhere else. I would much rather live somewhere with only one or two home parks but with several more easily accessible by car than live somewhere with a half-dozen home parks but no other alternatives.

Generally everything aside from like 2 rides at someone's home park become boring....unless your home park is the worst like Valleyfair or Wild Adventures.

I do get bored of my home parks.

I got bored of my home park Kings Island

I mean I have a new coaster to entertain me for a while, so I'm good for a year at least. Plus CP is big enough that you don't always do the same rides every time.

My home park is SFSTL, and I've been going to it since its second season, (yeah, I'm one of those older coaster guys) have never gotten bored with it over all these years, until now. the park just needs something big to kick some life back into it. Battle For Metropolis was cool, but not a coaster. this year the park added a Larson Looper carnival ride, and tried to pass it off as a coaster, and that just didn't work for my tastes. so I skipped out on getting a season pass this year, and got one for Silver Dollar City instead. still have to go at least once this year, it's the Screamin Eagle's birthday year, and its milestone for sure...
