I agree wholeheartedly. To go further off Cayman's space analogy, think about the moon landing back in the day. In 1969 it was, quite literally, the biggest thing that had ever happened to mankind - something that, to this day, has not been replicated or really been "topped". And yet in 2014 we regard the landing as a novelty, really. Despite the fact that we've never tried it again, we regard it as "cool for the time". When I learned about it in school as a kid it was very, very uninteresting...because it was, I guess, "old".
Think about all the crazy **** we see everyday, hundreds of thousands of new media pouring in every minute documenting stuff that should be phenomenal but is just sold as news. A guy jumped out of a freaking satellite a while back and free fell to Earth for like 15 minutes or something ridiculous, and the most you'll get out of someone is "yeah, I remember seeing that, that was pretty cool", and then move on to the next thing. The point that is really being driven home here is that this day and age is so over-saturated with big achievements and wonderful things, that anyone or anything that isn't constantly breaking new ground is going to get lost in the ocean of media and quickly forgotten. It becomes trivial, and it does so quickly.
If Jurassic Park was established in real life in 1994, in 2014 it would have become boring a long time ago. Theme parks are inherently like that. Once you've seen it...you've seen it. Theme parks are inherently like that due to their nature. Disneyland is an atypical example since there is a whole bizarre culture that surrounds that place that extends waaaay deeper than just the theme park itself. But look at something more along the lines of a traditional theme park - something like Legoland, for example. When Legoland opened up back whenever it opened up, it was a big deal. A huge achievement, groundbreaking, as a kid at the time it was about the most excited I can remember being. I went twice, LOVED it, but never really went back. I'd seen it, remembered it fondly, and that was it. You don't really get a lot of return for going back. And these days Legoland is kind of dilapidated.
It's easy to SAY that dinosaurs could never become boring, because that seems outlandish, but let's get real...yeah, they would. A lot less boring things have become old-hat just as easy. Jurassic Park is a one-trick pony, and once you've seen it a couple times, there's not much reason to go back.
Premise makes sense to me. Big time.
