When I was a kid in England before we emigrated to Australia my Nan ran a village pub, her most regular daytime patron was Mr Bagshaw, who was the owner of Alton towers, he used to sit me on his knee and let me have sips of his beer while he drew ducks, more importantly 😀 we used to get free passes every year and it got to the point we went so often (and were too small to go on the corkscrew or even the big swingy raft thing) that as kids do we got used to it and by the end were as excited to get McDonalds In Hanley on the way home as we were to go to what we were told was the 6th biggest theme park in world at the time (I’ve just realised I’ve never bothered checking if that was true)
