Moshe123 is 100% right, our numbers are growing like crazy while the world population is in decline. There is no attraction anymore under the radar, they are all JAM packed Chol Hamoed.

You totally misunderstood what I said, to get this response...

Way to go Jews living the American Dream (pun intended), but it has nothing to do with Hitler.

While it’s true that כאשר יענו אותו כן ירבה וכן יפרוץ, I see much more evidence for that in the novelty of the בעלי התוספות than in KFP Chickies fast-food at the American Dream.

I was at AD this Chol Hamoed too, and perhaps it’s something to be proud of, but it isn’t everything my Judaism stands for.

Its not true. I have went to places in the tri-state on groupon that there were very few yidden there (and the ones that were there didnt 'shter the matzav'). If people would just get a bit more open-minded about what is considered 'fun' they wouldnt all end up in the same places, but as of now most people just go bowling every year. I have nothing against it, i also went bowling today but dont say that everywhere is packed, its just bowling/golf/arcades/science center/zoo. If you stop living on repeat and you will see different results

Im not going to give away all my secrets :)
But really it depends on what you find fun. When you look for something to do, dont look for something that is super entertaining, as long as everyone will enjoy it even a little bit, you will walk away feeling like you had a good time. When camp counselors say that it all depends on attitude they werent wrong

axe throwing is a CH staple in my fam. usually a filler for a day when we don't have anything planned.
our motto is anything can be/is fun when the whole fam is in to have fun.

"hakol Lfi Ha'hype"

we've made waiting on long lines in six flags fun, or a simple trip to the zoo.

show your kids that its fun and your excited and usually their attitude changes aswell (it can take time)

Not exactly off the beaten path, but like you say it depends on attitude. With that mindset you can do other things as well that might be less crowded

forgot to mention we like roller coasters...

but even so its nice to teach your kids some positivity even when waiting on this huge line for a 50 sec ride lol (kingda ka)

actually the memories of the funny things we did in those random places outshine the memories of the ride.

So you did misunderstand me. I was only referring to the population growth. Nothing more. You built toros on my words.

So much truth to this. For city dwellers, just getting together the whole/partial family in a nice park is fun. Take along the bikes and scooters and enough bananas... I can't stand (pun intended) the long lines. The other places can be done during the year.

In raw numbers it’s a population shrinkage since 1939, so if you’re going by raw numbers then Hitler R”L “won”. To me your words didn’t make sense, all you read was me trying to make sense of your words.

Also, raw numbers have nothing to do with American Dream mall and who was or wasn’t there on Chol Hamoed. So instead of me trying to make sense of what you said, why don’t you please explain yourself.
