They went from kids/family vibe to “operating theatre please leave quickly” vibe. In Australia we had one with a train carriage for kid’s birthdays, one with a plane, all sorts of fun. I understand the change and the coffee is better for it but still change isn’t always a good thing

Here in America, our local McDonald's had a merry-go-round. Push a button on the wall and it would go around for a few minutes. Lots of fun!

We had the Hamburglar back in the 80s. Several kids could sit in it and one would spin the wheel in the center, spinning the whole thing around. Good times.
