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

The one near my childhood home also had the train carriage, and we would sneak in when staff would forget to lock it. It was the coolest thing ever. Then one day, in my late teens, we were driving by and I realize that the train carriage was gone. When was it removed? Had it been years? Why didn’t anyone say anything? It still makes me sad.
