Stadiums remain pretty full in my anecdotal experience, so while they may have priced out the general public, they don't fit anyway.

This is the main thing - if there was a large demand for "cheap Disneylands" for the general public, someone would build them and snap up that group.

And they have, SoCal and Florida have lots more amusement parks than they used to, and they're not all priced the same.

There is a large demand for cheap family entertainment, and a lot of supply.

It doesn't look a lot like “city sized theme park with exclusively licensed characters from major popular media” because...that's inherently not cheap to operate, so people trying to do it either end up being expensive, or go out of business (and the universe of defunct theme parks is a testament to the latter outcome.)
