As teens growing up, that period of time creates differences in fashions, music, and even political thinking. 27 years would account for 4 or 5 such transitions, and it's reasonable to assume that what "rocked" for retirees in 1994 probably won't rock for retirees in 2021 and beyond.
The most efficient way to "kill" Spanish Springs would have been to be locked into the original concept, for 30 years or more , and think that would continue to be attractive.

Excellent post...

I don't know why I didn't think of that... Oh, wait... I did. And I was promptly attacked for my opinion...
