Noisy and smelly cars exhausting particulate matter into the lungs of children is your idea of a “charming novelty”?
Ever been to a campfire? Roast some marshmallows? Should we ban that too?
There’s a huge difference between building a society dependent on dirty death machines, and a play area where death is nearly impossible and people are exposed to (the same pollutants from the vehicles all around the park) for a few minutes. Even if we get past the car era, don’t be surprised to see racetracks and car dedicated areas. This isn’t going to change overnight and concern about a Disneyland ride is a distraction from important work.
This is another population thing IMO, campfires aren’t inherently bad and are a part of our evolution. They become inappropriate when you have too many people.

I think California did ban campfires. At least all fire pits in residential seem to be propane now, no more wood.

Race cars are going ethanol-electric hybrid and full electric. So, no.
Some will, sure, that proves nothing. Humans will race everything.
Ban campfires? Yes.
