Agree re: being underwhelmed, but in fairness, your typical "vomit comet" parabola flight only gets you about 25 seconds of weightlessness at a time. Although you can repeat this several dozen times per flight pretty easily.

25-30 seconds, with https://www.gozerog.com/ https://www.gozerog.com/ offering 15 parabolas totalling 6.5-7.5 minutes for $7500+tax. Much better total zero-gee time at much cheaper rates. Of course, you don't get the view above the atmosphere...

  I don’t think it’s the weightlessness as much as it is the view. That’s the part that i would like.

And you are ignoring the 1.8 g part after each parabola - the zero g don't come for free. The acceleration on New Shepard is much lower and even the max acceleration experienced during landing should be in the same ballpark of <2 g but only once and for a very brief period of time only compared to the vomit comet. This could be a factor for some people.
