24 Hour Theme Park?

[cathyJ]

 

They do stay open for some special events, such as the Gaydays party in May. I went to one at Disney Studios and in addition to the DJs, Rock-n-Rollercoaster and Tower of Terror was open to party goers.

 

Unfortunately, I would suspect maintenance and attendance issues (and security... people don't know how to act when the sun goes down!) would arise from a park being open late all the time.

 

Keep in mind a 24-hr laundromat still isn't packed at 3am just because it's open all the time. There will have to be something major to sustain people's interests to be up this late.

Terry, I used to work at SFoT on the youth weekends (Senior Night/Jeebus Weekend) in the mid-late 90s, I can tell you that its about the same thing, when it gets to be 3am, people start getting angry for some reason and start acting the fool. I witnessed one night where there was like 2-3 fights breaking out within a 10 mins period in the same area. Fellow co-worker got popped in the eye by an angry 17 yr old who he busted for smoking pot ...

 

So yeah, a 24 hour theme park, save Las Vegas, isnt really a good idea...

 

You are so right about that...at 3am people DO tend to get angry and/or..well weird !!

 

For a number of years I used to do the overnight shift ( Midnight to 5am Monday thru Friday ) at a local rock station in my hometown. Come to think of it I can actually write a book about the calls I would get from listeners.

 

Between Midnight and 2am...I would get calls from those who were staying up..nothing special but AFTER 2...UGH..the weirdos. Like the one call I received at 3am from a young man ( 20 years old ) who told me he had just murdered his younger brother. Of course I called the police even though at first I thought it was a sick joke. Imagine my shock and horror when I learned from the police that..HE REALLY DID KILLED HIS BROTHER !!!

 

Anyway..at those late night hours..anything can happen. True it can be the the case during the other hours of the day and night but between those hours of 1am and 4am...the odds of the more bizarre stuff tohappen..it really does go up. So with that being said..a theme park opening all night...and on a full-time basis...NOT a good idea.

Not to mention the Drunks that would wonder in. I worked over night at Mc Donalds we had constant weirdos through there and we had to call the police more than once. But at a park that would be a nightmare. Whos to say a drunk person would not climb a fence and get struck by a ride. Maybe a small FEC but not a big park. Profits would also drop. And most people in the park would just hang out or be very stupid and see the park as a playground. And you would get people like these.

I already messaged SF about that so hopefully they can do something before someone gets hurt.

They wouldn't get into SFKK.

Some people would be stupid enough to climb perimiter fences though.

^ Yeah and they usually get decapitated in the process.
