These hours are so much better than last year, I hardly even went last year since I could only go in the evening and I would have been driving there and back as much time as I would be there.

Keep in mind this is great escape, who has closed at 4 and 5 on days during the season before... And hoffmans playland, a childrens park with a few "big kid" rides in latham new york stays open until 10 on saturdays and 9 on sundays...and they get large crowds when they stay open late

Great escape just doesnt want to hire and pay the workers to stay that late

^That's probably not too far off. GE is the only park I can think of that closed at 4PM Last summer on weekdays. Granted it was earlier in the season but still come on. And greatescapelover funny u should mention Hoffmans, I'm a manager there and people comment all the time on how late we stay open. And people DO stay right up until 10, on some saturday nights we have people on rides till almost 1030...

My two neighbors are former managers also. Its nice they stay open that late! Ive been going to hoffmans every year since i was born and now i go with cousins and friends just for a little old school fun.... My mom has been going since their 1952 opening.... Hoffmans really is a great place for family fun.... The only 10 pm closing time this year is 4th of july, and in the past, theyve stopped ride operations around 830-9 when i was there anyways so the 10 pm doesnt mean much

Yup lastyear was the first year we didn't stay open till 10 every weekend... attendance was down a bit this year but we still pulled a good size crowd up until the end of the night most nights..
