Oakwood set an example in very little. But they do in the summer.
Their summer after dark event shows that if there's a good enough reason - people will stay.
The park was open till 10pm, with a laser/music/firework show at 9.45pm. There was also live music from 7-9.30pm.
Food outlets were busy. Rides remained with queues.
Alton should learn from this. Perhaps for 2014, develop a medium scale laser/music/projections show, get some live music in and have late closes on selected days.
With advertising, it would work.
