I feel like shutting at 6pm during holidays is missing out. Kinda like "thanks for enjoying the park, time to eat dinner but not here".

Extending to 8pm is good.

It's not like DW has a great restaurant ready to go.  //s

The cost of staffing the park and the operating costs of running rides (energy/cycles/etc.) is almost always going to be greater than the additional money visitors spend in the park in those final two hours.

They already opened the restaurant on Saturday nights from 5-9pm.  If the goal is to get people to eat dinner and spend money, then they just need to open the restaurant, not the entire park.

Parks know when and where people are spending money.  If it were profitable to extend operating hours, they would.

They’d probably do a lot better closing at 8pm if there was a direct bus back to Broadbeach after close
