Me too. While the volcano itself is cool, it lighting up with LEDs at night is nothing super-impressive. I thought there was gonna be a night time "show"I think they should have stayed open until 10 and sold "after 5pm" tix.
And I was under the impression there was going to be...umm....more to the whole "volcano eruption" show thing.
I'm sure the plan wasn't to keep it open at night outside of peak season... and for IOA, my understanding is they rent out the park for private events at night quite frequently and thats the reason for closing earlier. I know I've been invited by 2 companies my family has worked for that do annual events for, my university had an annual night there, along with Grad Bash in high school, etc... it at least seems like all the time where OA is closing at 6 or 7, its because they rented out the park for a private event.The night hours were just a very flawed idea from the get go. Heck, Universal doesn't even keep a "real" theme park like IOA open in the evenings outside of Peak Seasons.
Even with the rental nights considered they still close the park before dark most nights except in the summer,XMass holidays & Spring Break. Not necessarily at 6:00, but certainly 8:00 or earlier.Me too. While the volcano itself is cool, it lighting up with LEDs at night is nothing super-impressive.

My point was more that thats the time period that they are renting out the park. i.e, the park "closes" to the public at 8pm, but the private event continues until midnight or even 2am, just the public is kicked out of the park. I've never seen a rental during summer or other holidays as the parks are packed and they want the hours to be long. Every event I've been invited to has been in the January-April range, but it sure seems like IOA is rented out several times a week during that time, and thats the reason for the earlier closing. If the park doesn't close by 8pm latest, they can't seem to do a private event there after hours.Even with the rental nights considered they still close the park before dark most nights except in the summer,XMass holidays & Spring Break.

So far it seems the people are speaking with their wallets. That's the bottom line & that's what really counts. Sell outs, regardless what of Trip Advisor people say. .I guess that shows how much that TA stuff really means.So, VB is pretty much running with 95% of remaining issues finished now?..? ; they are just load balancing from food to tapu. Temporary breakdowns don't really count as a fail in my book.

Sensors or raft conveyor belts break down. My understanding anyway.But how does a slide break down...?
Is it a slide? Does it physically exist? Is there water flowing in it at the normal rate?

The key is, if you want to arrive late, wait until 3pm-4pm after the afternoon thunder storms. The lines are usually non existent then.
