Crazy long opening hours

What are the craziest opening hours you have seen posted for a park??

Since while I was browsing through park web-pages for the big trip this year, I found that Miragica in southern Italy were open until 4:am on some days, why on earth would such a small place have those hours??
It almost got me as a challenge to arrive a 2 or so am and get the credit just because you can :p

Anyone seen any weirder times anywhere else??
 
There was some 1ams I've seen at some Spanish parks, that was probably the most obscene.

I think 10-10 is PERFECT. Somwhere was 10-11 and that was a bit pewtch long, haha. Kinda want to say Hershey, but, not sure.
 
Only opening times I've seen which were crazy are CoasterMania at Cedar Point. ERT until 1am and then 5am the next morning for walk backs. To say me and Jerry didn't get any sleep was an understatement.
 
I think the longest I've seen was Disneyland Paris, opened at 8am for magic hours and closed around 1am after the Halloween party.
 
Not exactly crazy, but Fantasy Island is open until 10pm during the school holidays, which is great I think. I love popping up there late afternoon/early evening.
 
I seem to remember Movieland in Italy opens really late into the night, as the place turns into an open air disco

Just looked at their site and they don't say anything about it. Though they definitely have an area with laser lights and very loud dance music
 
I checked the opening times for Parque Warner the other day, the earliest it closes through-out the year is 11pm, which I thought was pretty mad to say the least.
 
Did somebody say open air disco at a THEME PARK?! What what? Amazing!

Errm, Disneyland and Universal were open from 7am-1am for New Years when I went this year.
 
Lotte World is open from 09:30 until 10pm or 11pm (Friday-Sunday).

Ok, so it's not stupidly late, but those hours are for EVERY single day of the year, including Christmas, New Year's Day etc.

I would say a bit earlier, maybe 9-10

Disneyland Paris was the latest I've seen. Closed at 1pm on a Halloween event.
 
I've left PortAventura at 12.30am. Personally I love it! Used to go straight from the hotel after dinner and get for the park at sunset, then midnight riding of Dragon Khan :p Stampida runs loads better at night too!
 
Yeah PortAventura is awesome, fireworks every night starting at midnight all through the summer. I left home in England at 1pm and got on Stampida, Diablo and Khan all before the end of the day :--D It only works where it's actually pleasant to be outside in the evening though. <3 Aventura
 
The longest I've been in a park was til midnight at Port Aventura. Parque Atracciones Madrid was also open until either 1 or 2am the day we were there but we were long gone by then.
 
Pleasure Beach back in the 90's, opened at 10am on some days and closed at 2am the following morning, they used to have shift patterns for the staff because those hours were the normal back in that era.

It's a real shame that PB doesn't open past 8pm most the time now, it's a totally different place at night and being in there past midnight was a crazy but great experience.
 
At parks inthe US, closing at 10 is just a standard.

And, given the parks are all practically dead (and supermarkets, and shops, and everything else that stays open practically 24 hours), whilst here it's heaving, it makes me rage. Why does this country refuse to see that it could make more money than it does and why does the US throw money away.

[/rage]

10-10 is what all major parks should be at peak times of year. Anywhere that is a major park and only doesn 10-5 or less can **** itself.

This is a bit off topic.
