I just don`t get them saying that they are closing two hours early for labor issues.  The employees are already there.  Its not like they are cutting out an entire shift.  Seems to me more like a way to save on labor costs to improve the bottom line then a shortage of workers.  Guests can`t spend money in a closed park...

And keep in mind that they already cut one hour off the beginning of the day this year (and last year).  Closing at 8pm sure makes it hard for people that work until 5pm to enjoy the park after work.  

 

Employees can only work 12 hours in a day. They come in at least an hour early (or earlier for ERT) and stay an hour late, so employees can't work 10am-11pm. They follow California labor laws. With the park closing at 8 they can work 10am-9pm with an hour to spare for ERT or other departments that work earlier or later.
