Here's my take on the situation, KI uses these days to get the crews ready for the operating season, the season where people pay for a one day ticket. Now in defense of the ride closings, they do it for your safety, I am pretty sure Vortex would have valleyed today if they tried to open it, and Action Zone is still having trouble from yesterday. I don't blame the park for closing early, sure Coney may have stayed open a few hours before, but think of how many employees KI had working today. Like a couple hundred, Coney Island doesn't even have a hundred I'm sure.
