    Since this video was recorded, security has now been increased in the Oasis. There are more than just one security guard now and they are actively roaming the site to stop any further damage or intrusions. We saw them today. Was great to see. You will be caught if you try to go in.

      I think you'll find a lot of people only went there on occasion, like you did. If people only go there every seventeen years you don't have a very viable business, that's why it closed. I think also it failed to keep up with the times. I hope it reopens for the sake of providing to the community, but it's no wonder it got into its current state.
