Probably just for security. Most businesses leave at least parking lot lights on overnight to deter any troublemakers. It's possible they might have nighttime security on staff as well.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the park will move Dark Knight Coaster's on-ride photo camera to Goliath. I don't think anyone would miss being blinded every time they ride TDK

They can still get blinded by the lights and horns before the station. Another reason I hate that coaster.

Their caption to that was: "A polar vortex won't stop this giant! #Goliath" ...does anyone know if they are working today though, I haven't seen anyone on the webcam.
So then apparently "a polar vortex wont stop Goliath"... Not saying they should be working in this. They shouldn't, these temps are extremely dangerous. But don't brag about doing something your not.

They never explicitly stated they were working on it. It was just a fun picture.
They were out there earlier working on some bents. Right now there's a couple guys working right beside the tunnel.
Update: They are digging out the tunnel right now.

Footers are being added to the bottom of the tunnel.

They have a crane in motion over towards the other end of the ride. I wonder if they're working on the second half of the floater hill or something.
