🎃👻 THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING HALLOWEEN AT OUTBACK AT ISA!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make our first Halloween event such a fantastic night!

Our staff thoroughly enjoyed scaring the life out of you all, and we had just as much fun as you did! 💀😂

As this was our first Halloween event, we learnt a few things along the way, and we'd love your feedback to help us make next year's event even bigger and better!

🍬 More treats! Yes, we ran out! We underestimated just how many we'd need, so next time we'll be much better prepared.

🎟️ Tickets at the door! We relied heavily on online ticket sales and didn't allow for enough walk-in purchases. Unfortunately, this meant some people missed out, and we're sorry about that. We'll make sure we have a better system next time.

NOW WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! 👇

👻 Did we scare you enough, or should we turn up the terror?
🍔 Would you like more food and drink options?
🪑 Would you like more outdoor seating and places to relax around the park?
🎃 Should we have an earlier, family-friendly PG version for the younger kids?
💀 Or would you like a later, SUPER SCARY version for those who really want to be terrified?
And most importantly, what else would you like to see?

We're always looking for ways to bring more exciting events and experiences to Mount Isa, and your feedback helps us make that happen.

So jump into the comments and tell us what you loved, what we could improve, and what you'd like to see next time!

Thanks again, Mount Isa! You made our first Halloween one to remember! 🎃👻
