Went for my likely last visit to Winterfest for the year last night. I had a great time in all honesty. The weather was great and the crowds were light. First thing was dinner at Coney BBQ. The Turkey and Corn Soufflé tasted great especially with the Cranberry BBQ sauce (turkey). I did not go to any shows during this visit, but did catch several midway merriment characters and part of the parade. Took a ride on the 12 Days of Christmas train. This time, they actually played the song, though by the 5th Day display, we were on the 9th day of Christmas. Of course, there were lights out including the number 12, but it's okay because the song was already over and we were on some weird version of another Christmas song. Some displays were missing their heads, some of them were lit well. I still don't know why they can't send them to the manufacturer (I think it's a business in the Pigeon Forge area) to get refurbished in the "off season." This was my first visit to the park with snow on the ground (even if most of it was in piles) and some on the rides too. It made the event more magical to me. I ended up buying a print from Theme Park Art and it's one of Vortex. It was fairly priced and a gorgeous piece. The highlight of the night honestly was the food. I got the turkey ball at the end of the night and wow, I'm sad I hadn't had it before.

Decided to check out trademarks... I know this has been discussed, but ValleyFair's waterpark has the trademark Superior Shores Waterpark

Coney's last major overhaul was 2011 with the addition of pavers, WindSeeker and Dinosaurs Alive. It also got a boost in 2018 (Coney BBQ) and 2019 (Kings Mills Antique Autos). It also lost a major attraction in 2019, Vortex (RIP). Action Zone's last major overhaul was in 2014 with the addition of Banshee. Rivertown had a major overhaul for 2009 with Diamondback. It got a boost in 2013 with Reds Hall of Fame Grille and then another major boost beginning in 2016 with the removal of concession stands and then in 2017 with Mystic Timbers. I'm not sure Oktoberfest even actually exists anymore to the park. Not counting the kids area, the next section that I think that would need an expansion/refurbishment would be Action Zone (based on time of last addition/refurb). To me the only section that is acceptable to be filled before that is The Vortex plot.

From aerial photos I've seen this year, it does look like the ground is painted again.

Sea Warrior at Indiana Beach is similar(ish) to Monster....fun ride, I think it's better than Monster honestly. All of the ride vehicles are loaded at once on the ground and are independently able to move up and down throughout the ride cycle.

Noooo way! Until they are able to transport people in and out of the back portion of the park (whether it be by ferry, monorail, etc. or some sort of mainland parking), taking out parking spaces (that are absolutely full at multiple points of the summer/fall) is not the answer.

Lakemont Park has become incredibly sad....it's not even an amusement park anymore IMO. The last visit I had, Skyliner and Leap The Dips were all that was worth doing. There used to be much more and it was worth the stop. It's sad that the partnership lost sight of what the park is/was. It's hard to make $ (after you sell most of the attractions) when you have little to bring guests in, weird hours and ride status unknown (on the 2 rides worth doing anything).

One of my best seasons there!

I feel like this past season was the busiest I've ever seen it, so I can only say that definitely almost hit a record!

Another photo from the guy on Reddit

I did just see on Facebook that they are "actively working" on the site that's showing limited December dates. Other than that, hours still kind of sad 10 pm closure on 4th of July and the lack of 11 pm closes.

Interesting that there are dates late November and the beginning of December from 4 to 10 on Saturdays and 5 to 10 on Friday and Sundays. Nothing mid November and closer to Christmas. Winterfest gone? Edited to add: Forth of July closes at 10. No 11p closes that I can see, 12a for October.

Would love to see it. I, would also love to see a portioned amount of ice per cup being dispensed, like they do in some drivethrus.

When they tested it at CP at Coasters, it worked wonderfully...I miss it and wish it was still a thing (mobile ordering, not just at Coasters).

Not a fan of these designs at all.

I've been through the costume shop(s) at Cedar Point...it's insane how many pieces they put together, keep over the years and the small teams behind them.

Found these on Reddit thanks to /u/Mirahtrunks

I'm down @IndyGuy4KI

You buy it, I'll wear it

@DoomPlague the sweater they got!!!! LOL I just had to laugh at the ad because I have 2 cats and recently talked about them out loud near my work computer, alas the ad showed up.

Am I getting this because of my 2 cats?

The neon one? If that's the case, it was last up 2017/8....hasn't been back.

I believe the permit shows just the cost of the renovations to the structure and not the whole project.

This is fun.
