Does it normally start the 3rd Friday in may?

The answer to that is Yes. But usually by now Coastermania tickets have come and gone and Coasterstock tickets have usually had some kinda announcement for a Feb sale. none of which has happened. Also usually by now we sorta know park opening dates and lots of other info starts slowly coming in during the Winter off season. The chains media pages seem to be unusually quiet this season outside of Cedar Point announcing Winter
Chill Out and the dumpster fire that sale was.I doubt there is going to be any Coastermania,stock, or madness events this year but I hope I am wrong.

Editing the post to say the Winterfest I wrote was a typo of sorts and I meant Winter Chill out.

There are a lot of variables and logistics that goes into these events. Patience is going to be very important as the park figure out what is possible and not possible with the Covid restrictions.

Those are not CF parks. 

I attended a GOCC event at KI last year, but there were no park sponsored events at a CF park last year.

April Fools'?

Presumably you mean Winter Chill Out, a limited attendance off-season tour generally accompanied by a meal and presentation and/or Q&A session, where the entire ticket cost goes a charity of the park's choice (A Kid Again for 2021), and employees volunteering their time to participate.  WCO is nothing like Winterfest, a Christmas-themed event with rides, shows, meals, etc., all open to the general public as a profit-generating endeavor, and included with your Gold or Platinum Pass.

You can blame that on me trying to write that post after 3 tasty beers. I fixed other typos before the post went through but that one slipped.

No worries.

There are still a lot of variables in play on if/when Coasterstock will resume. Believe me, Don wants to be able to have the event as much as you do too. Just be patient.
