They sat ON the horse 

Here’s a funny anecdote. Last night, Don and I were planning for Tower Topics and he mentioned off hand that they’d use the "ONE. MORE. WEEK!” that he used at this point this time last year. 
 

…and

Nailed it.

As adorable as it is predictable.

What's wrong with the post?

Looking forward to getting back in the park soon!

Nothing wrong with it. It was just funny that he called it like he did. 

Interesting tweak to the parade route this year. I feel like this is way better- now they just need to eliminate the show stop between coney and IS and run it back down the other side of coney to the start point for the last show stop. They could even list the “approx” times that it would hit the stops so people don’t stress out if they don’t get to the route right at 8. Also interesting that Carrowinds is running theirs at 9-likely as an official “end” to the evening. Wonder what their learnings from the haunt parade were. All the vids I saw of it, it felt a bit cringy and desperate.but those were all from early in the run. Maybe it got better, but that seemed like an odd investment. 

Has anyone seen the actual information from the park on what is being served at each restaurant?

I have only seen some things in the app, but the website and other channels have been silent.

I saw screenshots of the app but it was missing probably about 60% of the info. 

One of the Kings got the four drummers.

I'm watching Christmas Vacation on TNT and I just saw a Winterfest commercial! It was brief and I believe mentioned a 2024 season pass.

Did the Coney Island Nights of Lights last night and enjoyed it, however it just made me more excited for Winterfest!

If anyone is buying tickets for friends or family, you may want to wait. Kings Dominion is currently running a flash sale for $19.99 tickets. If history is any indication, Kings Island will likely run the same sale within the next seven calendar days. 

With Kings Island’s recent behavior, it may be safe to assume that people who purchased at the current “sale” price will not get an adjustment.

We get a 4-day sale instead of 3!

Looks like I was wrong then.

Huh?

Pinch me if I'm dreaming but I believe the chaperone policy is not a thing (at least for Winterfest). I can only find 1 mention of its existence on the site. The web banner on the home page was removed too.

 

The parade looks like it is going to be a great show!  I think I counted 7 floats, can't remember last year's count. From my perspective, it looked like they had enough performers, so hopefully not a huge budget cut.

Kings Dominion still has them. Really wish we did, was one of my favorites.

I really liked them too!  But keep in mind that while KD has them, they do not have a parade this year.  And poor Worlds of Fun. 

Carowinds is enforcing their chaperone policy for Winterfest.   ID required to get in there.  

 
 

Looks like the menus have been released. Is it me or does it seem more standard season options than holiday options? I feel like there used to be more specialty meals.

I agree - it looks like only holiday meatloaf and mac-n-cheese?

Well, like we said, they got your money already, so what is the incentive to offer anything new or different. 

It isn't like a meal plan passholder is going to boycott and not eat LOL. 

There will still be healthy food lines at park open for the meal planners to get their first meal so they can get a 2nd meal during the limited hours  

lol the TAS Lady…

Grain and Grill is Scrooge’s Sausagehaus - featuring items that are found at other places in the park. 

It's awesome we can get hot chocolate refills at the top of the Eiffel Tower

Sad. Pretty much confirmed that’s failed.
