All are welcome to join us in the Paramount Theater at 10am on July 25 for a media announcement for... who knows what!

For now, enjoy the teaser flash on the homepage.

if you look at the video really close you can see the outline of the tower in the snow at the end.....it looks cool can't wait until we find out what lies ahead.....

Is winterfest actually coming back?

Holiday Season=Christmas=winter (winterfest)

again=happened already and it has happened before

snow=winter ????winterfest?????

HOPEFULLY!!!! fun fun fun!!!!!!

Cant wait to find out whats in store for this Holiday Season at PKI. It must be something BIG.

I will definitely come if i'm not workin at that time...

ooh wait i requested that day off. YAY i'll have to come. lol.

Sounds *****in. I however will not be able to come - I will be in Missouri at the time for business.

I think they tell all park employees whats going to happen. Because i worked in food service back in 2003 and they told us about the new water park but they did not tell us the name of the water park they just told us that the water park was going to be better. so i think they will tell the park employees whats going on in the next week or so.

WINTERFEST=FUN!!!

It's pretty obvious what the announcement is...

I dont think it is I wonder what it is going to be?

With this Great Announcement.......im hoping this is the return of Winterfest.

They may say you can get your 06 season pass.

lol

I think it would be kinda funny if they announced the worlds tallest, fastest, and longest coaster to be built.

But it'll probly be Winterfest.

I am just not a winter person... and Halloween is the BEST holiday there is! Yes, better than Christmas. Plus, I believe that Winterfest has failed once, and will fail again. History WILL repeat itself! -Hauntguy

failed how? I remember when i was a little kid, I loved winterfest. they had ice skating on the fountain and had shows in the paramount theater.

In actuality, WinterFest never failed. They discontinued it for many reasons but none of them was because of its failure. The park has done a ton of research before deciding to do this and I am sure all results said this will be best for the park. Also, FearFest will still happen. There is going to be 3 to 4 weeks between FearFest and WinterFest but you will see all the details soon.

they had ice skating on the fountain

I'm suprized they would do that. You think the pipes would freeze up and break.

Well, at least i think they did, lol. I was younger, so i could be wrong.

Part of the reason they discontinued Winterfest, was because after Paramount took over, they extended the season all the way through October, which allowed for a shorter set up time. I am sure they had other reasons.

PKI and Paramount Parks have been doing surveys on Winterfest for several years now, so I`m sure they know what type of a response they will get. They have asked everything from what rides would you like to see open, to what type of food, activities, what dates you would like to see, how much you would pay, etc. Winter activities have been taking off quite rapidly in the last couple of years in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Zoo has done Festival of Lights for years, ad has been a success. The Beach Water park a couple years ago started HolidayFest, which has grown in popularity, it seems, every year. I would imagine that Winterfest will allow PKI to not only receive a larger gate each year, but increase its revenue, and in turn, profits. While it is good for PKI, it will be good for us, because we will be able to visit the park and experience it in the winter again.

I hope they bring back the Eiffel Tower as a large Christmas tree! On a slight side note, they will most likely bring back the lights on the buildings on I-Street. In fact, when I was at the park tonight, as I had discovered about a month ago, one of the buildings actually has new lights. And they were lit. It was the Graeter`s building.

I think it would be kinda funny if they announced the worlds tallest, fastest, and longest coaster to be built.

Only if they did that would be great.

Nope, they dont just come out and tell us. They make us find our own sources of information.

It sure does look like it's Winterfest. I can't wait to hear all the details, and i'm sure PKIC will be right here to give them all to us.

The staff on PKIC are great. They will give us the news when it breaks. It will be posted.

Of course we'll be there covering all of the action! Unfortunately, I doubt you'll hear any information from the press conference that you haven't heard or figured out on your own.
