  1. I just want to know if any of you guys are going to winterfest tomorrow.
  2. The rides for Winterfest are: The train ride will be transformed into the White Christmas Express. In addition, Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle will open as Scooby-Doo and the Christmas Caper. Both the Hanna Barbara carousel and the grand carousel will be open. And Top Cats Taxi Jam.
  3. Great photos. By the looks of it everything looks AMAZING.

  8. So Tuesday must be media day for winterfest.
  9. Kings Island's on track to revive the adventure starting Friday The monumental task of turning the city's favorite summer playground into a winter wonderland is almost complete. By Friday, Paramount's Kings Island will be ready to flip the switch on WinterFest: Home for the Holidays. It will run through New Year's Eve. Right now, five days out, the 3 million-plus lights are mostly strung. The miles and miles of garland, decked with oversized ornaments and more lights, are draped on buildings, railings and light poles. The miles of red and green bunting are hung from the ceilings with care, the fountain is frozen and the entertainers are fully rehearsed and tuned up. WinterFest, a beloved tradition that drew millions of guests (exact attendance figures are unavailable) from 1982 to 1992, was scrapped when PKI went into overdrive constructing new attractions and was unable to juggle both WinterFest crowds and hordes of construction workers. Getting ready for it this year wasn't easy either. Work began in mid-October while FearFest was still in full swing, so workers had to rope off whole areas while dodging spooks, maniacal clowns and bloodthirsty lunatics running around with chain saws. Chaos? You betcha. A juggling act? Almost daily. A mad dash to complete in time for Tuesday's preview party and Friday's grand opening? It's coming down to the wire. And was it worth all the commotion? Sure was, considering what park guests are going to see starting Friday. IF YOU GO What: WinterFest: Home for the Holidays Where: Paramount's Kings Island, Exit 24 off I-71 When: 4-10 p.m. Nov. 25, 26, Dec. 2 and 3; 4-9 p.m. Nov. 27, Dec. 4; 4-10 p.m. Dec. 9-31 except Sundays when it closes at 9 p.m.; closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Cost: Ages 3 and older $24.99 at the door; $19.99 if tickets are purchased at Kroger's; $17.99 in advance at www.pki.com but only if bought for a specific date.
