What's the story with Flashback? From what I've read, it's on the waterpark side of the park, and they used to close it with the waterpark during the winter months, but one year they just never reopened it. What gives?

I have also heard rumors that the screens are gone for good. If they do install a live show, don't crucify the park if it's a little on the lame side next year. Just remember that the first year that the Paramount Theatre was renovated, they dried up the budget for the whole year doing that and didn't have much money for the actual show.. hence Magic of the Movies. The next year, they were able to utilize the venue and had one of the best shows PKI has offered. Just give this stuff time.

I bet you anything that's the reason. It would stick out from behind the tree lighting set so they just removed it for now. Trust me, if PKI were sold, you'd be the first to know.

Eiffel Tower Tree Lighting: 6:00 White Christmas Express: 5:00-Close Santa's Christmastown: 4-Close (Note that Santa will be takeing a break from 7:30-8:00 to participate in the nightly parade) Holiday Illuminations: 5:45, 6:15, 6:45, 7:15, 7:45, 8:15, 8:45, 9:15, 9:45 Santa's Toy Factory Musical: 4:30, 5:30, 6:30, 8:30, 9:30 (Due to the popular demand for this show, this attraction is by reservation only! Reservation tickets can be picked up at the return visit window) Nickelodeon Tree Lot: 4:00-Close Christmas Parade: 7:30pm Please note that any night Winterfest closes at 9:00 there of course will be no shows starting after that time.

January at No-Coaster Con, I think.

I've heard it means like, "Flying Dragon" or something to that effect in Japanese.

Correction -- Top Cat's Taxi Jam (in addition to Pixie and Dixie's Swing Set) have been added to the list of rides that will be opened. Per Marueen K.

Wings is being reserved for private party use. ...and the poem was mine. Also, Maureen asked me to let you guys know that Pixie & Dixie's Swing Set as well as Top Cat's Taxi Jam are now on the list of rides that will be open for Winterfest. Skating rental is a total of $10. $7 for ice fees, $3 for skate rental. You are welcome to bring your own skates to save the $3 and the ice fees are good all day, so you can leave and re-enter the ice at will. We REALLY wanted to come watch you guys reherse yesterday, but with it being as hectic as it is, we couldn't get ahold of Scott in time. I have no doubt that you guys will put on an amazing show. Click here to see a couple shots of the parade floats.

The star setup at the top of the tree is in fact the Paramount logo, there's really no secret behind that. As for the rest of the show... you'll just have to sit back and wait. If you are into the magic of the holidays then in your wildest dreams you can not imagine what they have in store for you!

I actually asked Maureen about this today. The wheel was removed to be refurbished and is still on PKI's "to do" list. As of now, it's still penciled in to be reinstalled at a later date.

A plot? Come on! It's a 20 minute amusement park show. If you get fire and explosions, you've already gotten your times' worth.

Goes without saying. It was a magnificent performance.

PKICentral proudly brings to you an exclusive update! We were the one and only web site to actually tour the park during its Winterfest preparations and bring you over a hundred exclusive photos of PKI's final setup before Winterfest opens! This exclusive update brings you: International Street decked out in all its glory Holiday Illuminations, finalized Santa's Toy Factory in the Paramount Theatre set construction Winter Festhaus Construction Bubba Gumps - Winterfest Style Sets for the White Christmas Express Nickelodeon Tree Lot ....and MUCH MUCH more! This update also includes non-Winterfest related photos as offseason rehab of some of your favorite rides and attractions! A very warm and special thank you goes out Maureen Kaiser who took the time and effort to walk with us through a cold and snowy park... thank you so much! Maureen asked me to point out the following: Despite the rumors on here, no, not FoF, Tomb Raider, nor any other thrill ride will be operating at Wintefest. Simply Scooby Doo and the Christmas Caper, White Christmas Express and the two carousels. The International Restaurant will NOT be open to the general public. Wings will not be open to the general public as well. PKI anticipates a high demand for the Santa's Toy Factory show in the Paramount Theatre. If you wish to see the show, you will have to acquire a reservation ticket. These tickets will be available at the Return Visit booth. You can pick them up as soon as you enter the park and can request any show time that is available. Click here to see the photos! Regards, Ryan PKICentral.com - Where I don't care who you are, if you're not me, you just got pwnt!

It's funny... you're talking like just because the End of Season video hasn't been rolling quite yet that we don't have anything planned for you. Keep checking PKIC over the next day or so for something that's both very heartwarming and exclusive.

Wow... those photos are actually really sad. It looks less like a razing and more like a tornado hit. It's like they didn't salvage anything (except maybe the boats). It's like scrap metal everywhere.

Umm... mid-production then? Help me out Rick. By the way, I downloaded their IJ video and found it to be pretty lame to be quite honest. Click here to download PKIC's IJST media day video.

Just you wait... we (as always) have an end of season video in pre-production, but we are debating as to whether or not to wait and include Winterfest.

It has been reported to us that we have been having som uncommon occurances of offensive ads on the site. None of these had any sexual content, but one did involved drugs. If you see any offensive ads, take the company name down and report it to Dane so we can prevent this from happening again. Thanks in advance, Ryan

Looked like the game was mobile, so I'm guessing that it's heading down south for the next few months.

Tram drivers!! They're like bar tenders... they're always looking for conversation.

Hey... at least we know that the IAAPA held some sort of convention in Chicago.. that's where some of the originators talked John Allen into designing The Racer.

Yeah how many kids do you know that really likes that food! Personally I am not paying 15$ so my kids will say YUCK! I ain't eating that Ha... fantastic point. I think the Festhaus deal is more of a grown up thing. Even the entertainment (especially the live pianist) seems more like adult oriented entertainment.

I agree, but rather I don't give it too much more credit. Maybe some decor inside the ride, but no major retheming.

I'm not sure if they have the ability to flash if it's "nearing" capacity, but rather if it's already sold out they could show those dates.

Ever thought maybe you have asthma or an allergie to the smoke? Plus it hasnt been proven to cause any fatal pain to you. My best friend cant stand to be around smoke cause of his allergies, but its in no way killing him. 2nd hand smoke is in no way a mass murder device killing us off one by one. I don't think you're seeing his point. The 2nd hand smoke does bother a lot of people. That's why the designated smoking areas are there.
