Nowhere does this article mention Kings Island, they are just a SPONSOR just like The Beach Waterpark and evry one else on the list. This is just a ONE DAY 3 HOUR festival, How is it posible for KI to make a huge dicison to bring back winterfest with that?
Kings Island is NOT the MAIN SPONSOR of this event, they just have it on there web site because they helped financialy along with 30+ other businesses and groups. http://www.festivalsofmason.com/events_chr...as_in_mason.htm Look at all the names, KI is just one of many. There are THOUSANDS of these christmas festivals around the country, this one is no different just because KI paid a couple hundred dollars to sponsor the ice carving. This is NO TEST for winterfest, GET OVER IT!!
Please explain to me how myself and others are wrong.
Ford does not run an entertainment venue as it's primary business. But ya know, if Ford were "Sponsoring" construction of a vehicle, you can bet dimes over dollars that they'd be very involved.

Need I say anymore?? SPONSORS HAVE NO SAY IN THE PLANNING OF THIS EVENT!! KI will probably benifit more by sponsoring this event than trying to bring back Winterfest.
You are wrong, this event was put together by the FINANCIAL help of a sponsor. It could have been any company's name on this event, Ford, Coke, Pepsi, Great Wolf. You are all reading to much in to this, TRUST ME!!
"involved" ??? all KI did was donate a little money to say "SPONSORED BY Kings Island"
KI didn't have any say in planning this event. You people are just dreaming. Cedar Fair tried a Christmas event at CP and it failed, one at KI already failed a few years ago, why would they try it again??
Well, I've been there in the same conditions and I was the ONLY ONE on the midway. I was there the night they CLOSED the park early because of weather, I think it was 2 years ago. Weather has ALOT to do with attendence during halloweekends or any other time of the season.
It did so well this year because of GREAT WEATHER... If the weather turns cold & rainy like it has in past years, the midways will be EMPTY and they will be asking themselves why they extended the season. Hope for good weather!!
There is a lot of land there. More than I ever thought they had. I doubt all the land would be purchased by one entity.
Thats the main reason Cedar Fair bought that park! With ALL THAT LAND, Disney or Universal could have came in and built a HUGE park and we would be seeing CP shutting down. I still think they did the right thing by closing it and I believe that was the plan from the begining.
This is a HOLIDAY WEEKEND!! what else would you expect?? This usally is one of there buisest weekedns of the WHOLE YEAR!! I heard that all the CP hotels were completly booked solid the whole weekend. Good Luck tomorrow.
edit: Thats why there open later this Sunday, they EXPECT a LARGE crowd!!
