When Kings Island had WinterFest, what rides were open?

[kingsislandfan1972]

I had never been to WinterFest before and I was just wondering what rides were operating in the park during WinterFest?

[Delirium2018]

I have never been either. I don't think they run the rides. I know there was skating on the fountains I think.

I remember Enchanted Voyage, Little Miami Railroad and the Carousel being open amongst a few shows.

I can't remember off the top of my head what the last Winterfest had (besides the train), but before that it was the train and the carousel and I want to say that the Smurf ride was open as well.

Just came across an old Winterfest brochure in my basement over the weekend too, but I'm at work right now, so can't check it out.

In the 2005 version, they had SDatHM, Carousel, and the White Christmas Express (Great Miami Valley Railroad)- the Sporta-Copters (or whatever they're called now) shows on the map, but I don't remember them operating.

Go to Google and type "WinterFest 2005" in images and the top left image is the park map/brochure.

I believe that these were the only attractions open during Winterfest.

Carousel/HB Character Carousel

Smurfs/Phantom Theater/ SDatHM

and KI&MV Railroad

Hoping we don't have Wimterfest on Media Day or opening day.

I almost hope we do. I can ride Banshee any time. How often will I get a chance to take some sweet snowy photos of my favorite theme park?

Well, at least Opening Day. I want Media Day to be a huge success for the park, and I think snow would hamper that.

I am most concerned about Media Day. I want KI to get the publicity it deserves.

It'll be successful no matter the weather. They'll make it work. Might be a little cold or rainy for the riders, but the media will get their shots regardless...

Do you underestimate the power of the riders? You think a little pneumonia will stop me from riding Banshee if it's open? HAH!

^Actually might want to retract that hehe

Antique cars were also open during WinterFest at least during the 1991 WinterFest, I remember the had the Smurf props scattered along the course. I want to say Dodgem was open as well.

In 2005 they also had Top Cat's Taxi Jam open.

Oh my gosh, I had completely forgotten about this! I was there that winter and remember seeing the Smurfs all around this area. This must have been the first year Phantom Theater was there and the Smurfs had been newly removed. I miss all of this!
