thatbandguy8807 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm honestly kinda surprised that they would announce that so far in advance.... A full year and. Half before it actually happens.

jbum123 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Really??? Color me shocked...hope it works out this time. What is a smoke house? I assume a place to grab some grub? Hopefully smoked meat like at Carowinds. Brisket, pork, ribs and turkey legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for amusement park BBQ, Carowinds has it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I might be making multiple visits to Cedar Point Shores & KI Soak City in 2017 just for food. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIghostguy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm actually really disappointed. I was really hopeful that Phantom Theater would be back. I'll probably go, and I'm sure a lot of people are excited. At least I still have Mystic Timbers to look forward to! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWC2003Amy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I have a feeling that a dark ride isn't that far away maybe a year or two. Sent from.... Hello is this thing on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Maybe CF is saving money to put dark rides in most of their parks. Unless they are planning something even bigger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 They announced Winterfest so soon in order to sell more season passes. Guess what just went on sale? Perfect time to pitch an added benefit to the passes that are bought and to drive increase sales of said passes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I wonder if all-season dining plans will be accepted for this event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm a little hazy about whether Winterfest is starting this winter or next. At the announcement it seemed he was talking about this one, but no dates have been announced yet so I'm not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny1388 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Seems odd they'd announce it do far in advance if it's next year, but also seems like they wouldn't have said it's returning in 2017 and have it after the holidays (in this coming January) since part of the announcement is a Christmas tree display (why turn the Eiffel Tower into a giant Christmas tree *after* Christmas?). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstimetoeat Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 By announcing early it solves the problem of trying to keep a secret. I seem to remember seeing plans for Mystic Timbers long before the announcement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm a little hazy about whether Winterfest is starting this winter or next. At the announcement it seemed he was talking about this one, but no dates have been announced yet so I'm not sure. I believe they are saying holiday season 2017. Starting around Thanksgiving. Also, they are announcing it this early to try and boost season pass sales for next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I agree. This is comming next year. I was poking around some of the other parks sites and it was more explicit on them. Six week starting November 2x, 2017. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubVLegend Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Ok so I am excited for Winterfest, I'm sure they have looked at the past fails and learned from it and I expect something amazing next year. That being said it's still upsetting to know that we will have to empty boxes at the park next year. Maybe 2018.
