I keep seeing posts on winterfest. Did KI even say that they were thinking about bringing it back or is it just something that someone started around? You have to remember, winterfest went out when paramount bought the park. I doubt they would bring it back, otherwise, why would they have gotten ride of it? True, I do miss and wish they would bring it back, but doubt it.

Well seeing how they are opening a big new ride this year and all I wouldn't make sense to promote the next thing until that one already has opened and had some time to set in. I'd say if they do it, look for early July, cause what would be better than a Christmas in July announcement for an event that happens around "Christmas time" (Yes, I know its "Winter" related, not just Christmas.)

It's official...Winterfest will make its triumphant return ....â€Âwhen hell freezes over†..lol.. Come on I had to do it. No one on here has any clue. Just those who like to speculate and spread rumors like wildfire.

Although it is still a rumor, it has been hinted at a lot. I imagine a mid summer, probably August press release. They may announce it at the same time that they announce the new attraction. This is of course assuming that Winterfest is coming back and that there will be a new attraction next year....

I have a source who just told me that they are really thinking about not doing fear feast this year, but do winterfest instead. So who knows, maybe they are really going to do it.

I seriously doubt they cancel Fear Fest. As I have said in the past Halloween is the second largest holiday. Haunted attractions bring in tons of revenue each year. The weather is pretty stable during October for the most part and all but the water rides can operate. And lets not forget about the added bonus of perks for people who buy season passes.

As i said before, i dont think they are either, but i was just saying that i have a inside source that is reliable who told me that. I dont think they will, but who knows for sure.

If anyone's applied at the park lately, look at the availability paper in the app packet. They ask for your spring, summer, and WINTER availability. Last years app had no section to fill in for the winter. Shouldnt that tell u something? Maybe that this year is a 10 month season? Duh.

Very interesting information! It certainly sounds like Winterfest may make its triumphant return in 2005! I personally hope they do bring it back. I think that the success The Beach has had with Holiday Fest over the past couple of seasons could be part of the reason they may bring it back. To try and capitalize on money in the month of Decemeber that would not normally be earmarked for KI but other holiday attractions like Festival of Lights and Holiday Fest. I also hope that they keep FearFest in some manner in October. Only time will tell if they are indeed bringing Winterfest back for sure in 2005.

Well it certainly seems like all signs are pointing to the return of Winterfest in 2005. Now the question becomes what happens to FearFest? A shorter FearFest perhaps? I for one will be glad if they bring back Winterfest!

The PKI.com lists this for Fearfest:

Fridays 6PM-midnight

Saturdays 10AM-midnight

Sunday 10am-9PM

Don't forget that PKI.com is still an unhealthy mix of info from the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Then again, Fearfest didn't happen on Fridays last year.

Why would they start decorating the park now for Winterfest? Yes, the PKI site is a huge miz right now of information from 2004 and 2005. I wonder when they are updating the website. In the past couple of years they have had the gold pass holder perks online by this time.

I would agree. I know it would take some time to decorate. But it could be done in a timely manner. Doing so now would look ghetto and would harm some of the decorations due to the exposure to the elements. Besides who in there right mind wants to see winter stuff in the middle of the summer? I am so sick of winter at this point I would get sick if I went to my favorite park and had to look at winter stuff.
