BoddaH1994 Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Here’s a funny anecdote. Last night, Don and I were planning for Tower Topics and he mentioned off hand that they’d use the "ONE. MORE. WEEK!” that he used at this point this time last year. …and Nailed it. As adorable as it is predictable. 6 Quote

brenthodge Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Interesting tweak to the parade route this year. I feel like this is way better- now they just need to eliminate the show stop between coney and IS and run it back down the other side of coney to the start point for the last show stop. They could even list the “approx” times that it would hit the stops so people don’t stress out if they don’t get to the route right at 8. Also interesting that Carrowinds is running theirs at 9-likely as an official “end” to the evening. Wonder what their learnings from the haunt parade were. All the vids I saw of it, it felt a bit cringy and desperate.but those were all from early in the run. Maybe it got better, but that seemed like an odd investment. 1 Quote
Orion-XL200 Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 Has anyone seen the actual information from the park on what is being served at each restaurant? 1 Quote

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 I'm watching Christmas Vacation on TNT and I just saw a Winterfest commercial! It was brief and I believe mentioned a 2024 season pass. 2 Quote

Kings Dominion is currently running a flash sale for $19.99 tickets. If history is any indication, Kings Island will likely run the same sale within the next seven calendar days. With Kings Island’s recent behavior, it may be safe to assume that people who purchased at the current “sale” price will not get an adjustment. 2 Quote

Taylor.B03 Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 Pinch me if I'm dreaming but I believe the chaperone policy is not a thing (at least for Winterfest). I can only find 1 mention of its existence on the site. The web banner on the home page was removed too. 1 Quote
BeeastFarmer Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 The parade looks like it is going to be a great show! I think I counted 7 floats, can't remember last year's count. From my perspective, it looked like they had enough performers, so hopefully not a huge budget cut. 1 Quote

Orion-XL200 Posted November 23, 2023 Posted November 23, 2023 Looks like the menus have been released. Is it me or does it seem more standard season options than holiday options? I feel like there used to be more specialty meals. 1 Quote

Well, like we said, they got your money already, so what is the incentive to offer anything new or different. It isn't like a meal plan passholder is going to boycott and not eat LOL. There will still be healthy food lines at park open for the meal planners to get their first meal so they can get a 2nd meal during the limited hours 2 Quote
