Best Theme Park Holiday Event (2023)

Featured Replies

Next year when it just gets lumped in with all Six Flags parks (like Six Flags seems to do for this poll), the chain will take the top spot in 2024 :P

These polls are more of a popularity contest then a real reflection of who has the best event.  How many of the voters have even been to more than one of these events, let alone enough to actually rank them?

Kings Island doesn’t even have the best Winterfest.  The lights are better at both Carowinds and Kings Dominion and Carowinds has a better ride lineup.

I’ll second that. I get jealous with every KD post at how much better that park looks.

LOOKS.  All of Kings Dominion is not open. They have no parade. Candy Apple Grove had a computer problem recently and the entire area went dark. The fans seemed to understand. Our fans would have complained for weeks.

I'm not a fan of these pills at all, but to imply that KI doesn't go out is not a good point. I celebrate Kings Dominion and Carowinds for their event. 

KD also operates 3 coasters despite smaller attendance than KI.    KD is the only park left with the synchronized light package. It must be problematic, but they are still trying to keep it going. They had it fixed the next day.

also, their international street blows Kings Island away. It’s so more immersive. Mainly because Kings Island decimated all the large trees a few years ago.
 

Kings Island Winterfest only has two advantages over the others.     The train and one hour more of operation on weekends 

While I appreciate the Kings Island actually improved their lights this year, they are still pitiful compared to Carowinds.  Carowinds puts 2 to 3 times more lights in each tree!

Kings Island just doesn’t have the tree cover that the other two parks have to have the fantastic lights.
