Winterfest 24

[DonHelbig]

I'm hoping to visit this week to get in a couple rides on The Racer and Mystic Timbers.

Literally just left, otherwise I would've checked. Tonight was possibly the most dead I've seen the park in ages. Enjoyed 15 minutes of ice skating by myself, solo train on Flight of Fear, and was the only person eating at Coney BBQ. After looking at the other Winterfest parks, apparently we're the only one open during this week (outside of Knotts, which well runs 365). I know it usually picks up later in the week, but still caught myself off guard.

It was a great night and great that management operated as advertised despite the bad weather at the start. 
 

KI is open daily beginning today (Monday Dec 16) but they close New Year’s Eve  

KD doesn’t open daily until this Friday, but they are staying open until January 4

Carowinds has the best schedule.  They are open daily from this Wednesday until January 4 plus opened 2 weeks before KI and KD  
 

As much labor as they have involved in decorating the park, they should find a way to operate as much as possible and get the people to support it.    It’s a lot of effort for 23 operating days.

It was definitely a great night after an iffy beginning. The parade happened with all show stops and even the 9:30 Yuletide Follies occurred as scheduled with slightly modified blocking to avoid slick spots on the steps.

Way better than the drizzly wash out that Saturday was (about 4 hrs early LOL)

Enjoyed my visit last night. I did not end up doing the buffet....but enjoyed my meal at Coney BBQ. 

Racer in December just hits different. So fun!!! Snoopy's Soap Box Racers was a nice addition. The lights around the train have been mostly fixed...there were still fixtures that left the people decapitated, missing an arm, or just not on at all. Music played which was a plus.

Snow Works only allowed for 2-3 lanes to be used. 

I tried two of the cocktails, which ended up being good.
