SmartCat7162 Posted Tuesday at 04:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:16 PM I forget do they typically announce if they are doing fireworks every night during regular operation at this time as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timchat2 Posted Tuesday at 04:18 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 04:18 PM Last year the special events and most of the live entertainment were posted on the same day. The entertainment page (which usually includes the fireworks) hasn't been updated yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion-XL200 Posted Tuesday at 05:10 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:10 PM No lie, this is kind of disappointing. Grand Carnivale has ran it's course imo and the Food/Wine Festival did not have stellar reviews. An additional celebration day for 4th of July is good...but other than that, nothing new, nothing real exciting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial79 Posted Tuesday at 05:22 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:22 PM Glad to see both Grand Carnivale and the Food & Wine Festival returning, hopefully they get the word out more about it this year. Also, we can see WinterFest is on the table so that's great to see! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted Tuesday at 06:01 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:01 PM Super hyped for Food and Wine returning. Had a great time last year and looking forward to enjoying it again. Hopefully these events only get better with time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM Looks like KI is the only park doing Grand Carnivale this year. Fingers crossed they are able to pour more money into it this year as they have more resources with the other past Carnivale parks not doing it. Please please please KI and Corporate bring back the 2019 version!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted Tuesday at 07:08 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:08 PM I’m just happy Winterfest is back! 2025 will be the year to come out and participate in events to make sure they keep coming back. The numbers, at the end of the day, will probably influence the likely hood of future productions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted Tuesday at 07:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:09 PM I'm excited to see that Food & Wine, Grand Carnivale, Haunt, and Winterfest are all back this year! If the wealth of resources does get shared around, I think it would make the experience better overall. Hopefully F&W and GC both get more advertising this year (and hopefully something that is not just posts with 25% event details / 75% season pass promo). Maybe the tasting cards will come back as well More details or changes for Tricks and Treats, Halloween Haunt, and Winterfest will probably released closer to August/early September, so I'm curious how those will look now that events and experiences are being shared between parks. This will be the 25th year of Halloween Haunt too, so I'd like to see if the park does something cool for that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlentless Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I know the events had already been listed but here is a news story in the Journal-News today. https://www.journal-news.com/lifestyles/kings-island-announces-special-events-coming-to-the-park-this-summer/PU7MNSBWERCQHE5DQ34K6WYDLY/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I kind of wish they would do something completely new and different. I agree that Grand Carnivale has run its course. I unfortunately did not get to experience it the first year when it apparently was actually good. The event left a lot to be desired the last two seasons that I have been. Hopefully since they are bringing it back this year they actually devote more resources into making it what it once was. As for the Food and Wine Festival, that's not really my vibe personally. Glad other's enjoyed it though. A refresh of events next season would be nice to see though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
