Jumboshrmp Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I live in Florida, and I want to go on vacation some time this winter. However, I know most parks are closed during this time. Where in the United States (the closer to Florida, the better) can I find a great coaster park that stays open all year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Basically Florida and Southern Calidornia are the only domestic places with parks that stay open year-round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Check Dollywood's website, I know they are open a good number of days till Christmas. As long as it 40 degrees and above, they will run Thunderhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazan Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I think also SFMW is staying open year round this year, but that's just one park. I don't know about PGA (also in nor Cal), but you can check their website at www.pgathrills.com  Oh yeah, and Disney Land is open year round also!

pianojohn Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I know Wild Adventures in Valdosta, GA is open almost year round. It's not too far of a drive up from Orlando, although if I had a choice, I would just head over to BGT and Sheikra!!! Â Also, Japan's parks are open year round. It's fun and frigthening riding a coaster in the snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.. lets see, they have 7 kiddie coasters, a boomerang, and an SLC. That is not my idea of fun.   But anyway, thanks for all the help so far.

scruffy Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Kings Island might be open with this winter if Cedar Fair is still doing Winter Fest. Their are not alot of rides open during the Winter and the only coaster is the Little Bill coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I don't count Cheetah, Swamg Thing, and Bug out as kiddie coasters (Bug Out and Swamg thing are more of Family rides). You should just check it out for the fun (if at all) of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Sabo Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 What a wondeful way to (possibly) get frostbite. Riding a coaster in the snow (Japan)...lol  I seen a video (I believe one of Robb's) where they were riding a coaster in Japan and you can see the snow on the ground. That is absolutely wild. I wonder about any possible lawsuits of people throwing snowballs at the trains/guest..lol  Edit: As a side note, wasn't BPB-England open during the winter? Or any of the parks like A-T, etc? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumboshrmp Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 For all of those parks that have rides closed, is the admission any less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Vegas usually has rides open during the winter, especially the AdventureDome and Speed:The Ride (Which isn't that bad for a Premier LIM coaster- it's quite good, really. Â Mexico City might also be an alternative as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaneymon Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Go to Australia the parks there are open 364 days a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercraze2005 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Here in SoCal, Belmont Park is open year round along with SeaWorld, KBF , DLR and SFMM. The parks just close earlier. SFMM usually closes around 5 or 6 on weekdays and 8 on the weekend s around Christmas and Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I think that if conditions are right, Mt. Olympus in WI Dells has one woodie running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
