PhishyBrewer Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 http://www.pki.com/winterfest/index.cfm This looks like an great event from looking at the video PKI has posted on their site. Has anyone attended this event before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 That looks cool. Dollywood does something like that too, and from the pics I've seen, it's stunning. They do a holiday thing at the Cleveland Zoo every year. Seeing the zoo at night with snow is always nice. Nothing like polar bears and penguins in their element.

PhishyBrewer Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Karen and I have done the Cleveland Metro Park Zoo when we still lived in Ohio. It was pretty fun seeing the zoo and the rain forest at night and all lit up. Except... we froze our asses off :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneygurlz2s Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I can tell you that this has been guests/locals #1 request ("Bring Back Winterfest") since the day Paramount discontinued it a decade ago. I have very mixed feelings, based solely on cost.... Unlike the old Winterfest, which was included in your season pass, the new Winterfest is a separate cost of $18 even for pass holders (general public is something like $24 bucks!!!). I am hoping that for this price it's not only REALLY fun, but also "all inclusive". If you have to pay that, PLUS parking, PLUS pay for stuff like carriage rides, skating, etc, that is going to SUCK. People are already complaining about the price. The Beach Waterpark has been doing a HolidayFest for the past few years and when we went a few years ago, it was insane. You had to pay to park, pay to get in, pay for hayride, pay to feed the farm animals..... luckily we had discounted admission coupons to start with. I am sure we will go at least once or twice, and I know that, as with FearFest years back, they may rethink the separate admission cost after this season, but for this year be prepared for it to cost you $$ to go.

Yeah, even with my Paramount's VIP pass, I still have to pay to get into Holiday Lights at Bonfante Gardens. But if it means them making a buck to keep the event going... I'm all for it.

jarmor Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The last winterfest? wasnt that like in the 20th century. If im not mistaken this is the first time in a long time this event is happening at PKI AND PC so I think alot could have changed in how the event is taking place...

scruffy Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Yes the last Winter Fest was in 1993. It has been a long time glad its back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneygurlz2s Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 No coaster will be open for Winter Fest. Don't count that possibility out.... there was more than one year during the last run of Winterfest where the weather heated up into the high 50s or 60s.... the ice in the rink melted and they went ahead and opened the Beast and a few other rides. I think they are going to have more to do at this Winterfest than in years past.... I am excited to see it! Shari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Flight of Fear? Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookbaby Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Yeah, I know that I heard that Scooby Doo was going to be open for Winterfest so I wouldn't know why all their indoor attractions wouldnt be open (e.g. Flight of Fear, Tomb Raider, etc).

disneygurlz2s Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Flight of Fear? Why not? It's makes sense, I suppose, but I think it really depends on what sections of the park they will be using. Back in the 80'-90's when they did it (Winterfest) the Coney Mall area was closed except for carriage rides to go through, which frankly, gave me the creeps because I have this weird thing where I don't like to be in the park when the rides aren't going. Anyway, enough of my neurosis..... back to the subject..... I think this is going to be more geared to "entertainment" than thrill rides.

MagnumForce Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Scooby Doo will be rethemed for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookbaby Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 How are they going to go about rethemeing Scooby Doo for Christmas? Put Santa hats on all of the animatronics? haha... actually, that would be pretty funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
