At this point I'd kind of like to be surprised where everything will be put.

I think they will do a good job with this. I'm really excited about this coming to PC.

And I'm also glad that all the parks are getting it and not just a "select few". lol

[Jonathan]

Are all of the parks getting it? I thought it was just Carowinds and Kings Island.

[bgwfreak]

I knew someone would tell me if that was wrong.

I was assuming again. lol So we're the only two? That's surprising.

Maybe we are the "test markets". lol

I was just thinking about the ice skating thing and I realize that 2,500 sqft isnt that big. thats basically a 50ftX50ft area....

I wonder if the park lets you bring in your own skates or will they be considered a "weapon" by security!

[RollerBee]

Well, they shouldn't consider ice skates as weapons unless they consider you a weapon of mass destruction.

In addition to the multitude of holiday cheer at WinterFest, a select number of the park's children's rides and attraction will be open each night.

Isn't there going to be more then one ride running??

The website has only Dora's Azul Adventure running all the time, but that quote from the press release may prove otherwise, it said limited number of attractions each night

Maybe they'll open different things on different days, I'd think it would be cool to see Borg open, and flipping right over all of the holiday decorations!!! :rolleyes:

But I doubt it beats the Flyers and TG in the pouring rain I had last Tuesday, unless they kept it opened during the snow ....

[RollerBee]

I wouldn't count on anything big running. The most I would count on seeing is the Carousel, Scrambler, Dodgems, Flyers, and some kiddy rides.

[CoasterChris]

You never know, A decision has not been made yet about coasters.

[RollerBee]

Too damn cold. Scott even said that they likely WONT be.

"Some children's rides and attractions will be open for WinterFest, but the larger roller coasters likely won't be operating, said Carowinds spokesman Scott Anderson. "It's not as much about the rides as the whole holiday experience," he said."

Well that solves that mystery!

[RollerBee]

It sure does, for once you are good for something.

[bgwfreak]

I also noticed after watching the video that there will be a musical show as well.

I'm glad for a chance to get out of the cold! lol

I can't believe we're talking about Christmas when it was 100 degrees for the high yesterday. lol

[carocrazy]

Does anyone know where I can download the commercial for winterfest?

That's probably all that is on the net right now.

You never know, A decision has not been made yet about coasters.

Really?

And you so were just posting in the thread a few pages back: "Top Gun will be open. " and "Top Gun will be running with one train opperation."

Shouldn't you let the park be making announcements like this
