More WinterFest information has been announced! The link to the blog post is below, but I'll go over the new information! https://kingsdominion.com/blog/2018/7.25-christmas-in-july
WinterFest Hours: Opening night is November 23rd from 5-10pm and operates on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays until December 9th. "Daily" operation begins December 14th (with the park closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day), and beginning December 21st, the park opens an hour earlier at 4pm. The most interesting detail is that WinterFest operates from 4pm to 1am on New Year's Eve, which may mean that the park might do something special on that night to ring in 2019. I'm not sure if any other Cedar Fair parks have done this before.
Ice Skating on Snowflake Lake, baking cookies with Mrs. Claus, and the 300 foot Christmas tree have all already been revealed. However, it looks like Kings Dominion will be getting THREE trees; in addition to the 300 foot one, we're getting a 70 foot and a 40 foot Christmas tree. I assume one will be inside the park for the lighting ceremony and the other will be at the front gate. Not sure which one will go where, though.
Santa Claus is visiting each night and there will be performances on the Holly Jolley Trolley, which will be travelling around the park each night.
Tinker's Toy Factory and Cole Yule Christmas will be coming to the park as part of the event's long list of shows for the season (I think I heard we would be getting 13 shows... WOW.). Not sure if Holly Jolley Trolley will count as a show or not, but the other two shows have been at other WinterFest events.
Appearances from Jack Frost, the Sugar Plum Fairy, the PEANUTS gang, and many more characters will roam the midways!
Exclusive Christmas merchandise (including Snoopy Santa dolls!) will fill the stores and there will be handmade gifts at Crafter's Corner.
BUT WAIT! Even MORE information will be announced soon enough! Only 121 days until WinterFest!
