Kind of silly to be open for a "Spring Break Week" when Spring Break is all over the place in the area.KD has updated the hours on the website.
January and February the park will be open 10a-5pm every Saturday and Sunday.
March 10a-6pm every Saturday and Sunday.
Looks like regular season will begin Friday, March 31st with hours of 11a-8pm and will be open throughout the following week for Spring Break week. After that Saturdays will return to 10pm closings.
Hanover County, Henrico County and Richmond schools are all on Spring Break that week, so all your local school systems at least.Kind of silly to be open for a "Spring Break Week" when Spring Break is all over the place in the area.
Possibly they could give chef some freedom to come up with some event only non meal plan stuff that would help to simulate the events and offset the cost.I concur. I'm super, super skeptical of this move. Maybe they have some interesting special event(s) planned that could make this worthwhile?
For BGW there was a real argument for January/February ops being a good idea because, even if it wasn't profitable, being open could still reduce off-season losses. That said, with the popularity of the dining and drink plans at Kings Dominion, I can imagine a world where these limited off-season ops could actually increase off-season losses.
I don't know. I can't really imagine this working. I suspect this will be the only chance we have to go to KD in February for at long time. Hopefully they'll prove me wrong though.

Special events and reliance on the culinary department cannot overcome:
1. The weather in the winter in Doswell;
2. The inevitable staffing issues;
3. The weather in the winter in Doswell;
4. The impact on maintenance cycles;
5. The weather in the winter in Doswell;
6. The incredibly limited number of attractions that are likely to be open; and
7. The weather in the winter in Doswell.
What a horrible idea.
Weather wise if BGW is open/closed then KD will probably be open/closed, so that's largely a wash. Big thing this does is keep passholders who might go to BGW and get passes because of the Jan-Mar opportunities from doing so. It's a defensive move, but likely necessary.
