If Tumbili can operate with literal snow falling, I’d count that as “low temps”.
Kings Dominion Kills WinterFest
- Thread starter Celticdog
- Start date
There is a temp bottom for Tumbili but history has shown us it's lower then many other coasters say it ran in the snow is no exaggeration it literally was showing decently on it's opening day and still ran for a while.
I’m not sure about fury, but Mystic 100% does. I rode it when it was 21° outside. My understanding is Mystic needs it to be at least 34° to start operating. Once it starts operating, it cane run until it’s 3° outside.
Thats absolutly wild. And busch closes their stuff at 40. Mainly invadr
Yep. Pantheon's limit I know for a fact is 41.
Anyway, Winterfest cancellation. I mean, I've only been once, so I can't say too much about it, but it was pretty cool.
Yeah, technically Loch Ness monster was given no closing temperature when it opened, but they still close at 40.
It's probably easier to just close all the coasters at 40 degrees than try and constantly explain to guests why some are open and some not.
Once again sharing this outdated 2022 chart.
I would consider 34 & 38 to be low temps. But it seems you know more current policy since my time there. The issue with opening up Jungle X IMO is the fact that it is 90% rollercoasters. when it does drop in temp, there would be little to visit and do.

If you saw Six Flags Over Texas’ completely redone lineup for their Holiday in the Park and thought, “Hey, that looks awfully familiar,” it’s because it is.
And if you’re wondering, “Hey, I wonder where Six Flags sent all of that Christmas stuff after they cancelled WinterFest at KD,” then ponder no further.

Just really quick, based on the map, what can you confirm arrived from Kings Dominion? Was there a particular show with props that they had at KD that is now at SFOT?
Tinker's Toy Factory
The Milestones
Holly Jolly Trolley
Misses Claus Kitchen
North Pole Post office
St Nick's Pics
Midway Merriment
Could just be the park adopted the same names. There's probably a chance some props made their way down there too, however many parks do save scenery that is not being used to resurface again at a later date or be repurposed. I at least know, having worked there, Great Adventure and TGE do this.

Pictures online look very familiar.
Shoot, I was holding out hope KD would save their decorations for use at their Winterfest if it resurfaces at a later date.
Well atbleast some are still hanging in trees. Unfortunately in torn and decrepit condition.
And others were trashed, as we know.
Would it have been possible, instead of Winterfest, to just have international street open with the skating rink, Lighting on Eiffel tower, food/drinks, Santa Pictures, etc. I think some money could've been made.
