Learning from the incredibly quick turnover from last year. Quite a few lights were left in their places after last year's Winterfest and went the entire season without being touched, most notably on some buildings in I-Street.

Racer 75 is out, but Twisted Timbers is in (that wasn't running last year, right?):

I think you put this in last years, 2018, folder. There is a 2019 folder below the Haunt one. Might see if the moderators will move this over for you.Racer 75 is out, but Twisted Timbers is in (that wasn't running last year, right?):

Kinda surprised that Americana wasn't on last year.
Hopefully whatever weather kinks Twimbers had in 2018 got worked out, unless they intend to only operate it in temps above 40 degrees.

It hasn't valleyed (nor overrun the brakes) since those early on issues, so they seem to have a better handle on how it will operate in different conditions.
I've never ridden it because it's just a ferris wheel, but for Winterfest? It'll get some good views of the lights from higher up, so I'll ride it.
On Sunday it looked like the park has already finished putting up lights on almost all the trees in Old Virginia, International Street, and Candy Apple Grove, and there’s light show control boxes all over the park already. Seems like they’re way ahead of schedule compared to last year.
Uh... Maybe Kings Dominion needs to hire a new new head chef...
I think BGW beat them to that...
Also, how is that in any way related to the Holidays?

Here's to hoping Chef Dennis makes the actual burger meat edible for a change 
I can see why KD got started on Winterfest decor early. Given this year's operating calendar, the event starts the weekend before Thanksgiving and operates on Tues & Wed before Turkey day. Plus, the park is open New Years Day. That is 5 more operating days than last year. In addition, Winterfest opens at 4 pm on almost all Saturdays and select Fridays until daily operations start. Many of the weekdays leading up to Christmas and New Years are 4 pm openings instead of 5pm.
KD released a new blog entry concerning the food for Winterfest. There is going to be a LOT of new/revised food offerings in the park (not just the doughnut burger).
Some Highlights include:
Using the KD Food truck to have several new food items offered (Winterfest Way)
New food offerings in Victoria Gardens (11 Pipers Piping?)
Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
Gingerbread Sundae
You can check it out here Winterfest Food Offerings

The Apple Fries sound tasty. Actually a bunch of these new items do.
