Mystic Timbers was hauling ass Friday and Saturday for how cold it was. I swear that baby runs better at winterfest than any other time of the season and I can’t explain it. 10 rides Friday night and 3 rides Saturday! Snagged a ride on Blue Racer Saturday night at 9 before they closed due to dropping temps and snow. A great addition to winterfest, it just feels appropriate and like it always should’ve been in the line up.

I was surprised but happy to see Flight of Fear running 2 trains! I guess they’re confident on maintenance turnaround or they’re planning on removing one further into December.

The chilly weather and light snow has made for a great start to Winterfest ride experiences if you ask me! The cold crisp air combined with the beautiful winterfest lights give rides a unique twist from the regular season. I will say my only complaint is please dear god give 12 days of Christmas some love, baby girl had so many lights out. Love the train but those lights should be working, especially opening weekend. Otherwise, a great start to Winterfest 2024!
