Kings Island’s annual WinterFest will be kicking off on select nights from November 24 – December 31 with various fun and festive activities for the whole family. Here are some of the new experiences coming to WinterFest 2023 at Kings Island:
More Lights
The park will add two million LED lights to WinterFest this season, bringing the total count to more than seven million holiday lights. This includes additional theming in Rivertown Wonderland, and previously undecorated trees and spaces throughout the park.
Two New WinterFest Rides
This year our new rides, Cargo Loco and Sol Spin will be included in the WinterFest rides line-up. That means the park will have more than 20 rides operating each evening.
Holly Jolly Trolley
Located near Kings Mills Antique Autos, guests will be able to tour Tinsel Town and Coney Elf Mall aboard the Holly Jolly Trolley in 2023.
New Location for Songs of the Nativity
Previously known as Sounds of the Nativity, the popular show will now be located near the entrance of Boo Blasters in Planet Snoopy. Its previous location is under construction as we prepare to open Camp Snoopy in 2024. The show also will feature a new stage set.
WinterFest Wonderland Parade Slight Route Change
The parade will essentially follow the same route but will first go down the south (Sweet Spot) side of International Street before circling around to the north (Starbucks) side of the street.
Adventure Port Restaurants re-themed
Adventure Port officially be the park’s 12th winter wonderland. In addition to the new rides, Adventure Port’s restaurants have been re-themed for holidays.
Jack Frost’s Liquid Libations
This popular stop was previously located in Oktoberfest, but has moved to a new location in Action Zone.
