Riding One of the Best Wooden Coasters at Kings Island's Winterfest! Mystic Timbers Night Rides Vlog

Join us for an evening at Kings Island's Winterfest, where we'll be checking out the progress on their new Vekoma Family Boomerang, checking out all the lights, and of course riding our favorite GCI coaster, Mystic Timbers! This was our first time riding it in the winter, and it was running fantastic! It made us wonder...does it run better in the cold, or in the heat?

    I like Kings Islands Winter fest, but it just bothers me that there are only two coasters open. I know that there are problems with the weather during winter, but at Carowinds, Fury is open, so Diamondback could possibly be open. Other than that, Winterfest at Kings Island is still amazing.

    I wish they would have the Racer open too. Hell, even the Beast if there's no snow. Seriously though, how does Mystic feel the same in December, as it does in July? I love it. I'm about 3 1/2 hours away, and we make several trips to winterfest every year. The kids love it. We do the ice skating, and decorating cookies with Mrs Clause, hell, we do it all. I REALLY miss the petting zoo they did. Those were actually the animals from the CP petting zoo, not all of them, but at least my camels were there. Sam and Artie are the best.

Glad you all had a nice time despite the crowds and thanks for sharing!

    Orion and Banshee might be able to handle winterfest. Diamondback can't because the splashdown is part of the breaking mechanism, and a freeze would be problematic to put it lightly. Also imagine how it would ruin someone's time if they wound up in the splashzone in the cold of winterfest. That's just my guess. Diamondback will never be added to winterfest though because of that, even if they decided to make it enthusiast oriented.

    CF didn't run rides beyond manufacturer's specs so a B&M wouldn't go below 40 in any case, e.g Banshee. I wonder if there is any chance that could change, although not many ex-CF parks are as far north and operable for Winterfest. Def. could have helped KD this week though.

    @@spentron1 If Nitro at their sister park and Candymonium can run in the winter, so could Banshee and Orion. Even if they required fitting. Diamondback isn't going to happen though because of the splashdown. That said I wouldn't be surprised if Diamondback related to why they won't spend the money for it. Winterfest is plenty successful as is, they'd probably be spending more money than they'd get back.

    I haven't watched this yet or rode that coaster yet. But like 3 years ago I went to Hersheypark Christmas candy Lane and rode the original wildcat in the cold twice and both times it was amazing. Totally smooth and enjoyable. GCIs or wooden coasters in general must ride better in the cold and or eliminates any roughness. Although I understand the coaster you're talking about doesn't normally have that much roughness to begin with! By the way i was in your six flags america superman on ride reaction bug in the face video from 2 years ago lol. I was on the train like 6 rows back. And saw you guys in the station and all.

    Awesome guys! If I had to add three things to Winterfest, I'd.... 1) Open up Adventure Express, put Santa hats on the monyets at the end, and when they move their arms at the end, tie gift boxes on it because that would be cute AF. 2) The Pirate Ship, dress up a life-sized Santa and put it in the seating and in the background via soundtrack, have that thing scream "Harr Harr Harr" instead of "Ho ho ho pimp hoe like the real Santa. This Santa will have a peg leg, Santa hat, grey beard, a massive dong, and a parrot. It would be wicked as sh*t" 3) Open up the Charlie Brown Race log flume, but instead of water, have it on ice, when you hit the bottom, you get blasted with a dusting of snow. That would be sick as a bastard. Winterfest looks sweet though. Good work
