Presumably Gold and Prestige pass holders will receive house admission for free as a pass benefit (Kings Dominion has been advertising and selling those passes to customers as being Haunt-inclusive...), but we don't have direct evidence of how this change impacts pass holders yet.

It literally feels like this decision is Six Flags is throwing in the towel in Virginia. Christmas events are a huge here with both WinterFest and Christmas Town regularly seeing large crowds. I hope Kings Dominion feels the pain of this decision for years to come. They'll deserve it.

And for the record, Kings Dominion owes anyone who bought a Kings Dominion 2025 season pass and any KD 2025 season pass addon product significant compensation. These products were bought with the promise of WinterFest and its inclusion was a very notable portion of the value proposition for many.

As far as we know, Berserker will run this weekend, but the lack of an announcement from KD regarding its imminent closure is very disappointing. Hopefully anyone who loves the ride will be able to make it out there before the end of Winterfest to enjoy this classic one last time!

Completely agree. I hate the community's tendency to suddenly decide closing/defunct coasters were excellent when we have years of public opinion to show otherwise. Hoped to inoculate this story from some of that by citing Anaconda's comically poor Captain Coaster ranking in the article.
