See you Friday! Almost here, dude!

I don’t know what I, whom is trying to avoid any new spoilers in the last ~38 hours before I’ll get to experience it, expected when I clicked on this. As such I’ll probably be offline until Friday (not that anyone asked), but like it’s still so surreal that this attraction I’ve been so obsessed with for 15+ years is finally returning which such a loving tribute. I’m so excited to finally be able to experience this world, as I never got to ride the original. I think from what I’ve seen so far, this is possibly the best dark ride KI or any six flags park has ever had. Hopefully by Friday I’m not proven wrong.

Must be from the "cancelled" photo shoot. 😉

Looking good but who are those lucky people?!

Beyond impressed.

I'm going in with limited expectations though. I'm guessing I'll only ride 2-4 rides all day. But I'll be happy even if I just get to ride Phantom Theater. Going on Opening Day for me isn't about getting on every ride, it's about taking in the atmosphere and revisiting the theme park I love most! May we all have a great KI 2026 Opening Day!!!

I like the popcorn and musical note tie-ins to the new attraction. Hopefully Sweet Spot will feature other Phantom Theater items this year with cookies shaped like the ghost notes or spellbound flashlights.

So we are only a day away from passholder preview how have they not released the meal plan items and menu for all locations I find that kind of ridiculous. With very little too no new food items announced for this year the dining experience is starting too worry me if it’s gonna take a hit this year. Thoughts ?

I don't know about you guys, but I feel like I've literally been waiting to ride it for more than a year. It's been crazy.

I’m getting hungry….

I know I'm just joking around about the fact that if the line isn't long you still end up waiting a bit for it because of the loading procedure. I think I've seen loading of 2, 3, 4, and 6 arms in the past depending on crowd levels at the park

If the line is short they intentionally only load one or 2 arms just to balance it.

Does monster ever have a short line? Even with one que full you have to wait like 30 minutes for it haha

yes appears most of the tubs are on. If open, this weekend I would expect long lines there as well......

So we are only a day and a half away from passholder preview how have they not released the meal plan items and menu for all locations I find that kind of ridiculous. With very little too no new food items announced for this year the dining experience is starting too worry me if it’s gonna take a hit this year. We shall see

They are putting the tubs on right now

Anything out of the usual that you have heard about opening day? Totally agree though even if something goes wrong move on. It is not the end all be all of your day. Do not let your day get off track because of a small mishap. Recover and move on with your life!

Headed to Kings Island this weekend? Have a good day—if you choose to. Most days, whether it's a good one or not is up to us. Some things during your visit will be beyond the park's control, but how you respond to them will ultimately decide the kind of day you have.

It's almost time to raise the curtain....
