Another swing and miss for Coney.

Probably for that green Intamin Giga YoungStud promised us a few years ago.

Great stuff! Thanks so much for sharing!

Excited to hear some first reactions!

Is this something I buy tickets for? Or just show up and pay at the park?

They’re great snapshots of history! Haven’t read them in a while.

This was probably 10+ years ago, but I remember reading a piece about the closure of the ride. There was a tour before it was removed and I think there was a “raffle” where a POV was given to one of the attendees. So maybe it’s the same video? Totally guessing. Edit: Found the article. http://www.dafe.org/articles/darkrides/phantomPharewell.html And here’s a bonus for anyone interested! https://www.dafe.org/articles/darkrides/phantomTheater.html

If there’s a time to bring this ride back, now is the time.

Instant buy. Sure is a lot of PT related stuff flying around as of late.

Appreciate all the hard work being put into the site. Loved checking out all the old audio!

Don’t tease me like that. Been thinking about this for a while now. Haha.

Update from tonight.

Oh, I don’t even think they would’ve touched it. It probably would’ve deteriorated to the point where they would’ve closed the ride without a replacement. One of the reasons I think Boo Blasters looks as “good” as it does, is because CF had an easily re-skinnable attraction in SDATHC. That was Cedar Fair then, though. Now, I truly believe that Cedar Fair (and general park management) is capable of maintaining an attraction of that caliber. Whether they would choose to do so is a different story. But recent additions show that they aren’t afraid of detail or theming. But I do fear something to the tune of what’s at Knott’s now with their rebooted Beary Tales attraction. There’s a place for screens in dark rides, but not to that extent.

Looks delicious. For some reason, I’m in love with the Dinosaurs Alive turkey wing bucket.

Well, I’ve been waiting for that POV since 2003. That took me back. Wow. Can’t help but marvel at how cool that ride was. It’s a shame it isn’t still around. Looking forward to the show and the continued use of PT in the park.
