I of course rode Phantom Theater back in the day but would for sure like to see it come back. As I am sure most people would and it does have a chance of returning. I never rode Son of Beast but I do own one of its structure bolts and I also have stood on its track. With parks permission of course.

Has anybody else seen Phantom Theater stuff at Haunt? And also where exacly in Madame Fatales is the Phantom Theater cannon? I know its in the museum section, but is that a part of the maze or queue line?

Glad you had a great time and also happy that you got to see those Phantom Theater faces, they are super cool to look at! I always wondered why they kept them in there and also why they dont recreate the effect. Unfortuanatly if a Peanuts dark ride gets put in they will probaly remove them permantly. Glad you had fun., MaestroJr

I really want to see the Cannon I love Phantom.

Which part of the maze is the museum? And is the cannon just on the floor or something or is it propped up?

Anything in particular? What Phantom Theater props are being used in Cavern of Terror? And where?

Anything else out this year? Like the Phantom Theater mouse from last year in Board to Death or are there any Phantom Theater props in Madame Fatales like usual?

Nice trip report ghostguy, yeah the Days of Thunder cars are next to Firehawk in a field I'm pretty sure. You can see them from Firehawk's queue. Sorry you didnt see the Phantom Theater spooky faces, guess there is always next time! Ill be sure to take pictures of them and any other Phantom Theater stuff when I go up there in a couple of weeks, ,MaestroJr

Sorry to start a similar thread to last years. Just wanted to know what Phantom Theater stuff is being used this year for Haunt? Any pictures, comments or anything is welcome. Just would like to know so Ill know which mazes to go on this year to see that stuff. Really just want to know what Phantom stuff people have seen at Haunt this year and on what mazes or if any of them are out on display this year. Or if any Phantom stuff has been added. Thanks!

Yes, Phantom unlike Boo Blasters was full of great visial effects as well as a well themed story. And I remember it as very cold and had and still has a very unique smell to it. They would be wise to bring something similar to it back. As most of us who enjoyed Phantom and also some of the kids that I hear in line today do not like the modern ride. Boo Blasters would be okay if it had Boocifer-like animatronics, no cardboard, no guns, and also better themed story. I never understood why they wont put Boocifer in the Maestro's queue line balcony. As he fits the role. It looks awful the way it is now and the Funtvs make no since either. And also covering up the Phantom faces in the hallway is rubbish also. Its like they are embarresed of they're past. I hope so much that in the coming season or so they will either remake Phantom or make a Great Pumpkin themed dark ride. Anything spooky and well done. No cardboard or guns. Just you and the ride. Thats the way it should be for the fans of the past and the new fans of the future. But thats just my two-cents. Also they need some Pepper's Ghost as that was a cool effect. And take those stupid boards off the Phantom Theater faces they need and wish to be seen and enjoyed again. Long live Dark Rides!

Yeah that actually is a really good name. Maybe theyll use that if they remake Phantom. P.S. I really hope they do!

That sounds awesome a Maestro fog screen. I too would love to see a Phantom Theater return as I sincerely loved the original. Though being realistic it will probably be Great Pumpkin themed. It would be spooky but also great for kids. I would love either one. But I feel as though Phantom would be out of place and a Peanuts ride makes more since in the current Boo Blasters building. As for using The Crypt building for Phantom that's a possibility.

Your right BoddaH1994 they weren't ment to be outside though I wish they would display the cannon or mummy or gargoyle, maybe even the centurion the ones that weren't animatronics but rather stone figures. And no Italian Job 2005 the ride didn't stop at all, and yes the kid had to run back to his car but he jumped right in.

I don't think so, one time I literally saw someone get of the ride and try and touch the mummy at the beginning of the ride.

Hopefully though some of the Phantom Theater props will be used during Haunt this year.

Yeah they're pretty much the same character except one is a magician and one is a stunt performer. Man all this talk of Phantom makes me miss it more everyday. But at least we still have a dark ride that's fairly spooky and "decent" but it's still no where near Phantom or Enchanted Voyage.

And also not sure if the first post worked, but some really immature teens would try and break the characters fingers or steal props from the ride. That really (pardon my French) ticked me off.

And also, adding on to what terp said, guest in the queue would throw food at Maestro. And also when riding I remember seeing spit and gum on the glass during scenes on the ride like the beginning portraits and Peppers Ghost scene, where immature kids would spit there gum on. Us who really loved the ride hated to see it like that in Phantoms later years, and the park rarely cleaned it up.

Not from what I can remember, I think those two just had that scene in the beginning. Although I seem to remember Lionel being in the Peppers Ghost scene. Sorry my memory is foggy, the last time I rode Phantom was 2002 and by then most of the original effects had stopped working correctly. Like during one ride The furnace guys arm fell off. Lots of times during its final seasons the ride would stop halfway through or some of the characters would be missing arms,legs, or even heads. It fell apart like all great rides do. If by some miracle this year they get the animatronics out for Haunt like they used to, you can clearly see the shape they're in. Also the furnace from Phantom is used on Slaughterhouse and the Phantom Mouse on Board to Death.

Well basically during this scene all the characters from the theater are doing their speciality acts. Maestro is on the organ, Garbonzo shoots out of the cannon. Hodelini is floating while doing his magic trick, Helga Bolvine is singing, there is audience members watching the scene looking down in the balcony, and basically thats it. There is also a castle in the background and a couple of other props but basically during the peppers ghost scene, the characters just do they're acts. Hope that helped you some and if you have any more questions on Phantom, I'm sure me or someone else can answer it. Thanks!, Maestro

And also you should look for the Phantom Theater faces in Boo Blasters queue hallway. My profile pic is one of them I took a picture of this year when I rode Boo Blasters.

Welcome to KIC, love the avatar. Like many of us I love Phantom Theater and you should also check out my PT haunt forum along with my Boo Blasters TLC forum. I read that you never got to experience Phantom, well I promise you it was a very special ride and hopefully in the near future we will have something like it. I will try to explain the Peppers Ghost trick. It was one of my favorite scenes. Basically you have a big glass mirror and the characters stood above and below the glass. And also the canon and other props were placed there. Basically what your seeing is the reflection which appears to make the characters float. the video on Youtube doesn't do it justice. You really had to see it in person to get the full affect. I hope that helped you some. Just a memory of mine that I thought I'd share. There is lots of Phantom Theater stuff still floating around today. Especially during Haunt. If you look around there's lots of stuff in the mazes. I knew right when I saw this post I would try to answer it off my memory of the ride. Hope this helped you and I hope for a Phantom-like ride in the near future. Thanks!, Maestro.

Boo Blasters not working seems to be a recurring thing. It worked alright when I rode it, I rode it 5 times in a row, the skelton chasing scene was not working and neither were most of the props. But one scene that always has worked is the final spooky skelton scene. I dont remember that ever not working like its supposed to.

Imagine a Phantom Theater 3D ride, now that would be radtastic.

Yeah I havent seen them in a few seasons either. And the sign is gone too I think. What was the point of them anyway? Did they make the ride any better? I remember seeing them but not caring to buy them.
