IndyGuy4KI Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 With the 50th anniversary coming up, we need to update the main pages current remnants page. It has not been updated in some time, and either needs removed or updated. I want this to be the members site, so we will use this thread to allow KIC members to post what they see for this year, and I will update that page on the main site. For it to be added to the main site's page, please provide a pic of what you see and we will use that as the resource for the new entry. We can also validate old entries or prove them inaccurate at this point. Lets have fun with this! https://kicentral.com/parkhistory/historical-facts/current-remnants-of-past-attractions/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I’m just spit firing here but: A lot of the queue structures for Orion consists of old Firehawk queue. This includes the greeter booth, which was Firehawk’s photo booth. The parking lot marquis was originally designed to look like the entrance gate to Paramount Studios. The structure has been modified but it is still apparent as to what it was. The Action FX Theater is still standing and was used as a Haunt until 2019. There is a tech services workshop under it. Part of the Dinosaurs Alive! trail is still in the woods by Orion. The Dinos and electronics have all been removed but the path and rope handrails remain intact. There are still stickers in many of the food locations windows saying, “Mobile ordering coming soon!” from when the park thought they were going to try to pull off mobile ordering. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIEagle33 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 We must not forget the old SOB station. Formerly used for the Wolfpack haunted house during Haunt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaestroJr Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Well obviously thanks to Phantom Theater Encore, we know now the remnants of Phantom Theater that still exist. The scrim portrait for Maestro and Garbonzo. Great Garbonzos canon Mirror and background prop from Helga Bolvine Signage from around the ride and theater Maestro and Houdlinis head, no word on what happened to the rest of the animatronics. Mummy Sarcophagus Shakespearean actor Hallway busts Furnace is in Slaughterhouse Original Model for ride OG Ride Cars Think that’s about it, if Im missing anything feel free to add 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I will second the Firehawk remanants. While waiting in line for Flight of Fear (didn't ride as the line was crawling...), I happened to see the old staircase that would lead to the other half of Firehawk's station. Feel free to use this picture as part of the remnants section of KIC's photo gallery; you have my permission! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More impressively, you are correct about all of the other stuff. That’s all original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More impressively, you are correct about all of the other stuff. That’s all original. The two scrim portraits in the lobby are original. They were discovered in the basement of the Action Theater IIRC. As far as the stage, Garbanzo’s cannon and the mummy case are from the ride. One of the vases on stage is from the Prop Room—it was right next to the mummy. Not sure about the other stuff on the stage, but those items I know for sure are original! 8 hours ago, MaestroJr said: Maestro and Houdlinis head, no word on what happened to the rest of the animatronics.

I don’t recall anything else on stage being original (except the vase?), if I remember, I’ll ask if there’s anything else when I’m back at work later this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I knew the scrims were original is I talked to one of the guys on the show and he said they were original and had been refurbished. Plus if you look at them they have a few nicks which suggest their age. As far as the cannon and mummy, I know they were in Madame Fatales last year and I figured they just moved them from there and will probably move them back to the maze this year. I’m actually quite impressed though with those scrims, the fact that they look like replicas shows you they did a great job refurbishing them. In any case hopefully we continue to see more things from the ole Phantom Theater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 That's really cool that the sarcophagus in Madame's was from Phantom Theater. Where was the cannon in the maze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even had it live for a bit at the Festhaus. The receipt is still loaded into my KI app from when I used it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
