I can remember being a kid way too small to ride The Racer (It took all my courage to ride The Scooby Doo then my love for coasters was born) and absolutely loved riding Enchanted Voyage. I had been to Disneyland the year before and I was amazed that my home park had something that rivaled the dark rides there. Once Phantom Theater was created, I finally felt like they had put something in that building that was worthy. So, I cannot wait for The Phantom's return!

The Dayton Daily News has written an article about the history of the Enchanted Voyage building. Along with photos from the KIC archives. Enjoy! https://www.daytondailynews.com/lifestyles/from-the-enchanted-voyage-to-phantom-theater-and-boo-blaster-on-boo-hill-the-history-of-kings-islands-dark-rides/C533GATLB5FWVPHLFQSFCGPN44/  

I mean, there would need to be some reconfiguring of the parking lot done whether they're brought back or not. KI's parking lot needs a lot of work as it is beyond just repaving. The easiest solution would just be to have them go up and down the old Columbia Road between the main entrance and Soak City entrance. That would at least provide service to 2-3 stops along the southern part of the parking lot. Doing that much may only require the installation of the station platforms.  Up until this year there were still a few Six Flags parks that still had trams, including Magic Mountain and Over Texas. Parking lot trams would be another good way to improve guest experience at the bigger parks (even if they only ran on weekends) for less money than a coaster or a few new flat rides. They could even be electric if some investments were made to cover part of the parking lot in solar panels (a project that could also be sponsored).

Hey if M&Ms sponsorship keeps it running for a good many more years I'm all for it. I think it would look cool if the main ride was black and then there was a red, yellow, green, and blue pod on each arm

They'd have to reconfigure the front gate/drop off area...plus where would the trams stop? I don't remember where they stopped in the parking lot. At this point of time, it would seem like a higher liability than it previously did. Maybe not...but at least KI is fairly flat compared to SDC and the parking lot is just right there. Trams used to pull right up to the front gate:  Found on Flikr from David Bowers
