Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare New in 2026
Orion742 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Personally I’m the opposite. I don’t want it to get spoiled. I want to see it all for the first time when I ride in spring 2026. -
Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
Orion742 replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
It’s a cloned model off of Vekoma’s website. The ride shown in the survey is also not a multi launch. Our’s would likely be custom. If it’s a Vekoma multi launch I’m all for it! I’ve got my eyes on 2028. Vekoma ghostrider used in the survey https://www.vekoma.com/sitdown-thrill-coasters/ghostrider -
I think I’m speaking for 99% of guests when I say we’d rather have a Vekoma tilt coaster over a B&M dive. Vekoma tilt coasters are more intimidating in my opinion. They’re also smoother and more comfortable. I still think a Vekoma tilt would be perfect for KI even after Siren’s Curse at Cedar Point.

Did they let you in Cedar Point?

Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026

Six Flags Great America just announced their announcement for next Thursday. I expect other parks will do the same in the coming days. -
Is Kings Island Becoming a Mid-tier Park?
Orion742 replied to DiamondbackFanboy's topic in Kings Island
After visiting many other Cedar Fair/Six Flags parks I’ve come to the realization that I don’t give KI enough credit. It has a special feel that no other park in the chain can match. That’s why I don’t see it falling down the chain anytime soon no matter what Six Flags does to it. -
Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026
Orion742 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
I’m okay with the smaller investments the park has been receiving in the past few years. They’ve touched up some weaker parts of the park and made them look very nice. I wouldn’t mind if we got something like a madhouse in the Crypt building for 2026. I think another indoor attraction is always a win. Plus Rivertown doesn’t have any flat rides. My hope is that they touch up Action Zone in 2027 and give it a retheme. Then come 2028 I think it’ll be time to replace Vortex. I’d love to see a large scale Mack launch coaster similar to Stardust Racers. Maybe not dueling but make it bigger than one side of Stardust Racers. Stardust Racers has a height requirement of 48 inches which is perfect and I think they could do so much with a Mack multi launch coaster in that plot of land. Maybe 2-3 inversions. If it takes them a long time to find a worthy world class coaster to replace Vortex I have no problem waiting. -
Did they replace River Racers ERT with a bubble show preview at 7?

They could have been surveying for an attraction in the Crypt building maybe not the coaster itself. -
I think the family thrill attraction for 2026 will go in the Crypt building. Maybe further down the line (2027, 2028) they’ll update Boo Blasters. I know Mike has expressed interest in updating Boo Blasters for a while so I’m sure they’ve had some conversations about it.

Mystic permits were filed in early June of 2016 if I’m not mistaken.

I 100% agree! I think it would be perfect for that plot of land. I can picture it just towering over the back half of Action Zone as you walk in.

Kings Dominion: Pantherian question
Orion742 replied to Vortex1987's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I hope you’re going later in the year because I’m hearing it might not be open until mid June at the earliest. -
I saw Mystic running back in early March with all 3 trains.

Looks like it’s replacing Paradise Island.
