Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare New in 2026
Orion-XL200 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
I think so. Worth noting, the building that formerly housed the Pirate Ride not only houses the kids trick or treat house, but it also houses park services. They'd have to find a new location for that if they were to go there. -
Season Pass Complexity and Unfairness
Orion-XL200 replied to The Interpreter's topic in Kings Island
According to guest services, if you were to buy a membership and want to upgrade to a different level (think going from Gold to Prestige), you would lose any $ paid into it (including add ons) and have to start all over again. -
I would 100% support a KD like makeover of the Royal Fountains.

Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare Reviews
Orion-XL200 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island
Glad you finally were able to get a ride on it, I know you were definitely looking forward to it. I wish Willard's audio was a bit louder! -------------------- Going on the comments about the flashlights, I still am wondering how when I rode it (the only one in the opera box) how the other 2 flashlights scored. Haha -
Coastermania is back for 2026
Orion-XL200 replied to Tr0y's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Yes....I think this was a trial to see if it'd fly instead of putting all resources into one day. -
New Event to Debut at Cedar Point
Orion-XL200 replied to Tr0y's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I'd love to see it...but I also don't think it'll happen. I've heard winds of change are happening to last rides of a certain ride in the back of the park. -

Don't forget, the people living around the park have consistently made complaints about late night closures due to sound....it may be viable, but may not. I think it's stupid that people move in and then complain...as if they didn't know. -

Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare Reviews
Orion-XL200 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island
Today is the first time I've opened this thread. I avoided spoilers and POVs from media day. I visited the park for the first time this year, yesterday. I am blown away in all honesty. Hit the ride for Early Entry and the park wasn't too packed, so the wait was not too bad. The only downfall of the queue was the audio...it wasn't loud enough (even with my hearing aids), or people were talking too loud. Seeing it themed and seeing the Maestro up top again was a welcome sight. I loved that the screens in the queue also were not FUNtv. I will admit, I did miss the busts in the windows just before boarding. The audio for the spirits could have been a little bit louder as well. I decided for my first ride, I wanted to do it without trying to score any points and just look at it. It was odd seeing the 2 opera boxes and then a gap, but honestly glad they did that. I loved how immersive everything was from the moment we saw No Legs Larry until the end. I'll skip the play by play. I'd have to say my favorite animatronic was the first time we see Hilda and her hair raised. Some of the scenes did feel a bit far away, so the details were hard to see (being a theater person, I would have loved to look at the tiny details). I rode it again a few hours later and did the game. The flashlights were pretty cool and I enjoyed that they would vibrate when you hit the ghost notes. I enjoyed it enough, that at the end of the night, I did 4 consecutive rides through Fast Lane. Again, was honestly blown away. Great addition for the park! -
Kings Island 2026 Food Reviews and Discussion
Orion-XL200 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island
Tried the breakfast yesterday...it was good. I got the strawberries and cream with cheesy potatoes. The only complaint I have about it, was that French Corner is too small for the demand. I get why they're doing it there, but it definitely could have been served in a different location. After I placed my order I didn't know where to wait...the standing tables in the middle make it look as if there is another line...but then the areas to wait around were too small and felt as if I was in the way. -

It probably will, but they are redesigning the event and/or just bringing Coastermania back. -
Holiday In The Park Returns To 2 Parks
Orion-XL200 replied to Orion-XL200's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I'm honestly guessing it came between do we bring back entertainment or Winterfest? Sure, ChristmasTown likely played into the decision too. -
Yesterday, Kings Dominion announced the return of in park Live Entertainment (while they had some, it lacked). Today, 2 parks have Holiday In The Park returning. If you got to talk with the new CEO and he asked what you'd like to see come back to KI, what are your top 3 choices? Ideally, you're responses would be realistic and "easily" attainable and most likely not a major attraction.

Kings Island General Discussion 2026
Orion-XL200 replied to Losantiville Mining Co.'s topic in Kings Island
As it is now and when Winterfest returned, as Winterfest Way (with the blow molds and that animated tree) was/is the best. -
I will continue to say that the merchandise is priced too high....I'd venture to say, they'd sell even more if the prices were brought down. Do I buy a $48 shirt (spitballing atm) or do I buy a snack at Sweetspot for much less?

@brenthodge thank you for sharing those links...not sure why I didn't see them, as I follow the page. But, love the updates that they are doing to this ride!
