As someone who works at the park looking into the lounge, I honestly don't see the point. When I go to any park, I'm looking to ride coasters and other attractions, and when I need to rest a shaded bench or train ride works for me. I don't know what else the prestige pass has to offer outside of the lounge and preferred parking. Maybe there's a difference in priorities between when I'm visiting the park and when prestige holders are. I mean this in no disrespect to anyone who has bought a prestige pass, maybe someone can shed some light on what I'm missing

The Peanuts company wants to keep Planet Snoopy exclusively Peanuts

I absolutely agree with the voicelines. I think Larry at the beginning is also noticeable. I think more voicelines and having the animatronics run on a loop instead of being triggered would work nicely. I believe they’re triggered because SDR is more familiar with that style of dark ride instead of the omnimover. It seems constantly running animatronics are better suited for the omnimover.

I have also noticed some effects not functioning. I fully believe it's kinks that will be worked out as season goes on.

I was very impressed and pleased with it when I rode on Thursday. I feel the production quality is very high and the flashlights are very cool; the real time tracking is great. I think it is important to keep in mind that this is a brand-new effects based ride. They are still working out the volume of music and sounds effects, how to keep the flashlights consistently working and keeping all the effects inside the ride consistent

Monster is cycling

All of these photos and video are coming from media day, it was held early this morning

Having so many programmable LED show lights can be a challenge to keep functioning, especially ones that are kept outside and are in hard to reach or annoying places. In personal experience, it only takes one signal pin to get corroded or lose connection for a light to completely change color or get out of sync with show programming.

I have a strong reason to believe this ride will be a hit and fan favorite

Circled in the photo is wall, it was there when it was Boo Blasters

I like the building expansion idea, however, is a large steep hill directly behind the building. The service road on the back of the building goes down this hill and connects to the basement so I don’t know how practical expansion would be

I’m glad someone finally said it. It’s old news at this point, I think they should retire it and come up with a new event.

Perfect thank you, I'm sure many have noticed that these ghosts look very different and the auction site reveals that the they are made more of a plywood. I wonder if Kings Island themselves made these figures and not Sally

Does anyone have pictures or video of the ghosts that were in the queue of Boo Blasters? These cutouts were later moved into the cemetery at the beginning of the ride. I'd love to see a video of them in the queue again.

Me too, I wonder how much some stuff will be on the last day. Some items still don't have a bid.

The bid for the score board is already up to $515, I assumed it would be one of the highest bid items.

The building between Abyss and the water tower is a rides maintenance building

I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to a return of Kenton's Cove Keelboat Canal in that area. It could be incorporated into Rivertown in some way.

For me half the excitement for the upcoming season is seeing all the mini upgrades done around the park to make it a nicer place. Stuff like during the 50th they redid the walls of Racer's station to remove the chainlink fencing and put in a more permanent looking wall.

What would Plague Productions be doing on this project? I thought Sally did all the set design and fabrication themselves. Would Plague Productions just be doing install or would they also help with fabrication?

Off season and college are killing me, and I need phantom theater updates

I’ve seen a lot of discussion between fans about KIs additions over the past few years, some praise and a lot of downing. I personally have been a fan of what KI has been doing. In 2022 50th celebration with new shows and park improvements, 2023 Adventure Port, 2024 Camp Snoopy, 2025 River Racers and 2026 Phantom Theater. While these additions aren’t a crazy new coaster, they’re great improvements and additions to areas of the park that were lacking. KI is bound to get a new coaster eventually, but why hate on these small additions that make the park better?

I don’t know how much weight the roof of that building can hold, since it’s over 50 years old. It was likely just designed to hold snow and I don’t see KI investing in a solar array. I would love to see the return of the compass though

I think this is a fantastic idea. I would love to see the return of the eagles in the orange area.

I am very excited for this ride, I believe it has potential to be one of the best rides at Kings Island
