"PKI announced Phantom Theater would cease operation Sunday, July 14th, 2002. "

Oh, really?
"When DAFE first posted the rumor that Phantom Theater would be removed and be replaced by a Sally, Corp. interactive Scooby-Doo darkride over a year before, we didn't expect it to be removed from operation mid-season with virtually no notice. That is exactly what occurred. DAFE got a heads-up about it mere days before it closed. At that time PKI officially confirmed that the rumor was true, they would re-theme Phantom as Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle for 2003."
