Are they removing the FunTVs from the que? I'd really hope so, honestly it took away the haunted house vibe that Boo Blasters tried to have, I'd be 100% fine with just hearing the Maestro and No Legs Larry talk in the que as well as the eerie music being played. Boo Blasters used to do that in the early 2010s but it was replaced by the FunTVs for some odd reason. I'm hoping its a little darker in the que too.

Seeing this set piece in Episode 2 is really getting me excited!

The sounds of the Dippin Dots guy spilling the beans of whats going to be in the old Vortex lot in the future...

Whos counting down til midnight for Phantom Theater Episode 2? (Oh and also the new year...)

I'm wondering if this is already in the ride and they put him in the Santa suit just for this picture.

In the early 2010s they did have scare actors that popped out and scared guests on the ride during Haunt, however I heard guests complained about that so it was very brief.

Me waiting for Kings Island to open so I can ride Phantom Theater Opening Nightmare be like: 119 days to be exact...

Honestly for me anything Eggnog flavored is a win!

As excited as I am, I hope Kings Island doesn't reveal too much; I want to be surprised the first time I enter the ride building. So if I don't make it opening day, I'm going to avoid all POV spoilers which I'm sure some people will post.

Each new sneak peek of the animatronics are getting me more and more excited!

Sadly I don't think we'll be able to make it for WinterFest... due to our busy holiday schedule but next year for sure!

Yep I was there and I heard that a lot!

I wonder if the gum chewing is a nod to the original ride when guests would spit their gum on the glass in the Peppers Ghost scene, which is something I vaguely remember. Nowadays I would hope there would be consequences for such behavior.

I'm hoping the purple castle goes away, I mean I loved it for when it was Scooby-Doo and fit the theming perfectly, and it sort of worked for Boo Blasters (with some minor adjustments) but as time went on it just became an eyesore. I would like to see a new entrance thats just not another re-skin of Scooby-Doo.

Alright I have to say this, I love the new Maestro animatronic and it looks a lot more lively and more detailed than the original and I'm loving the realistic movements of the new Maestro animatronic, as much as I love the original Phantom Theater which I grew up riding... I think this is going to be a much better improvement!

This was truly amazing! Honestly I would have to say the animatronics look a lot better now then before, this is getting me even more excited than before!

That would be interesting if KI could pull that off.

When the Coke Station in Rivertown was actually open...

I'm predicting an animatronic sneak peek tomorrow either Maestro or No Legs Larry or possibly some new props nonetheless I'm excited!

Guest at WinterFest last year: "Why don't they make the water warmer so Soak City can be open all year long?"

Thank you! I was trying to figure out the same thing, about if the eyes were drilled or not. That gives me more hope for those to return, unless they decide to block off those openings.

I'd hope so too. I used to shine my phone to see the remnants.

We are number 2 now!

I would love it if they had a gift shop with a PT area, along with artifacts of the original ride, also an extended que in the Peanuts showcase is a good idea.

Gotta love the chain lift sound on The Beast!
