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!

Vote For Kings Island For Best Theme Park Holiday Event! I already voted, currently as of this post... Kings Island is ranked #3, lets make Kings Island number 1! https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/winterfest-kings-island-mason-ohio/?fbclid=IwdGRzaAOCL2djbGNrA4IvRWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHi2uDLc0PHqfVSv7gyemrjE_TmgFm6HwdWzbuzeSdoU0Oxj2zej8eRmOwy_C_aem_cIUILKi9fxfFeGhFSTMjcQ&brid=_vzs8phM3FGQZRpcazQUsw

5 words "DON'T GO IN THE SHED!"

If the face busts return in the hallway... do you think they will be the same busts from before or will they be all new ones?

Prediction... the chandeliers stay but we get new wallpaper for the que. Also were the green cobwebs on the Chandeliers originally for PT?

I wonder if Boocifer will be reused in PTON...

Man I absolutely LOVED seeing this! I was actually wondering if they would show any construction process and it did not disappoint!

The Maestro booth over the years... once it got to Boo Blasters it was just an eyesore. I'm hoping the Maestro returns to his booth in Phantom Theater Opening Nightmare!

I agree as long as it's better maintained than Boo Blasters had been, I'll be happy. A lot of people have been waiting so long for PT to return... I have faith in KI for this one.

We just had to get a picture with the teaser! The outside building pretty much looks fhe same as far as I could tell.

I'm still loving the Blue Ice Cream at Kings Island... it never disappoints!

Any predictions on how dark the actual ride will be? I'm hoping darker than Boo Blasters at least.

I wonder if the outdoor exterior will be the last thing to be worked on like it was in 2003 when Phantom Theater became SDATHC where all the indoor stuff was basically done and they had just started working on the outside according to this video. I actually wonder if there's any way to bring back the old entrance if possible. https://youtu.be/7B6VKQnKMkk?si=vWiKMrQTdW5a_wAH

That would be awesome if he returned! I wonder if we'll get some old restored audio for the new ride as well. Fingers crossed the Maestro returns to his booth in the que!

That's true but at least we are getting the extra days to get our rides in which we are going next weekend!

I agree that we do lose an indoor ride for WinterFest this year but I'm glad by next year we should have PTON! I wonder what kind of new WinterFest merchandise we'll have this year!

I wonder if the original voice of Maestro will be returning to voice him in the new ride?

I agree its like they wanted us to forget about PT... honestly I really think the only reason why we got the PTE show is because of fans of the original ride who were upset when it was removed and the fans are the reason now why we are getting a new PT ride.

That's awesome! Where in the park could I find that?

Funnily enough there have been times when guests thought Boo Blasters actually was a show and had to ask random guests in line on what the attraction actually was. I also remember one time when a guest cussed out the worker because he wanted his family of 6 to all ride in the same ride vehicle, literally caused a big scene and was screaming because he tried to convince them that all 6 family members could fit in the same ride vehicle, he then got out line with his family giving everyone the middle finger. I honestly can't stand guests like that.

I still think it would be funny in PTON in the que if the Maestro says something along the lines of "Our theater was replaced by a group of teens and a talking dog and what is a Boocifer?!?!" I would absolutely LOSE it! I'm hoping that maybe we get subtle references to both Scooby-Doo & Boo Blasters, not a big thing but it would be funny!
