Waiting in line for Mystic Timbers: Random guest to me "I hear a rumor that they are taking Son of Beasts old wooden loop and putting it in the middle of Mystic Timbers." My reaction: These things that guests say...

I remember the Dinosaurs Alive! Honestly my family & I didn't really care for it too much it being a paid attraction, I guess we expected a little more. I do however remember the Dinosaur 3-D movie that was at Action Theater, but even that could have been improved since they removed the Action seats from previous attractions. Honestly I am curious whatever happend to those giant Dinosaur animatronics? Possibly they got scrapped or sold. But honestly I do believe that land still vacant but maybe a smal flat ride in the future perhaps?

I got a laugh out of this!

I would definitely be happy with a Giga Dive Coaster! As for The Beast 2.0., let's leave The Beast as it is!

It seems like a lot of people at this time were excited for the Scooby-Doo ride and not many people seemed sad about Phantom Theater leaving.

I wonder why Top Thrill 2 at Cedar Point wasn't on the list...

I recently bought this magnet on Ebay! I loved when Scooby-Doo was at Kings Island, this says 2008 so it was during the Cedar Fair era because Scooby-Doo would be removed entirely in 2010!

There have been a lot of Souvenirs at Kings Island over the year so I decided to make a thread so you can show everyone which Kings Island Souvenirs you have obtained! This shall be fun!

Even on the busiest days, it seems like WindSeeker is a walk on, I've noticed this at Kings Island as well as Cedar Point. I'm a big fan of WindSeeker (well when it's actually running ) I'm curious if throughout the years, the popularity of the ride has gone down, I still like it especially the night rides, I'm hoping Cedar Fair keeps all their WindSeekers, hopefully I'm not overthinking this, but what do all of you think?

It feels very nostalgic!

Doesn't Flags own Hanna-Barbera as well? If so I wouldn't mind going back to Scooby-Doo.

I agree, it seems like a lazy concept, a screen just seems very uncreative, hopefully they don't go this way.

Someone posted this on Facebook saying Kings Island is sending out surveys through emails which can be confirmed by several other people, one of the surveys being a new dark ride themed to the Peanuts in which is an interactive shooting game involving a county fair. My best guess is that they are finally looking to get rid of Boo Blasters because I think they would put it there for obvious reasons. Kings Island is apparently sending these surveys out to see what the park guests want, another one I've seen is an expansion of The Beast. What do you think of these surveys if you have seen them, also what would you think of a Peanuts Themed Dark Ride?

The next coaster to go: Invertigo The next flat ride to go: Congo Falls Next retheme of a ride: Boo Blasters On Boo Hill These are just my opinions!

When I was a kid I vaguely remember staying at a campground in the late 90s/early 2000s where Great Wolf Lodge is currently, I remember it being a Yogi Bear Campground later renamed to Paramount Campground, does anybody else remember this or am I going crazy because I can't find anything about it online, thank you!

I haven't made it to KI yet this year, but does Rivertown still have the bacon cheese fries?

Does anybody else like to search for the toy ducks people leave at Kings Island?

Let's pretend that Kings Island (and other parks) were never purchased by Cedar Fair, and it's 2024, what do you think the park would be like now? What new attractions do you think we would have? Is there anything that Paramount would have kept that Cedar Fair wouldn't have? Let me know your thoughts down below!

I'd say Phantom Theater because they could have just updated the animatronics as time went on, and there wasn't a Copyright on the Phantom Theater characters so they could keep it unlike Scooby-Doo. (Which was still better with that theming than the current Boo Blasters theming in my opinion.)

I agree, it would definitely fit the theming.

I think the easiest re-theme would be The Bat turning into something Batman related, which I wouldn't mind. Perhaps the tunnel with the American Flag, can turn into The Bat Cave and Batman theme in the que, that I actually wouldn't mind, I'd say leave Banshee alone that theming is perfect. Invertigo can be turned into a Two Face (Batman) themed ride. And Delirum I can see it turning into some Green Lantern themed ride. But these are just my ideas...

I always thought it would be cool if Kings Island had a permanent small museum in the park showing the history of the park and showing former remnants of rides. Just a small one so guests can see how Kings Island has evolved over the years maybe this could be on International Street or possibly in RiverTown, but what do you all think?

Rando guy looking at old Crypt/Tomb Raider building points and says "Hey! I remember when that used to be The Phantom Theater!" My reaction:

I like Congo Falls but if we are talking water rides at Kings Island, I'd rather be riding White Water Canyon. No I don't want them to remove CF, however I do believe a retheming is needed, for example I think they should build an indoor section on top of Congo Falls, possibly creepy theming like Banshee & The Bat. I'd even think it would be cool if they took a page out of Mystic Timbers book and had some kind of Mysterious Creature up there. A dark area would be awesome and would draw more people to the ride, they can call it "The Mystery Of Congo Falls" but hey I'm just brainstorming ideas here!

That is awesome! I'm assuming this was to promote the ride, sad to say it was only for one year. If The Phantom Theater ever does return in ride form, I'd hope they would bring this back!
