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!

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!
