I would love to see WindSeeker run during WinterFest, but it would have to be a temperature thing, because if WindSeeker opens then Drop Tower would be would that should open also.

I think it would be a good idea if they opened Delirium for WinterFest, I'm really glad Racer was opened last year as well.

I do agree I thought they would have waited until after Boo Blasters was closed at least but nonetheless I am still very excited!

For those of you speculating the ending with the Crypt meant in that teaser... I'm sorry to break the news to you but...

Honestly this was the best teaser since Mystic Timbers! I am curious however about how this ties in with the Crypt building but its looking for sure that Phantom Theater is returning. I bet we are all excited to see what is officially announced on the 28th!

I feel like The Bat doesn't get much love nowadays...

With the closure of Boo Blasters, I wonder if another ride is going to be added to WinterFest or keep as is.

Honestly if Phantom Theater does return.. I would love it if they mention the destruction of their former theater and maybe make a mention of Boo Blasters as a joke like they did in the Phantom Encore show.

I would honestly love it if Scooby-Doo came back to Kings Island even just as a meet & greet character! Honestly 15 years without Scooby and the park hasn't felt the same especially since he was there when the park opened in 1972.

I agree the anticipation is overwhelming me as well. I wonder if they will make an announcement the day it closes or the day after it closes. I dont think they'll wait too much long after the ride closes. I'm hoping they gave a teaster outiside the ride as well similar in 2002 when they closed the Phantom Theater for Scooby-Doo.

I'm glad we are seeing more PT merch at KI, I haven't seen it but I wonder if there was any PT merchandise that Kings Island sold in the 90s when the ride was new.

Thats awesome! I'm hoping to see more PT merchandise, as I've said before I would like it if they made hats as well.

I would like to see an ice show in there again, I think the last one I saw was a Snoopy themed one way back in 2010. Or this show I took back in summer of 2019... I forget the name of it; but I thought the concept was really neat!

I rode Son of Beast in 2003 when it still had the loop, I was about 7 years old and when I rode it, it scared the living daylights out of me, to the point where I never rode it again. It was the loop that actually scared me I'm not sure why I didnt ride it again when they eventually removed the loop but it's too late now!

My question is if Phantom Theater does return... does the big purple castle get removed completely or would it be reused but modified? Personally I think the purple castle should retire, it worked with the Scooby-Doo & Boo Blaster theming but in my opinion wouldn't work with a PT theming.

Wow so many years later its funny how some people at the time were happy that Phantom Theater left Kings Island and nowadays most everyone is eagerly waiting for its return.

I remember 2009, they were still doing the Scooby-Doo meet and greets and Nickelodeon was still big in the kids area. All the Paramount names had already been changed the previous year. I was in middle school at the time so I had been very oblivious to the fact that everything Paramount had been removed at that point. Oddly enough SpongeBob 3D was still in Action Theater in 2010, if anybody remembers that. I'm wondering if 2026 will be just like 2010 with all the rumors of Looney Tunes replacing Peanuts as well as the new ride replacing Boo Blasters.

Has there been a ride at Kings Island that you have never ridden for as long as you've been going to the park? For me I have never ridden on Invertigo/Face/Off for the simple fact for the strongest reason its always down or not operating. There have been times when I was waiting in line and then almost to the front and then they would close the ride due to some mechanical problem, so what is a ride at Kings Island that you have never ridden before?

II love posts like this, I would definitely sleep in this shed in Rivertown... some say creepy things happen there...

Loving the new Phantom Theater shirt I bought on International Street... I'm hoping they come out with a hat to match it!

That is true, I honestly heard when Phantom Theater closed in 2002 it was without warning and in the middle of summer.

My wife and I got the brewhouse nachos... those were the BIGGEST nachos we have ever seen!

Tonight waiting in line for Boo Blasters Guest: "When this was a Paramount park, this ride was themed to The Wizard Of Oz!"

I agree it takes away from the spooky atmosphere a haunted house is supposed to have, whatever happened to people just looking at the scenery at just talking to your friends in line?

I would love to see a Batman or Looney Tunes themed attraction in that area! Honestly I would just love to see Action Theater open again.
