I wonder if Kings Island will do a walk through for a small amount of visitors for Boo Blasters similar in 2002 for the Phantom Theater before the next ride transformation. https://www.dafe.org/articles/darkrides/phantomPharewell.html?fbclid=IwdGRjcAMbXz1jbGNrAxtesWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEeXdNQhTPZmblExf2EDIDA-6PjJ4KE3QCTt9_1khv0JjoI2zJgU41B_UAOubw_aem_hQ2Bm8kNrwtiT7lP6XdCbg

I doubt its going to be an exact replica but if it is with today's technology I would appreciate that as well as many other people. I do agree it wouldn't impress everyone possibly the younger generation think the majority would be happy about it. The example of a dark ride done right after returning so many years later is at Six Flags Texas "Pirates Of Speelunker Cave" which if you are familiar with was a dark ride starring these creatures called "Speelunkers" and it was removed in the 90s I believe and as of recently it was brought back and was beloved by newer audiences and it had a whole new story, which if the bring back Phantom Theater is that kind of aspect I think its going to do fantastic. I think the main thing that makes or breaks this is it that decide to bring back animatronics.

Update:

We bought the Boo Blaster glasses in the early 2010s for the so-called "3D effect" but to me the effect didn't work and honestly had me feeling dizzy.

For $2, thats not too bad thank you Dippin Dots guy!

I haven't eaten here since it was Hanks Burrito Shack... has anybody ate here?

Its funny how a ride over 20 years being removed from an amusement park is still being talked about, just goes to show you how much this ride is loved and missed.

I honestly would love that! The purple castle that was originally used for Scooby-Doo has been an eyesore...

Yes honestly this is the best teaser Kings Island has given us since Mystic Timbers, I'm actually not sure what the next part of the teaser is going to be.

Rumors say that it has something to do with the Conjuring Haunt attraction which is said to be in the old Crypt building. But honestly I'm not sure...

Lol that is especially funny because I've heard the exact same thing when someone said it about Iron Dragon, but I have seen a turtle in there before.

I loved the Scooby-Doo theming for I am a huge Scooby-Doo fan, was disappointed when Scooby-Doo was removed for Boo Blasters, I remember waiting in line and hearing the Scooby-Doo music in the que and the Scooby-Doo themes outside the ride. "LIKE DON'T CHICKEN OUT NOW, GET YOUR BRIGHT LIGHTS READY, SCOOBY-DOO AND I ARE COUNTING ON YOU!" This is a picture of my little sister, niece, and I standing next to Scooby-Doo.

Is it odd to say that anytime I go to KI, Invertigo is always down? Literally everything I have had a chance to ride it, it seems like it shuts down. I live in Michigan and my family and I have been going to KI since the 90s and I have rode Face/Off/Invertigo a total of 0 times... do I just have bad luck?

Anytime when the Dippin Dots guy is spilling the beans on the new attractions...

Honestly I would like some better burgers at the park not a big fan of ones in the Festhaus, perhaps a local burger restaurant can fill that gap at Kings Island.

They told me not to go in the shed... I didnt listen and lived to tell the tale...

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.
