One thing Id thought id point out is when Scooby Doo and the mystery of the spooky swamp closed at SF: St Louis on 9-14-14 and the new Justice League ride opened the following June, I do not want a justice league ride and would much prefer a phantom theater ride even with the gun element but just saying it can be done quickly, I rode Boo Blasters yesterday and it’s really sad the state it’s in, only one of the three guns worked and half of the ride props where off or non functional,I will miss this ride but I’m ready for a change

Kings Island Rides That You Have Never Ridden Before!
MaestroJr replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
Never rode Son of Beast regrettably, had the chance but was too scared and when I wasn’t scared anymore it was headed the way of the Dino -
I would like to see the Phantom theater come back to the park in someway, I really hope that since they’re closing this in September that they’ll be a ride opening next year because if not, it seems stupid to close it so early, I really hope this isn’t like Vortex where a ride closure resulted in nothing replacing it, especially since dark rides are such a crucial part to theme parks especially for people who can’t ride coasters because they have certain disabilities and such.

Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026
MaestroJr replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
I really can’t emphasize how much the park needs a good quality dark ride which hopefully we will be getting soon, it’s been such a long time since we’ve had one and it is such an under appreciated part of seasonal theme parks especially when everyone is focused on coasters -
Thanks very much, I plan on going tomorrow and I wanted to game plan
-
Anybody go tonight to give an update on what rides on running ?
-
Ah thanks for the info I didn’t know that
-
I kind of wish The Adventure Express was open as well for Winterfest because I think it would be a pretty nice addition to the lineup and it’s not a very intense roller coaster so I think it can operate most of the time. It’s nice to have The Racer though.

How long do you guys think that Son of Beast station will remain standing considering Wolfpack obviously isn’t going to come back apparently. It’s cool that it still exist but it’s a bit of an eyesore and considering it’s not being used it serves little purpose.

Is Invertigo down for the rest of the season?
MaestroJr replied to FoxyFitzHamilton's topic in Kings Island
I’d rather have a new ride! -

I hope it never runs again and gets torn to the ground, that ride is awful! -
My Idea The Phantom Theater Ride Returned...
MaestroJr replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
I wouldn’t mind boo blaster so much if it worked properly like the animatronics function the way they were supposed to, and the guns function the way they are supposed to not to mention the fact that they don’t even make noise anymore when you fire, take a ride like space ranger spin that’s a ride that is significantly older than ours yet it functions properly because Disney cares for their rides better. even a boo blasters update would be nice just to get the guns working again -
My Idea The Phantom Theater Ride Returned...
MaestroJr replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
I bet they will run boo blasters till it breaks, I don’t mind the blasters but I would like to see a new ride, even peanuts themed or something although I wish phantom theater would return in some way -

Honestly I miss Scooby at this point, at least Scooby worked and was a lovable character, we need a new dark ride hell make it two new dark rides enough with coasters for a while -

MaestroJr replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
If it doesn’t happen this year, I doubt it will happen ever because this would be the best time to do it in my opinion -

MaestroJr replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
Non the less Kings Island needs another high caliber dark ride of its type imo, every park should have a decent dark ride at least one that’s not just shooting at cardboard cutouts -
My Idea The Phantom Theater Ride Returned...
MaestroJr replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
Completely agree that I doubt it’ll come to fruition however it holds a nostalgic place in people’s hearts and was a fairly advanced and groundbreaking ride for a seasonal amusement park, to have a ride such as it at a seasonal park. Be considered anywhere near close to Disney is pretty incredible. -
My Idea The Phantom Theater Ride Returned...
MaestroJr replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
Yeah, I definitely think they should bring it back and some form I kind of figured they would after the phantom theater returns show but at this point I’m not sure and it’s a shame because they have such a good IP and they don’t use it to me is a extremely large waste of opportunity As for the current state of the old animatronics, I would wager that most of them. If not all of them have been removed from the property because as of 2013, they no longer get out the animatronics during Halloween Haunt not to mention the few animatronics that were on display last year at the play, only featured a few characters, and none of them were in their complete form, and the maestros partial head mold was in there the first year, but it was gone as of last year, so these things seem to become very easily either stolen or lost -
No not really, all the slow rides should allow you to film and obviously the coaster should only let you if the camera is sercured but that’s just my opinion
-
I know I just think it’s funny that’s all
-
It’s funny how they say it’s for safety reasons but I’ve recorded countless POVs on the Haunted Mansion at WDW and they do not care, I really just don’t think they want you to at Kings Island.

The Racer to get another massive round of retracking for 2024
MaestroJr replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
Nice to see The Racer getting love again, hope they continue to give love to old rides. -
Don’t know if any of y’all vacation in the Myrtle Beach area but if you do there was fun small water park there called Wild Water N Wheels that unfortunately has closed its doors for good and is in the process of deconstruction, I loved that park as a kid and am sad to see it go and wonder of any of you have been here too.

Interesting to note that this year in the Phantom Theater Encore lobby the display of props with the great Houdilinis head and Shakespeare actor is missing the Maestros head that was in the bottom part of the case, also Houdilinis eyes are silently different from last year. I wonder what happened to Maestros head? this year last year

I really enjoy the Tropical Plunge slide where the floor drops below you feet and you plunge down, I also enjoy the Mondo Monsoon family tube ride where you plunge down into a giant funnel. I also enjoy the lazy river and wave pool and there is lots of smaller slides along the way but one thing I’d recommend is don’t overpack just bring a change of clothes and maybe a towel as you’ll have to get a locker to stow your things. The water park closes at 7 so you still will have three hours at the main park should you choose.
