Dane Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Phantom Theater was one of those rides were I found myself riding it at least once everytime I came to the park. Although I didn't find it scary, it just had the lure to it. My favorite memory is the sewer or storm water drain right in front of the door to get in. It had a speaker down in it with a growling noise. It was wonderful watching little kids in frount of me freak out when they heard it. It was more than a bunch of robots, those robots had sprit. I will miss it greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return of D Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I really don't like how Aaron can just close a thread. Fun stuff develops as you let them go. No fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Well, I'm sorry I closed that thread, but it wasn't going to lead to anything. I try to keep the "productive" threads open, and close or delete the ones that I do not believe are very significant, so I do not waste bandwidth (bandwidth = $$). May I remind that no one should take a closure of a topic personal, I (or a moderator) will simply close a topic if it gets out of hand, or is not very productive, and DO NOT close a topic because I "may not like someone". Everyone is here to state their opinion, and I respect that... just please don't take anything I do personally, and if you have a problem with me, please just send me a POLITE email or PM. Any rude or immature remarks will be ignored. Remember, all the money that I have to pay to keep PKIU is coming out of my own pocket, and if you have a problem with the way I run the site, then I'm sorry. Running a website like PKIU isn't very cheep, and I do whatever I can so I may keep the cost down without having to resort to *shudder* ad banners and popups. Back to Phantom Theatre... PKI has already sank big money into the removal of the ride, and PT's replacement, Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle. Just because a few "enthusiasts" think that PKI should bring back PT and call off their plans, doesn't mean anything. They are wasting their time if they think that a petition will do anything. PKI does what the PUBLIC wants not what the ENTHUSIAST wants. May I remind you that enthusiasts make up about 5% of the park's attendence, not very significant. The plans have been made, it's sad that Phantom Theatre is going, but people have to get over themselves and realize that it's JUST A RIDE.

SML828 Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Yes, it's sad that it is being closed...but the new ride should be AMAZING and it's time to move on already...plus like Aaron said - it's just a ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inraider Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 well, Aaron, I did take it personally, because I found it to be quite rude! and your shutting it down was uncalled for, you wanna shut down a truly useless topic? look on your boards, I can name more than just a few.... Everyone! PLEASE CHECK OUT PKIGUIDE.COM! IT HAS THE MOST INTERESTING BREAKING NEWS ON THE PHANTOM THEATRE, HMMM. AMAZING ISN'T IT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 No need for the all caps, we can hear you just fine.... as for the "breaking news" on PKI Guide? It's most likely just a little rumor someone would like to start, and I would not believe it until an official statement is released by PKI.

SML828 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Inraider - You are very hypocritical...You like to state your opinions, but you get all huffy when someone else states their (differing) opinion...Just remember everyone has a right to post their opinions and since this is Aaron's site/responsibility...he has veto power over anything and everything involved here...whether we agree with it or not.

Aaron Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Thank you SML, now may we please get back to the topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Change is good though...and you should agree...because if things didn't change there would have never even been a Phantom Theater. It would still be the Hanna Barbera Enchanted Voyage. (Which I miss) But I also enjoyed the Phantom Theater...just like I am looking forward to the new Scooby Doo ride. 10 years was a good run.

Dane Posted November 15, 2002 Author Share Posted November 15, 2002 Don't ya just love how topics start on on subject and end on something compleatly different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I think that's the unwritten law of message boards. If you REALLY wanted to talk about The Phantom Theater you should have started a thread about something completely different and people would end up talking about the Theater about half way in!

PKI_Man Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 the phantom theater was a pretty good to ride when i was little but im thirteen years old i think it not scary id love to scare little kids to cling to their moms leg now they have scooby doo coming out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow2k3 Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 PT was a good Dark Ride for what it was worth. I have to agree, it had that lure to for you to ride it. But 10 years is a good run, it had it's fun and it's gone. One thing I'm glad that they're keeping in Scooby is that spooky atmosphere that came with PT. Scooby should be interesting to check out..... ~Shadow~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 PT was something that was there, but it always called me to ride it. My parents always started the day by riding it. It was a tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. G. Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I will miss "the Centurion" tremendously. PT was one of those rides that was SO lame you had to LOVE it. I remember the Smurf ride and thought PT was an improvement. You're right, the little kids didn't appreciate it....however I put mine on as soon as they were big enough to ride and PT had become, as someone stated, tradition!

teenageninja Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I will always remember Phantom Theatre, alot of memories from that place (keep perverted thoughts to yourself please) and how great of a ride it was. An example of pre-Paramount PKI goodness ::drools::. However, I believe Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle will be a VERY large improvement and will gain everyone's liking. Hopefully it will have the magic that of Phantom Theatre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
