I have been wondering for a while if the action theater will come back. Is there any clues leading to what will happen to the action theater in the neae future? I know one of the theaters houses urgent scare but I thought the other one was open?

Kings Island can brag about not only having more than 80 rides and attractions, and also the largest collection of empty buildings (especially during it's main season) of any amusement park.  All kidding aside, do other parks have as many empty buildings sitting around as Kings Island?

Six Flags Great Adventure has a whole closed off area....

I hope that Action Theater returns, and if it does return (sometime in the future.) I hope they bring back the moving seats.

I miss Days of Thunder (one of those nostalgic things). I hope they do something with it soon. I enjoy riding WindSeeker and telling my oldest about Days of Thunder and the SpongeBob days.

I also miss SpongeBob

Fish "Hey is that my patty?"

Spongebob "Not yet it isn't!"

The first time I saw a picture of the Pokemon Stunfisk, I thought he was saying "Hey, is that my patty?" 'cause he reminded me of the fish from Spongebob 3D

They have seats In one of the theaters and store KI kicks cancer soccer balls in the other theater, which is stripped of the seats.

I miss the days of green grass and some trees between the turn arounds. [emoji53]

This is partially true, where the soccer balls are stored still have seats unfortunately, it would be so much easier to get all the bags of balls out if they didn't.  The other half is always set up for urgent scare. 

^^Yeah, you are correct

I know that somewhere, Kings Island has at least a five year plan. I'm sure these buildings have something to do with those plans. My guess is we'll only have to deal with them being vacant for a year or two more.

Huh? The Action Theater building is not vacant. It houses a Halloween Haunt attraction.

One that's about to reach the end of its lifecycle.

If it hasn't already.

Last time I was in the non-Haunt section of that theater, the seats had been removed. This was several years ago, when the dino film debuted.

The Dinosaur's movie didn't last very long, because I had only rode it once, the next year when I went to see it, they told me it was gone.

I forget where on this site I saw it, but there's a new, interactive kind of movie thing, IIRC tied into gaming that seemed like a natural fit for Action Theater, can't recall if it was going into a Cedar Fair park, or a competitor, but that would be my prediction.

It only lasted two season I believe. The first year it cost extra then the second year it was free.

Three seasons. The first year, it cost extra. The second year, it was free. The third year, it cost extra again, which makes no sense and, I'm guessing, was a driving factor in reducing viewership and making it unprofitable, thus the decision to remove it.

I watched it once. It was meh. If I want to watch a film, I go to the cinema, not the amusement park.

Notice that the IMAX theaters formerly at the two original Cedar Fair parks got replaced with venues for Live Entertainment, which is much more... Theme park-y... than a movie.

Of course, the CP one eventually went away completely to be replaced by a new coaster. Either way, still more "theme park-y" than a film.

...except Universal: films, screens, simulators.

I would consider simulators and the like to be different. There is still a ride element. Certainly much more amusing to many parkgoers than an educational film with stationary seats which can be experienced outside the park. I could ride DarKastle all day long, but the DA! film practically bored me to tears.

That said, the DA! film was more entertaining to me than the Wizard of Oz 5D Experience. I just don't have the Hart to sit through that one again.
