beastfan11 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 A pretty cool video I stumbled upon tonight that includes a handful of pictures I’ve never seen. Such a rad dark ride. Just wanted to share for those interested! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewMcPuke Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Despite the goofy nature of the ride, I do recall being quite scared of this as a small child. The craftsmanship-to-cost ratio of PT is impressive when you compare it to the much higher budgets of Disney and Universal. I do hope the animatronics have still managed to survive to the present day without too much decay. I know they used them for haunt a few years back, but a lot can happen in five years.

robintodd Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 And just in time for anyone to brush up on the ride since Phantom Theater Encore will open at the Kings Island Theater June 4th! Looking forward to this original show about a beloved past ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Out of curiosity, does anyone know if this ride was made especially for KI? I'm not aware of any other parks that had a Phantom Theater. If that's the case, who would own the rights to the characters? Would it be possible for Kings Island to use them in the future? I'm assuming there will be some characters in the new Phantom Theater Encore show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the park owns the characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 And R&R Creative Design still exists. So does the original ride system. Just sayin, KI, just sayin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 This ride was amazing for a seasonal park when it opened. Not many seasonal parks feature an omni-mover system for their dark rides, if they even have a dark ride. One has to wonder when Boo Blasters will receive an upgrade. The current set up has been around now for 19 seasons, with one theme change. The original ride system was around for 19 seasons with one theme change before it was turned into Phantom Theater...
