They did use Phantom Theater props and animatronics as displays during Fearfest/Haunt in the past so I don’t think it detracted that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Let me clarify, I think the new design would detract. The old designs looked scarier and were put out when the company was still interested in having a scarier event. The new, more cartoonish and family-friendly designs would be like having a Five Nights at Freddy's house at a horror-focused event. (The park could put the PT characters out, but I'd rather see them out for Tricks & Treats rather than out for Haunt.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroJr Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I agree from what we have seen so far the new Phantom Theater has much more of a cartoon looking design than the old PT and therefore probably not a good idea to market it at Haunt considering that it is first a ride for families and you don’t wanna deter them from thinking it’s too scary for children 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanJay Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago PTON question of the day: I don’t mean to spread negativity through this, but this is more of a thought experiment: What’s one thing that would immediately “ruin” the ride for you if it was included? From everything I’ve seen, I’m really optimistic that this may even be better than the original, but I also have a fear that one aspect will be included that just completely makes me hate the ride for some reason. For me, I think something like including like “toilet” or gross out humor really cheapens some rides I’ve seen used that, and I’m really hoping nothing like that shows up in the new ride. Also I don’t think it would ruin it since two of my other favorite dark rides have them, but I dislike water splash effects in non-water attractions (think the Spider-Man or Transformers rides at Universal) and for my personal re-rideability I kinda hope PTON doesn’t have them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaning too much into making it cartoony and adding a lot of comedic scenes. From what we've seen so far, the characters are cartoon like. I don't mind that too much, but I loved Phantom Theater for being a haunted house. It feels like they're going with an almost comic book look with bright colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroJr Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Nothing would “ruin” this ride for me as I’m just excited to have the IP back at the park with phantom but Too many cardboard cutouts and screens would make this subpar, i also really hope they use the original PT soundtrack as that’s a certified banger. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Only thing that could really ruin it for me would be lack of regular upkeep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree as long as it's better maintained than Boo Blasters had been, I'll be happy. A lot of people have been waiting so long for PT to return... I have faith in KI for this one.
