The Kings Island Jail
Pretty embarrassing, honestly.

Enchanted Parks, in Partnership with EPR Properties, Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Six Regional Amusement Parks
I know I sound like a broken record, and plenty will chime in to disagree, but this is why I always wait until closer to the beginning of the season to decide on what pass to buy. I’d rather know what I’m getting into as opposed to things changing and potentially overspending on perks, etc.

Rivertown Redevelopment
Some old people (like me) remember Massacre Manor as a Sleepy Hollow maze under a tent next to the Showplace. Good times.

Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare Construction Progress
Really cool to see it in the top three with Disney and Dollywood.

Rivertown Redevelopment
An indoor/outdoor coaster/water/dark ride could work well with the same ride system as the new NightFlight Expedition at Dollywood. There’s even some room behind the building and beside the train which could create some great kinetic energy and fun water features. It could be midly themed to the previous Keelboat attraction with a new story created specifically for Rivertown. That is, if the building needs to stay. Wouldn’t hate seeing it get the axe.

Disney Rides That Never Came To Fruition
Thread bump! And finally, after all this time, it looks like this concept will finally be brought to life at the new Universal Kids Resort in Texas: Link Always wanted to see this concept make its way to KI back in the Nick Universe days. Man, I’m getting old.

Cincinnati Themed Coaster?
Still think a Big Red Machine dive is a banger idea.

Kings Island Dreams
I had a nightmare once about a looping wooden hyper coaster. Terrifying.

Excitement level for Phantom Theater Opening Nightmare
125% thrilled. Been waiting for this since I showed up to the park in ‘02 as a ten year old to find my favorite ride closed. Everything so far seems fantastic and I’m happy that it’s not just a reboot/recreation of the original ride. Love the art direction and overall style. Pretty unbelievable this is even happening.

Would Cedar Fair/Six Flags survive in Florida?
I think Cedar Fair could have. They are/were able to hold their own with Knott’s on the west coast. In a pre- Blackfish world, there was interest in buying/merging with the Sea World parks too. I think it could’ve worked at that time. Not sure if Six Flags in 2026 could hack it, to be honest.

I hope not. At least not in any major, obvious way.

Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare Construction Progress
Curious as to what this new show element will involve? Maybe some type of Pepper’s Ghost element similar to the Hitchhiking Ghosts at the end of Disney’s Haunted Mansion? Thinking the reused BBoBH pieces will be the swingling chandeliers and turntable. Looks like we got a glimpse of what was leaked yesterday as well.

Interesting! Thank you for sharing. Think this gives us a clue for the queue line smell effect that was listed in the plans. Looks incredible.

Smash Factory? Or something like that. Totally tracking with you. Can’t remember the name, though.

Was Circus Horrors 3D in the Action Theater? I remember it being in the Festhaus (pre- Panda Express) and eventually in the Enchanted Theater as Carnevil.

Always enjoyed SpongeBob 3D. My favorite was Secrets of the Lost Temple. The Elvira show during Fear Fest was cool too. The park definitely needs more indoor attractions!

Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare New in 2026
Thinking a meet and greet with Puppet Larry from the Encore show is a no brainer.

Pretty sure that’s not true.

Kings Island General Discussion 2026
Case in point, my wife and I were kicking around the idea of a Cedar Point trip this summer. We have a one year old, so we’re still not sure if we’ll be able to swing it. If I bought one of the ultra confusing pass options with the all parks passport, etc. (specifically with the plan of visiting Cedar Point) I technically would’ve have lost money this week given the new Gold Pass park access, allowing us into Cedar Point.

So I know what I’m buying. Barely a price difference. And in many cases, like this one, there’s often confusion about what’s being offered leading up to the beginning of the season. What do you care what I do with my money? What’s the price difference? Pretty insignificant.
