OH MY GOD

Very curious to see this show. Hopefully it is good.

I do miss the Cirque shows though, hope they come back eventually.

Notice that the International Bandstand is not currently occupied. 
 

I have a feeling that it’s a conversation for another day…

Wow, just WOW.  Great idea.

Phantom Theater Encore officially took the top spot of what I’m excited for in 2022!!

I wonder how that will work as a show? Sounds like a lot of costuming for it! 

Seemed like an April Fools Day joke initially. I’m certainly curious about the PT show. Hoping it finds a presence in the park in other ways as well. Cool news! Shaping up to be a rad season.

Musical revue with homage to different scenes is my guess. I don’t care. I’ll love it. #MyChildhood

Sure hope this isn't an April Fools joke! That PT show has potential but also sounds way more elaborate than anything the park has done before. 

The band may be WIP with the lead trumpet player (who I know) working in LA a lot.  

International Showplace has so much potential for the 50th, and sad to see it not being used until June 25.  If Off the Rails is similar to the CP show a few years back, didn’t find it too exciting.   With less and less utilization of the venue (or improvements in shade, paint, lighting), wonder if it’s in the KI 5 year plan to demolish soon in preparation for a major Planet Snoopy renovation.

SHUT UP. This is amazing. There was part of me that wondered if the park would revive the Celebration show, but honestly this is just as good for me.

Some more details have been released in regards to "a golden celebration"

I cannot contain my excitement for Phantom Theater Encore. How great to have those characters be center-stage in the park once again!

So many things to be excited for, it’s hard to choose which is the best!  I think it deserves to be said, we should not forget to vote for KI for best park. We were at 5th place yesterday, and now at 4th. CP was at 3rd, now they’re at 2nd place.

I'm always excited for a new season at Kings Island, but I have never been this excited. The hype is real!

Hype level chart:

!ORION LEVEL![<

!Banshee LEVEL![

!MYSTIC LEVEL![

!SNOOPY LEVEL![

A Phantom Theater show?!?!? That's gonna be cool! I'm am actually really excited. Though I was alive when the ride operated, I was way to scared to try it out (my first ride experience in that building was Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle).

Also, Club KI? I'm in!

EDIT: The parade sounds cool too; wonder what kind of floats will be used (please be an Adventure Village/Action Zone themed float...)
