Sally Dark Rides prepares for the opening of their latest production, Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare - exclusively at Kings Island
The buzz is building as invites to Kings Island grand reveal circulate to media outlets around the world. Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare - the highly anticipated attraction - officially premieres to the public on Saturday April 18.
SDR proudly brings a fan-favorite back to life that originally made its home at Kings Island from 1992-2002. The resurrected story blends nostalgic characters, playful charm, and an all-new interactive challenge for an unforgettable experience. The scenes feature added multi-sensory effects like wind and sound, hidden Easter eggs throughout, and a grand on-stage musical finale.
Guests are invited into its hallowed halls on a dark and stormy night, setting the tone for its grand re-opening. Inside, a long-awaited performance by Maestro, the theater’s resident organist, is set to begin. During the storm, a lightning strike unleashes the ghost notes – mischievous musical spirits that wreak havoc across the theater – from Maestro’s mighty pipe organ.
With the help of head usher No Legs Larry, guests take on the role as a member of his team and ride in “enchanted opera boxes,” utilizing special spellbound flashlights to capture and return the ghost notes to the organ so the performance can begin on time.
Along the way, the enchanted opera boxes travel through fully built dimensional scenes, including backstage areas, haunted hallways, dressing rooms and a fiery boiler room as they meet other performers who are ready to take the stage.
From animatronic forms of Houdelini and The Great Garbonzo to Hilda Bovine and Lionel Burymore, the Phantom Theater’s beloved crew is back, getting caught in the chaos while guests simultaneously search for the ghost notes. New surprises await guests around every corner, including the introduction of Arpeggio, Maestro’s furry feline friend.
