Phantom Theater gone for good

I haven't ridden Phantom Theater in years, but I'm glad I at least got to. Kinda like King Cobra. I rode that for the first and (unknowingly) last time last year. Just shows to go ya, never take any rides for granted. You don't know how long they'll be there.

Farewell, PT. Ye shall be missed.

Just got back from pki and PT is gone, it has the orange netting around it and everything like that. Of topic i realized how great of a ride SOB is in the front, also realized the rides-ops get pissed when another ride-op forgets to put down a restraint and one of um have to climb up the lift to put it down. But yes PT is deffinatly gone and will be missed, but im not gonna stop going to it just cuz its closed like some people *cough Intamin Guy cough*

P.S. Drop Zone was using all its seats which i dont think they have been doing all year.

I rode PT twice on the 14th once in car 14. The cars actually go in reverse order. The second time I waited in the queue house until after the fireworks went off, and tried to get in the last ride to the GP but someone had to stay at the end.... Hmmm Shaggy.

Also, the thing is I just think it will be haunted mansion, it could be haunted theatre now that I think about it.

Also, SFGamDiehard, it won't be a bunch of cardboard cutouts, they will be animitronics I assure you on that one.

You'll Be Back, you'll be back :)

Bye bye PT.

Chuck, who says the best parts of the ride were not on the ride. Wolf howl outside Meistro in the Q, Turning faces in the entry way. The rest of the ride was not to my liking but to each their own.

Does anyone know if there are sound files floating around out there somewhere of the grand old theater? Especially of the 'Maestro' (thanks for not answering the question RM *rolls eyes*, you got the meaning...) himself?

There was no Phantom in there. The Phantom works for Kennywood. Phantom Theater's master of ceremonies was "Maestro".

Orange fencing, eh? I figured that by Monday morning the marquee would be gone from the building, the signs would be gone from the entrance, and a metal gate (or just a piece of fencing) would have been bolted or welded across the end of the queue path...a couple of hours' work to basically make the ride disappear...
