Phantom Theater


This is based on the former attraction at Kings Island and see what if it had improved and refurbished. 
Guests will begin their journey through the queue line of a small graveyard of the performers and stagehands with humous epitaphs. (Like the one in the Haunted Mansion.) That then lead them to an abandoned turn of the century theater with boarded up windows and a run down ticket booth.   
   


Once inside, guests will navigate through the lobby of the theater and encounter their eccentric yet somewhat sinister Maestro. He welcomes guests by telling the Theater's tragic history and warns guests to leave or tempts them to venture further into the haunted halls.
Guests will then travel through a short hallway of posters of the performs when they were alive. Including The Maestro, The Great Garbonzo(daredevil), Hilda(opera singer), Lionel Burrymore (thespian actor), Wilbur Warbler (comedian), Madame Zolton ( clairvoyant), and the Mighty Bosco (strongman). Turing to the left they will then find themselves on a loading stations with a moving platform.


The hologram of a disembodied usher gestures guests to take their seats on their private boxes and wear their opera glasses. (Which are actually 3D glasses.) 
  

Once on board, they move into a dark conner where the Maestro pulls a curtain and beckons guests to venture forth into the theater. 

Guests then enter a portrait gallery of the performers which will morph into ghostly versions of their formal selves. 

In a conner we meet one of the newest additions to the attraction/theater is the famous clairvoyant Madame Zolton. She warns guests of the dangers to come on their journey.    

Traveling through the backstage corridors of dressing rooms doors, where one of them opens to revel one the performers Willard Warbler, tells us to close that door. Another door is The Mighty Bosco,  who has trouble getting out.

Inside the dressing room of Hilda in viking garb, rehearsing for her performance. When she hits a high note which causes her to break a mirror. 

Moving on, we encounter a couple of bumbling stage hands. Where one of them is all tied up, literally, and hangs upside down.

In a dark corner, a voice is heard, "Hey! Who's there?" The lights turn on by man controlling the light switch, "Go on now!" he waves with his flashlight, "the backstage area is restricted." Once he switches the lights off, he becomes a glow in the dark skeleton. 

The Usher again points us to the auditorium where the finale performance will taking place. 

Guests then find themselves in a balcony overlooking the grand stage with ghostly guests sitting on boxes.  The ghostly actors performers reenact their routines. Madame Selena and Huedini summon spirits from beyond the grave, Garbonzo shoots out from his cannon and crashes into a wall, Lionel Burrymore recites lines from Shakespeare's works from his decapitated head, while the Maestro plays a haunting refrain on his argon.    

Turing a conner, we enter Madame Zolton's spirit parlor. She warns guests of more dangers to come and must leave immediately while instruments float around her.

Inside the Prop Room artifacts and come to life, a gargoyle and speaks to us as he greets us. An Egyptian sarcophagus opens to reveal a mummy and lunges at the guests. A marionette puppet dances on it's own by invisible hands. A wooden crate containing something or someone tries in-vain to escape from it's confines. 

Guests then decanted into the Boiler Room, where two men stoking the fires for the furnace opens up to look more like a portal to Hell. A blast of hot air hits guests and their car spins out of control. 

We finale confront the Maestro for one last time as he taunts guests that they will never escape the Theater. Eventually, he struck by lighting. Afterwords guests will then disembark from their cars and return to the world of the living.
