Mike then hears another noise before wandering toward a series of flashing lights.
The teaser then cuts to another construction worker, standing inside the park’s former Crypt attraction, trying to reach Mike over the radio. Finally, the words “to be continued” flash on screen.
The video’s description also includes a date, Aug. 28, presumably when the park will reveal more.
However, even with the minimal information provided, die hard Kings Island fans already have theories as to what the park may be teasing.
As pointed out in comments under the teaser, Toccata and Fugue in D minor holds a significance within the park’s history. The song served as the queue music for the park’s old Phantom Theater attraction— the ride housed where Boo Blasters is currently located.
Operating from 1992 to 2002, Phantom Theatre took guests on a trip through a haunted opera house, filled with ghouls and ghosts. Kings Island is known for paying homage to this beloved attraction, as it hosted a tribute show titled “Phantom Theater Encore” in 2023.
This had led some to believe the classic ride may be making a return in the future.
A portion of the video taking place in the old Crypt ride building also stood out, as a new attraction housed inside has been at the top of many Kings Island fan wish lists. During Halloween Haunt, the building was the home of Madame Fatale’s Cavern of Horror for over a decade, but the maze will not return this year.
In November 2024, Kings Island parent company Six Flags announced plans to bring a “family thrill attraction” to the park in 2026. It is unknown whether the teaser is tied to this addition or not.
It currently looks like fans will have to wait for the aforementioned Aug. 28 date before learning more.
Kings island is located at 6300 Kings Island Drive in Kings Mills.
