Both projects advance scalable interactive attractions built on trackless systems with replayable gameplay.

Overview

  • At IAAPA Expo Orlando on Nov. 19, the company announced Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare for Kings Island and Guardians of the Hidden Chamber for Doha Quest.
  • Phantom Theater is slated for a 2026 debut at Kings Island as a family-focused homage to the 1992–2002 original.
  • The Kings Island attraction features 26 interactive scenes, 33 animatronics, multi-sensory effects, enchanted opera box vehicles, and custom “spellbound flashlights.”
  • Sally Dark Rides finalized its partnership with Doha Quest at a press conference and contract signing, with Guardians launching the company’s first Mini dark ride format.
