Big changes are coming to Kings Island — and while families are excited for what’s ahead, it’s also time to say goodbye to a ride that brought laughs, screams, and friendly competition for years.
- This past fall, the park closed the beloved Boo Blasters on Boo Hill dark ride to make room for an all-new family attraction, Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare, opening this spring. But before the ghosts of Boo Hill fully fade away… they’re giving families one last chance to keep the memories alive.
And yes — you can actually bring a piece of the ride home.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Auction for Families and Fans
Kings Island is hosting a special online auction from March 18 through March 27, featuring authentic props and set pieces straight from Boo Blasters on Boo Hill.
For families who made this ride a must-do tradition — racing to zap ghosts and trying to outscore each other — this auction is more than memorabilia. It’s a chance to preserve a piece of your family’s park history.
Parents who rode it as kids…
Kids who laughed through the spooky scenes…
Friendly rivalries for the highest score…
Now those memories can live on in your home game room, basement, or theater room.
What Kind of Items Are Up for Bid?
Kings Island is opening the crypt and offering an incredible variety of pieces, including:
🎃 Life-sized medieval knights
👻 Formerly animated ghosts
🪦 Gravestones and skeletons
🎼 Pipes from the iconic pipe organ
🪧 Themed ride signage and directional signs
🎭 Dimensional characters and set pieces of all sizes
Some items are large statement pieces perfect for a themed basement or Halloween setup, while others are smaller collectibles ideal for display shelves.
If your kids ever pointed excitedly at a scene while riding through Boo Hill — there’s a good chance part of it might be available.
A Meaningful Way to Say Goodbye
“This is an incredible way for park fans to pay their final respects to the former ride and own a piece of Kings Island history,” said Steve Ryan, Director of Retail at Kings Island.
And honestly — for families — it really is.
Theme park rides aren’t just attractions. They’re traditions. They’re first ride memories, silly photos, and “again, again!” moments. Being able to keep a tangible piece of that experience makes this auction feel special, especially for longtime park visitors.
