Checking Out: The End of Hotel St. Michelle

Kings Island's Halloween Haunt is undergoing another major transformation as Hotel St. Michel officially checks out for good. In this episode of Tower Topics, Don Helbig and Ryan Suhr discuss why one of Haunt's most immersive mazes is being retired, what could replace it, and the growing rumors surrounding a possible new Friday the 13th-themed haunted attraction. They also break down the evolution of Kings Island's premium haunted maze strategy following the success of The Conjuring, debate whether additional upcharge experiences improve or hurt Halloween Haunt, and share their thoughts on what this means for the future of the event. If you're a fan of Kings Island, Halloween Haunt, haunted mazes, theme park news, Six Flags, or the latest amusement park rumors, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
