Good Bye Theater Royale
It's been confirmed, Royale at Gurnee will become queue for Dark Knight.
Also, Grand Music Hall will also become a video presentation theater.

Does that mean that the queue will be housed in the existing structure and that the New Orleans-style facade will be maintained? Or that the building will be destroyed and be replaced with an outdoor zig-zag queue?jonrev wrote:It's been confirmed, Royale at Gurnee will become queue for Dark Knight.

Seeing that "Dark Knight" is supposed to be a Dark Ride, I'd hope it was the latterWestBurbs14 wrote:Does that mean that the queue will be housed in the existing structure and that the New Orleans-style facade will be maintained?

Rumor.Also, Grand Music Hall will also become a video presentation theater.
I think once people see the theming of DK's queue line it should justify the removal of Theatre Royale. It also makes sense for the park to use it because the shows that were in Theatre Royale were nothing you couldnt see in Bugs Bunny Starlight Spectacular or Brunch With Bugs anyway, there is plenty of charector presence outside of the theatre. I dont think many families would care about TR's removal, now if the rumors turn out to be true about GMH, that will be a completely different story.
It's sad to see Royale go (in whatever fashion). That was the first theatre I worked in at the park after transfering out of rides. The little closet under the office in there had a table with hundreds of signatures on it from previous crews and casts.
Backstage was always fun as was the trap door that lead under the stage.
Ah....memories.
