I know you probably can’t but I’m insanely curious if there’s any insight you can give about what this may be. With the rumored price tag I wouldn’t mind hearing a reason that’ll turn me off to spending $200 on this lol."

The "Chandelier Drop" will actually be a drop-tower ride, in the area where it's open to the floors below on the plans. You'll actually ride the chandelier down. You heard it here first!

“Why do people like you basically get to tell other people to shut up, while simultaneously shoving your personal opinions down those same people's throats? Simple. You don't, so just let it go.“

You clearly love Phantom in a certain way. Others don’t. I’m saying this with actual love as a theater fan, but it will never come back in the way you have it in your head. Let other people find it in a new way. Include them in your fandom.

You joke, but imagine how camp it would be if this Phantom was an indoor theme park ala Area 15 in Vegas. Get a birds eye view of the catwalk before crashing down on the performance on the Chandelier Drop Tower. Feel the flames in your face as you ride the Grotesque Gondola to the Phantom's Layer. Dance to the music of the night playing from the world largest pipe organ. Explore the blacklight maze of backstage spaces to find your guiding ghost light in this never-before-seen Phantom of the Opera.

Anything new to report on this?  Is it really happening in a mere 6 weeks or so?
