In the future, every famous person will be a movie star for 85 minutes. KISS Meets The Phantom of the Park continues our 85 Minutes Of Fame season with the hottest band in the world, KISS!
At Magic Mountain, Abner Devereaux, the park’s engineer and the creator of a series of animatronic attractions, is not pleased that his works are being overshadowed by an upcoming concert by KISS. The park’s owner, explains that the concert will generate much-needed revenue to make up for the quality control problems that have plagued Deveraux’s creations.
The owner fires Devereaux for his erratic behavior and disregard for the guests’ safety; because of this, Devereaux swears revenge upon Richards, the park, and KISS— whom he blames for his misfortune.
Shortly after KISS’ first concert at the park, Devereaux attempts to discredit them by unleashing a robotic copy of Gene Simmons to wreak havoc on the park and the security guards. KISS sneak into the park to confront Devereaux, fighting off Devereaux’s animatronic white monkeys in the process. Meanwhile, one of Deveraux’s mind-controlled minions steals the talismans that give KISS their powers and Devereaux, who neutralizes KISS with a ray gun. KISS, having lost their powers, are imprisoned in the underground lab and Devereaux sends his robotic KISS copies to ruin their concert and incite a riot.
