HutchCrew Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) What should be done with Tomb Raider Building? 1. Put in a launch dark coaster similar to Outer Limits 2. Put In a ride similar to disneys soarin and flight of the avatar 3. Tear it down 4. Other My vote would be number 2. It has the space to be something really cool like Soarin and Flight of the Avatar in disney. Love to hear your thoughts! Come on Kings Island that queue is too cool to waste!

KIBeast Posted Friday at 05:08 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:08 PM Welcome to KIC! Being that you are new here, make sure you check and see if this is being discussed elsewhere. By all means, feel free to add to the discussion there. There are some great members here and the mods are top notch. As far as what to do with the old Crypt building, I would personally like to see a dark ride go in there, but I don't really think it's large enough for something like Flight of Fear. I do, however, wonder if something similar to Laff Track at Hersheypark could fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted Friday at 05:20 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:20 PM I prefer a Madhouse in that building, but time to close that forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewMcPuke Posted Friday at 06:09 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:09 PM I'm gunning for a dark, rain forest themed arcade. Not gonna happen, but that would be sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdude86 Posted Saturday at 04:01 AM Share Posted Saturday at 04:01 AM 2, if not 3. Think a Soarin’ type simulator would be great fun for family’s and be another attraction to do when it’s raining and add to Winterfest. if they do tear it down, I hope they keep the queue. Have always thought it could work well rethemed as a mine leading up to either an indoor attraction or a major outdoor flat like a Screamin’ Swing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're ever wanting to go somewhere like this, Arcade Legacy in Sharonville is incredible. $10 for unlimited play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted Monday at 02:45 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:45 PM Dark Ride Data Base did talk to Vekoma about the future of the Madhouse. They confirmed that another one is being built in a theme park. It's either Kings Island or Legoland California will get there's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted Monday at 08:07 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:07 PM Even though I love and miss with a passion TRTR, it's time to pull that bandaid and just remove it. But... At the same time KI is in DESPERATE need of a thrilling dark ride and the building is there. KI is lacking in the inversion department right now, only 3 coasters in the park have inversions so I'd love to see a thrill ride that includes inversions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what that building can hold that would accomplish this that isn’t what used to already be in there. The DarKoaster building is 4 times the size of what we have. I argue unless they have another flat ride to put in that building, tear it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the park has moved on from it's show building aesthetics back when it was Paramount. Other than Diamondback, each new attraction has made it's corresponding area beautiful without many ugly sightlines. That building has DB right over the entrance to the cave, plus I think having it removed would allow WWC entrance to have some air to breathe and most importantly, open up the area for expansion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think a water ride would go nicely in that patch of grass next to Diamondback’s second hill. That would still allow the park to put something new where the building is and fill in some of that open land without having to tear into the woods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkyFoxx Posted Tuesday at 01:31 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:31 PM It just kinda sucks that at this time there are at least three major spots that could use some love-the old TR:TR building, Vortex plot and the FX Theater. Hopefully some life will be breathed into them soon. A new dark ride experience would definitely be awesome, but I am also fine with them tearing it down if it makes way for something else instead of the empty box/sad entry way of what once was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was looking pretty rough towards the end of last summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
