When Tomb Raider opened, the gondola held 77 seats. After a few seasons, around 7 seats were removed from each row on the unload side of the gondola in an attempt to balance the gondola. Since this didn't completely solve the issue, the entire front row was removed. Changes were frequently made to the ride program but the intense maneuvers would ultimately cause the ride to fault even after all of the changes to the gondola. Basically, it was a top spin that couldn't top spin so it was removed. The ride itself never lived up to pre-show anyway.
