Tomb Raider, What happened!?

I vote for taking out all the theming and remove the building. Make it outdoor over a body of water like another park. And reprogram it, make it longer and more creative wild movements. Just leave the cement block it is on and that should work fine.

This would be a good idea, however TRTR makes some of the most hideous sounds (or at least it used to) when it runs that would probably turn guests away rather than excite them enough to ride it. This nice thing about it being in a building is that the music could easily cover these sounds up. Although it sounds like the music isn't even working now.

Very True, and by no means is the word "hideous" an overstatement. Every time the brake calipers lock for about the first 2 hours every morning they screech, not to mention the violent shacking of the entire structure every cycle. And thats when the ride is running correctly...

If the ride ran a new program and didnt have to hang over the lava scene and such would some of these noises dissapear?

No it's not limited to that part, it's throughout the entire cycle.
