BoddaH1994 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 So, lay them out on the table... many of you got to ride The Crypt today, so which do you prefer: Tomb Raider or The Crypt? Quote
HTCO Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Haven't ridden the crypt yet but can't wait until tomorrow when I can! Quote
Phantom Theater Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I've rode TR:TR but not The Crypt,But I really want to. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 As far as thematic elements and all encompassing ride experience goes, TR:TR wins. But as far as overall thrills and a fun ride, The Crypt wins head over heals. So my vote goes to The Crypt. I can`t wait to ride it again! Quote
Ki Man Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Crypt for ride in general, TR:TR for the whole show. Crypt :\ Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 i agree...TRTR had the win by far for the overall show and theme...but the crypt blew TRTR out of the water with the ride experience. now only if someone could combine the two of them together we would have a champ lol. Quote
gameGhost Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Tomb Raider because i loved the theme of it all. and Cedar Fair you ruined that. just wach this and remember Tomb Raider The Ride at Kings Island. Quote
Jamesv7 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I like The Crypt ride but it lake's in theming. Quote
Vortex Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I like The Crypt ride but it lake's in theming. I did not know it had a theme in the box? My brother looked at me and said oh boy another Disaster Transport. Quote
Browntggrr Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Tomb Raider because i loved the theme of it all. and Cedar Fair you ruined that. just wach this and remember Tomb Raider The Ride at Kings Island. Do you have any clue what you are talking about? Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I like The Crypt ride but it lake's in theming. I did not know it had a theme in the box? My brother looked at me and said oh boy another Disaster Transport. That just made me crave Jack In The Box even more than i was... Quote
italianchef Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 I haven't ridden The Crypt yet. Maybe this weekend I can. Quote
VortexPKIFreak Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I haven't ridden The Crypt yet. All I can say is if I had to choose between the names, I'd keep it Tomb Raider: The Ride. But thats just me Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 And if Cedar Fair thought that name was worth paying what was wanted for it, they'd have paid it. The Crypt it is... Quote
FOFirehawkFAN Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 As of May 2nd the Crypt was running VERY WELL! They finally have the lights on some sort of timer and have better music than the crappy techno stuff. For some reason I thought it was a much better ride today than last weekend! Although the robotic dragon or whatever it is was NOT working today. Quote

FOFirehawkFAN Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 I think it's about as good as it's gonna get I don't know what else they can really add to improve it much more without spending a ton of $$$ however some type of strobe light effect durring one of the double/tripple spins would be sweet. Quote
TH13TEEN Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 I think it's about as good as it's gonna get I don't know what else they can really add to improve it much more without spending a ton of $$$ however some type of strobe light effect durring one of the double/tripple spins would be sweet.What is the music like now?

THANK YOU THAT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING..ok im off the caps now..lol. but yea, i have said that exact same thing..it would be awesome if they used a strobe for one of the big flips during the ride..i know that would 1, scare the crap out of me and 2, be so awesome that would be the only thing i would remember. yes i know they may not cause it can cause seizures with guests but, at the same time, that ride could be enough to give someone a seizure..lol.. Quote
FOFirehawkFAN Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Well also since the beggening of the ride mirrors the ending of it, if they were to add stobes to the 2nd big flip it would give it a better "finale" I guess. Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 sounds about right yea..would still be awesome if they put a strobe in lol..and it doesnt even have to be on for that long..just a few seconds would do. Quote
viol8r Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 i just rode "the crypt" yesterday and will NEVER ride it again! when it was the tomb raider ride i was totally in love with it and rode it multiple times in a row. the effects used to be such a thrill, and while scary, the ride was not painful at all. NOW they have pulled out ALL the wall images and props from the ride itself and left nothing but bare walls with the steel supports showing and lots of plain old concrete to stare at while it violently tries to shake you off the ride. the sign out front says that "there are now more thrills on this ride", but in reality, all they did was jack the speed up so it spins the crap out of you and leaves a ton of bruises. my b/f has some MINOR back problems, but they never acted up from the "tomb raider" ride, even after multiple rides along with me, but with the new violent speed up, this ride threw his back out and he had to be taken out of there in a stretcher and carted off to the medic area for the rest of the evening. i have a couple of bruises on my shoulders from the restraints when it was shaking everyone so hard. i think the new name suits the new ride style well...this ride is dying and it's already got it's "crypt" ready to be buried. i have a feeling this thing won't even last out this season. it's totally worthless and painful now, so they might as well tear it down now before it injures someone else.

TOPGUN1993 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I find the front row to be more painful than the back row..... but I luv Crypt Quote
Phantom Theater Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Will The Crypt be open today?I hope because I really want to go on it! Quote
TH13TEEN Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 my b/f has some MINOR back problems, but they never acted up from the "tomb raider" ride, even after multiple rides along with me, but with the new violent speed up, this ride threw his back out and he had to be taken out of there in a stretcher and carted off to the medic area for the rest of the evening. Read the sign outside the ride. That may be a helpfull hint. Quote
italianchef Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I like THE CRYPT better because it is original; whereas TR:TR was taken from a Paramount movie. Quote

Read the sign outside the ride. That may be a helpfull hint. Signs do not limit liability. And that could be a concern if the ride is causing contusions. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Saturday the Crypt was playing no music at all just some wind howling. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I like THE CRYPT better because it is original; whereas TR:TR was taken from a Paramount movie. Oh, yes...The Crypt is oh, so original...nothing derivative about any of its theming.... I ask you, if Kings Island were currently owned by The Lego people, would you be cheerful about them until they sold, too; then would you call them a bunch of blockheads? Terpy, just wondering. Quote
