viol8r Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 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. Signs do not limit liability. And that could be a concern if the ride is causing contusions. exactly. like i said, the way the ride was before did not hurt him AT ALL, and his condition has not changed since then. and since when is plain concrete and steel beams more exciting than actual props, music and effects? the demon bat thing was broken, and there were no lighting effects or music at all on that day either. "lets make the ride theme non-existant and jack up the speed to shake people to death!" sounds like a smash hit to me that was really the only bad thing about that visit. it scared the crap out of my friend that was with us. this was her very first trip to an amusement park (at 25 years old) and the day started out with getting stuck on her very first coaster. we rode The Vortex and it got stuck halfway through the ride for about 15 minutes. that didn't scare her though, because she loved it so far, and we were not stuck on any loops or anything.

Maybe it's Feng Shui by making the Crypt more violent. It's a balance to SOB on the other side of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 I have to disagree with the pain thing. Tomb Raider would KILL my collar bone but the Crypt doesn't do that. I like The Crypt's ride program better, but must admit that it needs something.... anything... in the ride area itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I rode TR:TR and it was very boring to me. Can't wait to see what the Crypt does. If it's anything like Texas Twister was at GL, then it should be tons better. I have a back problem as well and neither of those top spins did any harm to me.

beastrider97 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I can't choose never rode Tomb Raider and hated The Crypt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catzdrummer09 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I have yet to ride The Crypt and will be going in the next few weeks with my family. But I loved Tomb Raider just for the overall experience. And viol8r, did you happen to ride it last season at all....talk about shaking and pain. No effects, no music, bruising, and even back and headache for the rest of the day....yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
