kjkjkj Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I'm just curious about how many people would care if The Crypt is removed. This is just for fun! Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 in the state it is in now, it's like a wounded horse during the Durby, just euthinise(sp?) it and call it a day Quote
FOFreak Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I vote to get rid of it. Its not very good, and could be replaced with better. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 There are those who say they already buried Tomb Raider: The Ride and put it in a crypt. Wasn't it under the old owner that all the thrills were paramount? Quote
Coaster Kid Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I think they should get rid of it and put in a ride like Demon Drop at CP. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Good Luck. Demon Drop is the last of its kind in the USA and is currently for sale, as it has been for quite some time. Though I love Demon Drop, you are very unlikely to see a new one installed anywhere in America. Quote
KI Kevin Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 If they don't reprogram it to make it a better ride, then they can take it out for all I care. PS: Coaster Kid, your ride list is ridiculous Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Maybe it can enjoy new life with the enclosure removed. The top spin is an impressive-looking ride, and might draw more thrill seekers from the midway. Quote
kjkjkj Posted June 27, 2009 Author Posted June 27, 2009 I read somewhere that it wouldn't be able to operate with the structure removed. I'm not sure if that's true though. Even if the structure were to be removed, I think the line would be even smaller if it kept it's current program, people would actually see how bad it is before they get in line! Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 They might call it... a "Ferris Wheel"! Quote
HTCO Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 ^ Why not! Thats what I call it now . I voted, get rid of it. I really don't see this ride being around much longer. Quote
TheCryptRaider Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I voted to get rid of it. It was fun, but its barely even a thrill ride any more. Quote
Coney Islander Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I would like them to keep it, but they better fix up the theming. I just went to Kings Island for the first time all year yesterday and I could tell they did add lighting effects and a bit of scenery but really they can do better. P.S. Diamondback was sweet Quote
Cormaster Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I really don't care if they remove it now. its not going to break my heart one bit! Cedar Fair took what was an awesome ride, and neutered it, and now its just a piece ol' crap! Good Riddance!! Quote
Tuskin Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Im sensing a lot of hostility from you cormaster lol I also dont care if they remove it, although it was fun at times I still cannot get through the whole smashing of the you know what if your a guy, sure you can put your feet up and try to prevent it, but sometimes that just does not work. Then again I guess every top spin would be the same way.. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I voted to get rid of it. If it's not the old program, I don't want to ride it. I believe I am joining a growing crowd with that statement. Quote
faeriewench Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 They can get rid of it. I hated Tomb raider and I hate the ride now. It was great last year. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I really don't care if they remove it now. its not going to break my heart one bit! Cedar Fair took what was an awesome ride, and neutered it, and now its just a piece ol' crap! Good Riddance!! If WooferBearATL were still around, he'd plop if he saw this, but it needs to be said: I seriously doubt that CBS would have repaired Son of Beast and re-opened it, Flight of Fear was leaving to go to another Paramount Park, Diamondback would not have been built, of course Firehawk would be Firehuh? and X-Flight would probably be at Worlds of Fun...and the point of this particular comment...I suspect that Tomb Raider: The Ride would have been permanently closed and probably sold by now. It was having problems long before the Cedar Fair acquisition. On the other hand, you'd probably have two or three more nice family style attractions in the park. Maybe. As long as they were what Jeff Seibert in his latter CBS days took to calling "cheap and cheerful." Terpy, just sayin' Quote
KIBeast Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 You said it all, Interpreter. People should be glad that CF bought the Paramount Parks. KI would now be exactly as you described. And who knows what "family" rides would have been installed. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Note I did not say family rides...I said family style attractions. Who knows what they may have been? Again, I think most here would be disappointed if Kings Island were still run by CBS. Then again, the way they were running the parks, selling would soon have become near mandatory, and not just a choice in order to maximize revenue (at which CBS succeeded by selling at the very top and grandly).

violakat03 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Is there an option for "yes please" as in please remove it? Cause that's my vote! It's a joke of ride. Wouldn't mind seeing something more like Kings Dominion's Crypt... Quote
kjkjkj Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 Is there an option for "yes please" as in please remove it? There is now lol Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 in the state it is in now, it's like a wounded horse during the Durby, just euthinise(sp?) it and call it a day I definately agree with "longlivekingscobra" on this. The crypt is a pointless ride that should be taken out of the park, just like a race horse with a broken leg. Just get rid of it Quote
