The Interpreter Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hey, WE didn't start it. It started in Losantiville. And it WAS inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 This brought back some memories of the old (good) TR:TR. Thank you very much for posting it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 OK, enough fooling around. Would somebody please explain to me exactly when, where, and how the "downtown" joke originated? I'd very much like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The Crypt during its final years basically was Tomb Raider: The Ride minus the story, effects, and synchronized music. How can you say the Crypt's cycle with its marry-go-round program was like TRTR?! Crypt didn't hold you upside-down, or do a top spin. And it was much slower. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crypt featured 2 flips in it's later years and the ride was slower than molasses. TR:TR featured 4 flips and held riders upside-down. Now post TR:TR early Crypt, 9 flips in the intense cycle for a year, TR:TR didn't hold a candle to that cycle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd very much like to know. Yes. It's been explained here numerous times. After one of the ride's many revisions, a park marketing person at Kings Island, who often posts here, Mr. Don Helbig, posted in these forums that The Crypt had been very popular the year before, and that, contrary to perceptions, it was almost always open, as it had far less downtown. Several weeks later, a very similar post appeared, also by the park, also citing The Crypt's reduced downtown. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know it was considered an inside joke tho :b Thanks Terpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Good stuff; thanks for posting- for some strange reason, the ending quote sounds very familiar: "Nothing gets the best of Laura Croft, unless she lets them, and I didn't raise that kind of girl" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOFirehawkFAN Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 This used to be one of my all time favorite rides the first few seasons it was opened. I remember waiting in line with others who had no idea what kind of ride they were even getting on. Does anyone have a video of the old intro room show?

SupremoSteveo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I remember riding this for the first time back in '03 with no clue what to expect. I loved every second of it. It was a great escape from the heat too. Couldn't help but feel a little sad walking by it last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I thought it was going to be a coaster the first time I rode it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
