DBInternational Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Now that all the excitement of Banshee is over, our next topic of interest is the former TRTR/Crypt building and its future with the park. It currently remains a large tan box in Rivertown that is only being used to occupy a Haunt attraction for about 1/3 of the season. If this building were to be torn down, a fairly large chunk of room would be opened up for future park expansion. On the other hand, it's exterior is already very well themed for a jungle adventure type ride. So now, my question is: do you think KI should tear it down, build a new attraction inside it, or just keep it the way it is as only a Haunt attraction.

Jr for Birdy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Groundhog Day was a great movie, I'm betting on post 42 is when Don chimes in with his repeated quote on this subject. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I for one miss the ride but for the foreseeable future it will remain has a haunt attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 ^ Guys he didn't say the park will tear it down. He's just saying if you were in charge, what would you do. As for myself, I've always loved the idea of putting in an indoor wild mouse coaster or a second dark ride. I can't decide which, but I definitely think it should be used to house a new attraction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I miss the air conditioning, I mean the ride before the Crypt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 We know, but we also know where the topic leads into, and that's usually a quote from Don. Jr... trying to beat out post #18 fast! Just kidding Goble, I'll stop now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBInternational Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 "As for the former Crypt building, it is not being removed. It's not in use Opening Day through Labor Day so it was taken out. It will return on the Haunt map in the fall." Posted by DonKIPR on 21 March 2014 - 04:19 PM I understand that he posted this. But this is a topic regarding people's opinion not what's already been decided. Also I failed to mention that I did not mean in the next year, but just meant the future in general (yeah I know kinda broad). I apologize for the confusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Now that all the excitement of Banshee is over Really, the excitement's over? It has only been 5 (public) days! I understand that he posted this. But this is a topic regarding people's opinion not what's already been decided. Also I failed to mention that I did not mean in the next year, but just meant the future in general (yeah I know kinda broad). I do believe that there are already a number of topics regarding various aspects of this particular building's future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think the building should be used as a museum outlining the history of our noodly overlord. At least until Goble sees the light and realizes the true majesty and wonder of our giant noodle. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Much like Son of Beast- the big tan box (does that need capitalized????) will remain a status quo symbol until something is ready to replace it. As good as they have done with Banshee- I'm expecting something "unexpected" to be placed in there. While I'm at it- what happened to the giant Topspin anyway? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I would want it to be converted into a new attraction. The scrap? If melted down, I suppose that's possible. Anyone with expertise care to weigh in on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 My best guess is that it will someday be repurposed into a fantastic, immersive queue line for new dark ride ala Dark Castle. All that would need to be created is a soundstage size building to actually house the ride itself. Although I would love to see a Mack water coaster in it's place.

DJSkyFoxx Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'd be happy to see a new attraction placed in there. I mean its a nice spacious building...something good could go in there. I guess only time will tell. All I know is that I miss TR:TR and it would be cool to see something of that caliber be placed inside there ( I have my doubts, but then again after seeing the impressive theming of Banshee there is still hope ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I mean until I hear more about CW Wonder Mountain Guardian, this takes the cake. I mean, two launches, few seconds of airtime, some nice laterals in the helix, neat theming/music, then kinda creepy too. Then a BBW homeage finale. The building is huge I'm sure something like this could go in there, it would be a fantastic addition to the park IMO. The drop track deal is very intriguing to me as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
