My guess is they just take out the stuff that would be considered copyrighted aka the big statue things and logo ... and maybe add something else in place of those, because if u think about it the only part of the actual ride (not the waiting areas) that is clearlying a tomb raider thing is at the beginning with the girl and the lights otherwise you could really potentially use the other parts of the scenery still with the crypt.

I still don't get Interpreters hint.

Anyway, I guess that since there getting rid of most of the Copyrighted Tomb Raider stuff, the ride should probably work more consistantly.

We all now know that TR:TR will be The Crypt and not removed in the 2008 season. As far 2009 and beyond are concerned, I'm a writer, not a fortune teller.

If it works as consistantly as it did in 2002, I say keep it.

If it works as consistantly as it did in 2007, I say trash it.

There were reasons it operated as it did in 2007.

Depending on how you define "it," "it" is back for this year, or you will never ride "it" again.

All will be revealed. To some on April 19, to others on April 20, and to yet others when they read it here or elsewhere or go to the park for the first time this season.

TR:TR didn't operate very much at all in 2007 because of a...broke motherboard, right?

That's what someone said here......

Nothing has been confirmed, and I doubt sincerely it will be.

Just wait. You'll see.

O.K.

And If Tomb Raider...ugh... CRYPT doesn't operate with something Like a broke Motherboard, then I understand.

Considering that Kings Island listed its new name on their website, I'll assume that the ride formerly known as TR:TR will operate in the 2008 season as "The Crypt".

HEY - are we going to start referring to changed-name rides at KI as...."The coaster formerly known as TIJ, etc."????

Have a great weekend!

Italian Chef

Well, since that coaster was never known as TIJ, that should be interesting....and confusing!

I hope the ride formally known as TR:TR reopens this season, and the ride formally known as IJST shares TR:TR's Rumored fate.

Hey I like the ride formally known as IJST.

Actually that would be the ride formerly (as in the past...); not formally (as in polite society and among people of supposed fine distinction and high class...)

^good to see that there's at least one teacher in this skool!

He does that quite often. Its quite impressive if I do say so myself

Well I'm on Spring Break right now, so the last thing I need is another teacher!

Either way, It's still helpful.

So wait, has it been announced what flats (if any) we're getting from Geauga Lake? Cuz they had like 2 or 3 top spin things, and if Crypt was to be removed it would be replaced by one of theirs, but that just seems stupid. Idk, either way i was never really fond of what was "formally" known as TR:TR because it only flipped like once and it left most males with a feeling that they would never have children.

No we are not getting any flats from Geauga Lake and no TR:TR aka The Crypt is not being removed either. I wonder how many times this has been repeated around the forums haha

^That should go in the funny rumors thread!

Uh, Tomb Raider the Ride HAS been removed...

...it is being replaced with...

And Geauga Lake did NOT have two or three Top Spin things. The ONE they did have has already been relocated.

No we are not getting any flats from Geauga Lake

Which is odd because if I remember correctly YOU are the one who said we are getting a few flats from GL before the new 2009 coaster.

And Geauga Lake did NOT have two or three Top Spin things. The ONE they did have has already been relocated.

Or, you know, you could say the Top Spin thing got FIRED from Geauga Lake and, on the way out, it managed to trip and FALL and get back up at a Great American amusement park in California.

....I know, I'm bad with puns.

...it is being replaced with...

 

And its 2016, and there sits an empty building only to be used during Halloween Haunt.

For now

Surprises are best with extra topping.

Did someone say cranes?

I can see it now. "Crypt 2.0" the former home of the worlds only Giant Top Spin has been reoccupied with a larger, meaner relative. Taking riders through 10 mind bending inversions, this new and revolutionized version of the Huss Giant Top Spin offers greater capacity and greater reliability. Do you dare re-enter the lost tomb?

For quite a few years, HUSS would've been happy to sell you a Giant Top Spin with a whopping 77-person capacity.

 

Just a few years later, the HUSS Giant Top Spin was still available... carrying only 51(?).

 

And now? Well... Maybe for the right price.
