Which ride would you ride again if you could? TRTR/SOB

Featured Replies

Big surprise answer of the year: Tomb Raider. Both SoB and Tomb Raider make me nostalgic for the era of the park I grew up with, but Tomb Raider is basically responsible for me having the interest in working in the amusement industry that I have today.

Tomb Raider. After what FusionDude/Just Kidding/Mr. Christopher posted in the other thread, I can tell I missed a lot. I've seen pictures, but they don't compare to the video (and I'm sure the video didn't compare to the real thing). I would really like to experience something like that.

I picked Son of Beast simply because I never got the chance to ride it in any form. I did get the chance to ride the Crypt's final two-flip cycle a few times in 2010 and 2011, so I'm not completely without rides on the Giant Top Spin like I am on SOB. And the Crypt, in its final form, was OK to me (keeping in mind that I never saw it in any other form); it served as a nice, air-conditioned break from the bigger rides.

Wow, this is a hard choice...do I choose the giant wooden looping hypercoaster that I never got to ride in any form, or the awesome-looking indoor giant top spin that I rode, but when I did so it was already downgraded into garbage?

Hmm...well, Son of Beast started getting bad reviews from the get-go, but that kind of adds to its charm as I'd be interested in seeing just how bad it was...but TR:TR was an epic dark ride experience like none other...ugh, you know what, null vote...I can't choose! :wacko:

(Builds a Time Machine, and sets the date for May 2002...location: Paramount's Kings Island, Ohio...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOW I CAN RIDE TR:TR AND SOB WITH LOOP AND EVEN FLYING EAGLES!!!) :P ...ok, not really, but I wish...

SoB because of memories with my dad. I wish I would have rode TR:TR though. It sounds like it was an amazing ride.

I rode both when they were new, and for years afterwards. There's no comparison (in my opinion).

110% Son of Beast. The last time I rode it was opening day 2009. I would love to have one last ride on it to say goodbye.

Son of Beast gets my vote, I loved it in it's original form. Tomb Raider bored me even when it was fully operational.

Wow, this is a tough one, but I'd have to go with Son of Beast. While Tomb Raider was awesome and breathtaking, I've only ridden it twice in it's original form (I've ridden Son of Beast with the loop a few more times). Also, I'd kind have gotten used to The Crypt's meh cycle enough to be OK with it leaving the park.
