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.

Groundhog Day was a great movie, I'm betting on post 42 is when Don chimes in with his repeated quote on this subject.

Nah, I'm guessing post #18.

Unless, just maybe?

I for one miss the ride but for the foreseeable future it will remain has a haunt attraction.

^ 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.

I miss the air conditioning, I mean the ride before the Crypt.

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.

"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."

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.

Now that all the excitement of Banshee is over

Really, the excitement's over? It has only been 5 (public) days!

I do believe that there are already a number of topics regarding various aspects of this particular building's future.

But is there a poll? I was curious about statistics.

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.

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?

It was scrapped. Or so I'm told.

I would want it to be converted into a new attraction.

A new haunted house similar to the Phantom Theatre would be nice.

I would like to see a new dark ride of sorts.

The scrap? If melted down, I suppose that's possible.

Anyone with expertise care to weigh in on this?

The park said it was scrapped. What more are you looking for?

I'm guessing the poster meant te building not the scrap metal of a ride

It's some great, vertical space for some giant signage!

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.

Ding, ding, ding... we may have a winner ;-)

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 )

I had no idea how big that building really is until observing it from The Beast queue yesterday. It certainly has potential.

That's what I was thinking. What a great place for that sort of attraction.

KI needs to call Vekoma and install the best ride to ever reside inside a Tan Box

Or a Verbolten..first time riding it soon..I still miss BBW though

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.
