Aside from Roller Coasters, this is one of the primary reasons I visit Kings Island.
Ride the Tomb Raider.
You don't know what to expect until you actually ride it.
No, It's not a Roller Coaster
No, It's not a Motion Simulator
It's Tomb Raider: The Ride

tomb raider is the best!!!! the best time to ride is when the park opens, just to beat the crowds!

last year was my first time on it i thought it was okay kinda boring just flipping upside down n stuff but i'd ride it again.

tomb raider is a great ride and the only thing it needs is to be a longer ride

omg i absolutly love this ride it is so awesome

I Love this ride toltaly worth the wait.

Loved it the first year. Ok now. A lot of the theming doesn't work anymore and the staff doesn't run it well like they used to.
I think the ride needs to be longer and reprogrammed. It is my understanding all the movement is controlled by a program that is configurable, so why not change it up a bit and make it another one of Laura's adventures :). Not sure if they can do that now with naming rights of paramount, maybe CF will wait till the naming rights expire and they can retheme it then.

That was the scariest ride i rode at KI. i was scared when they hung us upsidedown

like i said I CANT WAIT!

The tomb raider was wicked! I went into shock, not just because if the flips, but because of how cool it was! It was much better than I expected, and I'm glad I tried it out! I can't wait to go again next summer!

its a good ride but the front row ... s its better in the back

GREAT RIDE

i chickened out on this ride

I love this ride the thrills are intense!

I havent rode the tomb raider yet because I havent been to Kings Island in a year but when I go Probably July,28,2007 I am going to ride it with my cousin,my sister,and my uncle.

i bet u will get scared

it was my first time and i ha d no idea it was was going to flip that was messed up but it was still awesome.

OMG THIS RIDE IS THE BEST RIDE AT KINGS ISLAND!!!!AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DIDNT RIDE IT YOU SHOULD JUST TRY IT!!!IT IS COMEPETLY SAFE!!!COME ON!!!!TRY IT!!!WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!!!!

I love thrill rides, and roler coasters. This ride was the scariest thing I ever rode. Make sure you put EVERYTHING in the zip pouch. I almost lost my necklace, then I got shot in the face with water. I rode it because the movie was awesome. I loved all the movie props when i was waiting inline, and the music. The scariest thing was not knowing what's going to happen, and I still can't explain what it does to anyone. It's fun to ride with people who never rode it b4.

Paramount kind of cheaped out on this ride. It's a classic Top Spin ride with a theme. I would have preferred a Tomb Raider based ride to be something more along the lines of The Mummy at Universal Studios, but what can you do? If it's a long line, just skip it. It's really not worth it. Definitely not for those who get sick from a lot of flipping upside down (or being held mercilessly upside down for 10 seconds or so). If it's a short line, go for it. If the line is swinging around the side of the building, skip it.

the cyrpt? thats lame

I cannot wait to get on this ride it ! I have been on several rides like it but not with the special effects that this ride has.

i love this ride its prolly the best non roller coaster ride

I am one of the first people to go on this ride when it was called the Crypt. I was there opening day of 'The Crypt'. There are no effects or anything. THE LINE IS LONGER THAN YOU THINK!!! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!! IT'S JUST A MILLION FLIPS AND STARING AT PUDDLES ON THE GROUND LEFT OVER FROM TOMB RAIDER!!!

i wish they would've kept the same theming, but take out anything that was made from tomb raider, like for instance the movie in the beginning, because i never got to ride this ride with the tomb raider theme and i dont plan on riding it now.

i just rode "the crypt" yesterday and will NEVER ride it again! when it was the tomb raider ride i was totally in love with it and rode it multiple times in a row. the effects used to be such a thrill, and while scary, the ride was not painful at all. NOW they have pulled out ALL the wall images and props from the ride itself and left nothing but bare walls with the steel supports showing and lots of plain old concrete to stare at while it violently tries to shake you off the ride. the sign out front says that "there are now more thrills on this ride", but in reality, all they did was jack the speed up so it spins the crap out of you and leaves a ton of bruises. my b/f has some MINOR back problems, but they never acted up from the "tomb raider" ride, even after multiple rides along with me, but with the new violent speed up, this ride threw his back out and he had to be taken out of there in a stretcher and carted off to the medic area for the rest of the evening. i have a couple of bruises on my shoulders from the restraints when it was shaking everyone so hard.
i think the new name suits the new ride style well...this ride is dying and it's already got it's "crypt" ready to be buried. i have a feeling this thing won't even last out this season. it's totally worthless and painful now, so they might as well tear it down now before it injures someone else.

Lame!! this ride is lame as hell!! i didn't scream at all!

Did they change the ride and theme or just the name

when i go to kings island the ride is always closed

One of the BEST rides at Kings Island!!

when my sister got off on her very first try back when it was called tomb raider she cryed it was hilarous

I will never ride this again. My friends had ridden it when it was still Tomb Raider. They mentioned everything about it. Then when we get there, they go "this looks different". We see the demon and think "Looks fun". But when we get in, nothing. No effects or anything. Just going upside down. We waited a hour for that. Never again.

This ride was one of my favorites from Kings Island... But I must say that my favorite ride there was "Firehawk"!
But anyway i thought that the crypt was pretty short, and I wish that it did more turns..

omg i haven't been on it since they changed it but is it really that boring? i liked the little movie and the creepy line! aw man that's just stupid. that makes me mad i liked tomb raider!

I just went to Kings Island yesterday,
And hadn't rode TR:TR since last season.
So I made our group go ride "The Crypt", Cuz I loved Tomb Raider.
Now it's so dumb.
They changed it soo much, it's ridiculous.
Now it's just flipping in the dark.
SWEET.
not.
:/
I waited for about an hour.
:z not worth it.

okay, for one, EVERY seat is the 'dangler seat' now, its so annoying.
its a greaat ride, but the theming is terrible. i went on it on wednesday, july 16th, 2008, and my friend [who was riding it for the first time with me] walked into the ride room, and he was like 'thats it?' i think this is the one ride they should've kept the liscense for.

Disappointment. I can't believe they changed this ride, I mean, It's just boring, no lava, no water, special effect, music...NOTHING. WHY!?
IMO, they need to bring the effects back.

this is dissapointing. i mean, really, cedar fair could have done a better job. a demon thing eating a skeleton corpse? you can see the operator in the window! you can still see the imprint of the goddess woman! why?!?!? a lady in line for this said, "is this a water coaster or something?" ha ha.
