Hey PKI fans, let's talk about Tomb Raider

I stand corrected. Tomb Raider is the greatest movie of all time and should be up for an Oscar. Now if only they would make Duck Hunt - The Motion Picture. You older folks will know what I mean.

MR. OR MRS. SEAN,:)

I have seen the blueprint and I have to tell it is most deffinetly not right!!!! As for thinking outside of the box, who said I wasn't!!!! There are a million different things TR:TR could be!!!! After TR:TR will be somthing nobody has seen before right!:) :)

-----------------

Anbody else have an opinion on Tomb Raider the Ride,,,,,wahoo skipper,DDfire19,CoasterFanMatt,"Mr. or Mrs. Sean," anybody out there?

-----------------

Sorry I just have to say it but I find it very cool that other people on here don't want a top spin as well.

DDfire.....your dreamin.

Right On PkI FaNaTiC!!!!!!

I agree with Sean and Shaggy, the ride itself will only be a part of the expirience. From the time you walk into the que building to the point you exit after the ride, you will be immursed in Tomb Raider. I personnally can't wait to see what Technifex and PKI have instore for us in 2002.

-------------
Welcome back riders, hope you've enjoyed your ride, push down and then pull up on your lap bars and exit to your right, walk down the exit ramp and enjoy the rest of your day here at Paramount's Kings Island.

I thought Tomb Raider the Ride was going to be somthing nobody has seen before. Right?........
-----------------

I am just going to say one thing and I think I've said it earlier..... We only saw the first part of Tomb Raider the Ride being built!!! Who knows what they have done since then?!! PKI still has over 4 months to complete TR:TR and there was a lot of land still left behind TR:TR when we saw the last photo's of it in November.
-----------------

TR:TR2002,

My comment about 'thinking outside the box' wasn't exactly meant for you but rather an agreement with Shaggy. You are right, there are many things that TR could be, but there are also million things it wont' be. Since you didn't post your name, that is why I asked if you were a "Ms." That wasn't meant to be a flame.

The ride is indeed a world's first. No one will have another one of these next year if I am mistaken. So, yes, technically, nobody has seen this exact ride before.

Charlie,

While there may be people that don't want to see a large flat ride or something similar, there are a lot of people that would love to see it. One of the biggest complaints I have heard from people at the park is they don't have a wammer-jammer flat ride. Personally, I like the flat rides the park has, but I have heard people complain about this in the past.

The park needs to trying something different for a change. Some people may not find that to be very cool, but many others will. I am in no way a fortune teller, but I have a prediction that those that are going to be disapointed with what the ride actually is, are the same people that were 'wanting' something the ride isn't.

Me?

I know whatever Tomb Raider ends up being is going to be an adventure of sorts. I am going into this whole thing with a very open mind, and will most likely enjoy it more due to the fact that I understand that while I may have a solid idea or two about the actual ride, that doesnt' mean much until I am actually on the ride having the experiance.

It's the 'whole package' that counts. Those that dont' want to give that a chance, are not being forced into it. Correct? So for those that think PKI let you down come opening day, try going into the whole next project with an open mind, less expectations, and I am sure you will appreciate it more. It works for me.

-Sean

That's all right....... yeah you are right there are also a million things it couldn't be as well.... I guess well just have to sit and wait.................................
-----------------

Have any of you seen the movie? If you have, do you remember the part where she falls into the temple at Cambodia, that would be cool if they could somehow manage to do that......... I said it would be cool, I'm not saying it's gonna, but it's nice to dream about what TR:TR could be like. I as well have a pretty good Idea on what TR:TR MIGHT be but I'm not going to make any judgments....... I can't wait to fully experience TR:TR in the spring of 2002............:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) OH Yeah Sean, my name is Nick Turner

-----------------

I really hope its not a Top Spin, not only because they tend to make me a little sick, but I know they do this to other people as well and I would hope the ride system could reach the largest audience possible to help out to park, whether it will be something I particularly enjoy or not.

But, if it indeed turns out to be a Top Spin-esque attraction, I don't think I'll be any less happy than if it were something else, because I do know many people thoroughly enjoy them and it brings even more variety into the park than before. We've not had a spin and puke ride since... do we actually have a moderately intense spin and puke?

Anyways, I'll definitely enjoy everything outside the box and if Ill have to escape down the chicken chute instead of on the ride vehicle, that will just have to be. I'm guessing PKI won't even have a ride be that dizzying just so everyone can see the great work they've put into the theming. I'm excited! Whatever it may be. I'll be there.

When it comes to Tomb Raider I agree with Sean F! Minds are like parachutes...they work best when open. Of course one should NEVER open a parachute while on a coaster...that could be dangerous. Speaking of dangerous does anyone think its only a matter of time before that Crocodile Hunter get's an arm bitten off? Perhaps that is more than a crocodile can chew but that doesn't stop many who post on C-buzz from biting off more than they can chew. So chew on this: for those of you who wanted TR:TR to be a coaster or wanted PKI to add a Giga or Tera next year stop acting like you've been personally offended because TR:TR isn't what you wanted.

Hey...I brought that full circle...cool!

Matthew -- in need of caffeine!

Nobody knows what Tomb Raider the ride will be because as the press release says......."TR:TR will change the face of thrill ride history and will become one of the worlds greates adventure rides in the world," I can't imagine what this thing will be,,,,, I mean, the quee line sounds just as good as the ride itself....!!!!

-----------------

What is the rumored $40M for?

And does a top spin have "the vehicle of escape"?

-Derek

Derek, you proved Shaggy's and Sean F.'s points exactly.

Arrrrg!

It is not costing $40M

Shaggy

Derek -- perhaps I'm wrong but I think you need to read Sean and Shaggy's comments more closely. They've reported that at the press day the park said, "Tomb Raider The Ride is the most ambitous addition ever undertaken in the 30 year history of the park including the 2 year $40M Action Zone Area."

IMHO the easiest way to understand that comment it to substitute the words "grand scale" for the word "ambitious." The park is not saying Tomb Raider costs more than $40 million, they're saying they're doing something on more of a "grande scale" than when they added the Action Zone. You could also substitute the word "risky" for "ambitious." I have never seen a price tag associated with Tomb Raider but then I'm not following the developments as closely as some.

Hope that makes sense...back to your regularly scheduled debate.
