Hey PKI fans, let's talk about Tomb Raider

Glenn,

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't see anyone arguing about TR on here anymore. Perhaps earlier in the thread maybe, but it has died down.

Shaggy,

Little tube of?????? LOL! I won't even go there.

I also hope another adventure will come knocking soon! After seeing the picture, you saw my reaction. I think we both had the same reaction if I am not mistaken. =:^)

-Sean ( who didn't lose a tube of ???, but will admit likes to step on others feet when excited............whatever that means) F.

"it says here his name is david mandt" "tomb raider i dont know what you are talking about but i think some thing is happening on the other side of the park" "here we are somewhere on the other side of the park"

BandM4ever,

Are you saying Tomb Raider is going to attack Rivertown or something like that? LOL!

Sorry I had to say something funny...

Derek (who thinks he's crazy, LOL)

What is going on with PKI's Webcam? I don't see anything!

It`s been down since I think October 6th. I don`t know why or if they plan to fix it since it has been quite some time and the park is aware that its not working properly.
-----------------
I`ve ridden Son of Beast 67 times!

It seems that the "blueprints" of TR:TR have been removed from Screamscape. Hmm...

I'm still going with my gut feeling that this isn't a variation of a top spin flat ride as many of the workers(like they really know, but anyway) I've talked with from PKI this year say a variation of something that it's like a roller coaster, but there's a lot of special effects and water, and you watch a screen on the ride or something. A couple sounded a lot like a motion simulator film box like the upcharge by FOF or like the Busch Bermuda Triangle, Arctic Adventure, and Egytian Adventure sims at their parks. Who knows? Guess we'll have to continue to wait and see...

PKI confirmed at the press announcement as well as the recent No-Coaster event that Tomb Raider is not in any way shape or form a motion similator.

Here are some key things that have been confirmed:

-It combines, thrill, water and visual effects.

-It is not a rollercoaster

-It is not a similator

-Passengers will NOT be wearing any 3-D glasses.

-This is a new ride unit that does not exist anywhere.

-The height restriction is 54".

That pretty much sums it up for me.

In other words, we know what it's not, but especially since it hasn't been created anywhere else before, we have no clue what it is?

But, 1) you don't need 3-D glasses to have a screen/film, 2)pretty much any type of ride or show can be a simulator(btw, is it supposed to be a trick that you misspelled simulator?) such as a flying coaster simulating flight or Twister: Ride It Out simulating a tornado, 3) a ride can feel like a coaster and/ or fit the definition, whether it is considered to be so or not (Intamin First Gen. and Reverse Drop Towers, sim box film), 4) thrill, water, and visual effects can be added and mean anything, 5) the fact that the ride unit doesn't exist anywhere can mean anything too, as it could just be a variation of something that already exists, or something completely new, especially since I've heard its in-house design for the ride vehicle, and 6) I don't know if the height restriction really helps or not. Does anyone know any non-coasters with restrictions over 52-54"?

So, as of now, with the information we have, I say its pretty open to be about anything (besides what we've been told its not , of course). :)

Is this new ride unit "something" we have never seen before?
