How's Tomb Raider?

First off I love TRTR. It is an awsome themed ride experience. It is the worlds first giant top spin and the ride itself is massive. Just the fact that something that big and heavy can move as quick as it does or at all is awsome. They have had some downtime with the ride but it is to be expected. Its a new ride and a prototype at that.

As far as the actual ride goes, it does not flip as much or go as crazy as some top spins because the moves the ride makes are paced out to run with the themeing. As far as the holding you upside down goes. The volcano is a great effect and it is unique because you dont see it right side up. The ride lowers you into the volcano upside down. The first two times I rode it, the blood did rush to my head and i felt kinda off ballance when I got off, but ever since then it hasnt given me a problem. Also for those who say it is too short, the ride is two and a half min long.

Give TRTR a chance before you judge it. Its a great ride, with nothing else realy to compare it to. Especially Spider Man. They are nothing, let me repeat nothing alike.

For those about to ROCK, WE SALUTE YOU!!!!!

I beleive it gets better on the second and third ride. I've personnaly have never ridden anything like it before. I love the building its in.

I do wish that it could give you some faster spins at some point of the ride. I hope they work with the program to make it a bit more thrilling as far as spin.

The ride is decent. The only thing wrong with it is the lack of spins. That could be settle by not holding you for so long. To me, PKI is not taking very good care of certain areas of the ride. The que line stands out. The paint on the bam boo is already wearing down, in some parts it is gone. Some of you think that PKI is a world class park. This maybe true but show some class and take care of your rides.

But yes I recommend it.

My opinion:

The overall experience is awesome. It is very immersive.

The ride itself is very short and not too intense. The ride is actually a bit boring.

I don't judge TR:TR by the ride, I judge it by the entire experience from entrance to exit. And that, my friends, is awesome.

I hope you're right EnChezz. It'd make a great experience and a decent ride even better.

OK-I'm going to ask my silly question. I've been wondering forever and assuming I'd figure it out one day but I haven't. What is a top spin? Can someone give me an example of one (though I understand it won't be a giant indoor model) at another park? Thanks.

Do you play RCT, dawnmarie?

You know the graviton in it? that is what a topspin is.

I believe if you go to www.amusementrides.de they have a video and several photos.

Hope that helps!
