 Review of The Crypt @ Kings Dominion

Awesome flat. I got a chance to ride Tomb Raider in only its second day of operation, and even with limited time they still ran it well, even though I have heard that it has had its share of downtime (hey, its new, what do you expect?). The effects were all coordinated very well, and just the mix of water, fire, music and good flipping made for a killer ride. The cycle was fairly long, about 3 minutes if I recall, and the program is pretty good. Though not insane like the one at Coney, this top spin rotated well to maximize the effect of the water and fire. Dangling the riders just feet from the water jets was cool, and from that perspective five feet may only seem like five inches. The last series of flips (about 5 or 6, I dont recall specifically) was really fun, though another flip or two would have made it a good possibility to get a 10. Overall, a fun flat, and personally, my favorite ride at the park.

Good review, Bob. Although more flips would have been cool, the ride was scaring enough people out of line as it is. I swear, each time I ran back in line, about 4 people wimped out as soon as they saw the ride actually start up, lol

FYI, the final flip series was 4 flips

^Its actually 5 inversions if you include the "non-flipping" inversion. Then the gondola is released and it flips four times, but in all its five inversions

Hmm... I wrote down 5. Let me think about it some more...
Well, now ferg adds a comment so maybe its 4.5

I didnt feel this type of love for the ride but I also didnt get all the effects due to the weather, but these are just not my rides, the theming was very good though.

^^What the heck does that mean???? It inverts a total of eight times, 3 the first time it flips and 5 the second.....
