I was a ride operator for this in 2007... lol this thing was a maintenance nightmare XD. It had an issue where it would either overspeed on one of the flips and auto e-stop or it would 'skew'; basically one of the arms would move slightly faster than the other, causing the gondola to become tilted and cause the ride to halt. It was impressive to watch from the level II operator's spot though. This thing was gargantuan for an indoor/dark ride. But RIP people's pocket cash and phones when they didn't heed the warning to secure their crap in the pouches on the backs of the seats in front of them. That box of broken phones on display in the queue for Diamondback? Those were actually from Tomb Raider's floor.

Yeah, the main reason why we had the Tomb Raider ride was because Paramount had owned Kings Island, which that was the company that made the Tomb Raider move. They also had rides like Top Gun and Nickelodeon because the company wanted to have rides named after famous movies/ tv shows that they had made. However, in 2006, Paramount gave up the rights of kings island and sold it. That is why we don't have any Nickelodeon rides, or any rides like this anymore. However, the building where they had the Tomb Raider ride is still in Kings Island, but now it is called The Crypt, and all you do is go around in circles in a dark room. So don't waist your time on that because you wait a long time for that ride, which is pointless.

whether you enjoyed the park as Paramount or currently under Cedar Fair, we can all agree that had it not been for the both of them this park would be lacking the great thrills it boasts today. they both brought something great to the table, both in their own ways. granted, I would do anything to have a themed ride like TRTR back at the park but I know realistically that will never happen and I am 'somewhat' ok with that.

I am really excited for the new coaster going in at KI next year in the Action Zone, and Cedar Fair has made some great changes (Diamondback,) but Cedar Fair completely ruined this ride when they took over. They also ruined Boomerang Bay when they changed it to Soak City, because now instead of the waterpark being a cool down-under theme, it's a boring beach setting.

I remember doing 6 inversions on that ride! 2 suspended backwards and 1 full backwards and then 3 more in the oppoite fashion going forwards and ti was awesome. apparently it was using too much power doing that so they removed it to only do 2 flips and at that point it was boring:/

This is a common misconception. While there were notable issues during the time it was Tomb Raider it's ultimate seal that led to it's early retirement was v1 of the crypt which led to heavy modifications of the ride thereafter.

Okay, I'm just going to say it: This ride was a goose egg. Under Paramount, Kings Island was notorious for rides that had all of the hype in the world, and then they were beyond disappointing. See the original Bat, or Son of Beast, or this ride. I mean, I guess this ride was fun, but it was too short, the special effects were, meh, and you could barely hear the soundtrack. The capacity for this attraction was even worse, and their system for loose belongings was slow and laborious. I'm not a huge Cedar Fair fan, but I can't say that I miss this ride. Actually, under Cedar Fair, Kings Island has become an incredible park.
