I was poking around the internet for more news about the ride and found this. I don't know how accurate this is but it looks pretty definate.


(8/28/2001) For weeks there have been mentions here and there of something BIG coming from Huss Rides. With the unveiling of their new website this week, they introduce the world to their new GIANT RIDES line, a collection of XXL sized versions of your favorite and some new unique Huss Rides. Four giant monster contraptions will make up the opening line-up with more promised to follow in the coming year. The first rides we’ll get to see in early 2002 look to be a Giant Top Spin (Tomb Raider @ PKI), and a Giant Frisbee (Psyclone @ PCW). The other two “Giant” rides are Jump2 and Delirium, a rather strange looking piece of hardware that looks like it throws four of the old normal Frisbee ride vehicals together in one giant colossus. On top of all this Huss is now heavily promoting their new custom themeing elements, showing off that they are willing to add any theme to their rides that a customer could possibly ever want. Check out the Huss website to see for yourself a fun idea for the whole Giant Rides line called Land of the Giants as well as some 3D animation of the new rides in action.

Here is the Hess website... http://www.hussrides.com/31GiantTopSpin.htm


I know the building for the ride is going to be 8 stories tall so a giant top spin ride would work. While on the Huss website I did not see any press release stating anything for the TR ride. The website where I found the article is...

no. the park closed on Nov. 4th. Paramount does not keep it open over the winter but there is a preview party in April. That's when the park opens to the press and those lucky people who can win tickets! http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I heard something else if anyone is interested......

I read over in the UltimateCoster forum that Paramount Kings Island had given a presentation at the Coaster Convention in Chicago about the TR ride and the words to describe the ride were..."heavily themed, dark Top Spin ride". That is all that was said by Paramount, they are still not giving out anymore info. :( But..... :D two months and counting!!!!!! :D

I am beginning to think that Jeff Seibert was the one to contact not Jennifer Bowers because he is the one who sends out the email updates and he gave the presentation in Chicago.

I haven't heard anything. :( :D Two months and counting!! :D
