[B&MIntaminGCIHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

It could have been worse, they could have placed it near Drop Zone/Tower whatever it's called. They would have been like fraternal twins.

^Now hopefully they can get it running on a consistent basis again...good to see that they're giving it some TLC. Crypt has been going downhill fast the last few years.

[KDCOASTERFANI prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

It actually looks shorter to me that I though it would look like...

Me would like one shipped to KD asap!

I second that!!

Was riding flying ace yesterday & that thing gives me vertigo & it's only 85 ft tall so imagine that same basic experience from the height of DT or I305....I'll bet alot of folks are gonna come of shaking after the ride worse than I did on skycoaster.

Ive never been on the ride, what exactly are we looking at here?

[KI KiddHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

It is the entrance to The Crypt (HUSS Giant Top Spin) ride chamber. When it opened as Tomb Raider: The Ride there was a door that closed off the ride chamber from the rest of the que so that those waiting could not see the ride before boarding. When CF took over and had to 'de-theme' the ride the door was removed so that those waiting to board could see the ride in action. This picture shows the new door installed this off season.

Got it, thank you for that explanation.

[chickenbowlJason X versus the Robot Space Donkey!]

I rode the Crypt last year, and I thought the theming was good (that demon thing), but the ride cycle itself was super short and only flipped like once, which I thought was really lame for the largest Top Spin in the world. It has a lot of potential.

[Geauga DogThe only thing better than a naked woman is a naked donkey!]

The winged demon animatronic was pretty cool but the ride experience is laughable now. I miss the Tomb Raider ride cycle.
