The Crypt (Kings Island)

The Crypt (Kings Island)

The Crypt was a Giant Top Spin thrill ride located at Kings Island amusement park in Mason, Ohio. Originally constructed by former owners Paramount Parks, the ride officially opened as Tomb Raider: The Ride on April 5, 2002. It featured numerous special effects in relation to the theme of the 2001 Paramount film, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Following the 2007 season, new park owner Cedar Fair removed all references to the film from both the ride and its indoor queue line. The name was also changed to The Crypt.

An outdoor, smaller version of the ride opened at sister park Kings Dominion in Virginia in 2005 as Tomb Raider: FireFall. Its name was also changed to The Crypt prior to the 2008 season.
