As a farewell to the ride, here’s a promo video from when it opened as Tomb Raider: Firefall in 2005, featuring then- GM of KD and current CEO of Cedar Fair, Richard Zimmerman.

I was never a big fan of this ride, but I have some cool memories of riding this with my family as a kid when it first opened.

What I’ve found is that no matter my personal opinion of a ride, I know there are those who had fond memories of it. Farewell, The Crypt.

OK so since the park seems to be on a roll getting rid of rides that can't run properly

Who wants to place bets on when Drop Zone and Windseeker get the axe?

 

[Jonesta6]

Maybe it's for another thread on KD removals, but I'm gonna guess that they wouldn't remove WindSeeker anytime soon since it's one of the newer rides and appears to not have any major downtime issues (though slow loading operations may be impacting capacity).

I wonder if anybody has the soundtrack for it? Or was it made specifically for the ride

Official announcement is out, plus a blog post.

According to the blog post:

Like many decisions, removing the Crypt is about improving guest experience and in this case, even future adventures for our guests. While we aren’t ready to say what that means… get ready.

Things are lurking in the jungle.

Hmm...

 

[Pretzel Kaiser]

I mean, not having a ride that brought guests pain would certainly improve the guest experience.

I wonder if they would have posted this video if KDFans didn't post about this yesterday.....

Interesting to tease for a flat/coaster replacement in January. A bit earlier than usual.

Probably know they need to do something before the BGW hype train gets going

 

[Pretzel Kaiser]

They teased a Volcano replacement for a while.

Not until weeks after the park opened. In fact, today is the first time KD has ever officially mentioned anything new coming to Safari Village online.

Can a park like actually announce that a ride is closing while it is still rideable for once

Well sure but was Crypt ever truly rideable?

Can a park like actually announce that a ride is closing while it is still rideable for once

Solution: On the last day of every season, ride every ride in the park. Checkmate KD! Last rides achieved!

 

[Pretzel Kaiser]

The ride with the least amount of riders is eliminated.

So it's you are the weakest ride good bye?

 

[horsesboy]

Timeout. Think for just one second. Crypt got a goodbye video. Volcano did not ?

Volcano got flowers and a sign is anyone really going to miss Tomb?

KI did this the past 2 years fwiw.

It may have seen better days, but I’m going to miss that theming.
