For those of you that don't know... the city I live in has a Paramount amusement park and one of the thrill rides is a Tomb Raider ride. This opened in 2002. I was there the first weekend it was opened and took lots of pics and video.... anyways, the company I work for had the park for the whole weekend just for its employees and I got to ride it again. Aww brings back memories.... this time I was in the front row, right in the center.... could see and FEEL everything. I got a little bit wet but it was fun.

The ride is a Huss Top Spin. It looks like this but the one I rode is inside surrounded in a building.

I actually hung upside down for a few seconds...

Hey Trinity, I changed the picture you posted into a link because it was absolutely massive and broke the margins a bit (and would be a bit annoying for any members on dial-up). But if you want to re-size and edit your post to put the picture back in that's fine ~Shrensh

nothing like hanging upside down and let that good old blood get into your brain... you are so lucky and I am so jealous!!

I'm not a particular fan of that type of rides!! But glad you managed to go back to the Park and have a good time!!

I'm with you BPanther, they look scary, but I go sometimes only when my younger sis really wants me to go on a ride like that with her

Awe man I have a need for speedy rides and I got to go one of these days.

I just came across these vids of the ride.

Had originally thought "I'd ride it cause it Tomb Raider"....that was looking at Trinity's pic.

Having now seen the Video's that Hardcore provided... not so sure anymore, LOL!!

Believe it or not the one in Ohio (the one near me) is in doors in the dark which is not as scary as the one outdoors. I was more scared of that one. It probably because you can see how high you are, in the dark you can't.
