TOMB
RAIDER FIREFALL ANNOUNCED
Another
Hollywood big-screen spectacular comes
to life at Paramount's Kings Dominion
with the addition of TOMB RAIDER:
The Ride, a new multi-sensory adventure
attraction for 2005. Inspired by the
popular Eidos Interactive, Inc. action
games and Paramount Pictures' blockbuster
films Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle
of Life starring Academy AwardŽ winner
Angelina Jolie, the park's newest
thrill attraction will launch adventurers
on the ride of their lives.
TOMB
RAIDER: The Ride begins with a journey
deep into the jungle, past mysterious
ruins and the debris of failed expeditions.
As a sense of impending doom grows,
budding adventurers discover an ancient
mechanical artifact. To prove their
true bravery, the courageous explorers
are strapped aboard the massive stone
and steel altar. Within seconds, the
machine tosses the explorers 60 feet
in the air and flips them - head over
heels - in a series of high-speed
acrobatic maneuvers. Around the sacred
site, geothermal vents erupt in volley
after volley of steam, fire and water...
surrounding brave riders with the
elemental forces of the gods and a
thundering tribal soundtrack. Combining
high thrills with a unique environmental
theme and special effects, TOMB RAIDER:
The Ride is an adventure worthy of
Lady Croft herself!
"Surprises
around every corner, including authentic
props used in the filming of the motion
picture , will make guests feel like
adventurous tomb raiders from the
moment they approach the attraction,"
said Richard Zimmerman, Paramount's
Kings Dominion's executive vice president
and general manager . "With action
straight out of Hollywood, TOMB RAIDER:
The Ride will deliver the unique thrill
experience our guests have come to
expect for the past 30 years at Paramount's
Kings Dominion."
