Tomb Raider: The Ride at Kings Island is a Giant Top Spin thrill ride built by HUSS. Tomb Raider: The Ride is the one of a kind giant version of the highly popular smaller Top Spin located at many various amusement parks around the country. For the 2001 season, Kenton's Cove Keelboat Canal (a log-flume water ride) would gave its last ride. On April 24, 2001 the area around 'KCKC' was fenced in with the phrase "an exciting new adventure is coming in 2002" written along the fence. The official announcement was on July 2, 2001.
