The Crypt, Indoor Top Spin ride at Kings Island, Mason, Ohio, US

The Crypt is an indoor Top Spin ride located at Kings Island amusement park. The installation features a large platform suspended between two counterweighted arms that rotate and flip through multiple sequences during each ride cycle.

The ride opened in 2002 as the world's first HUSS Giant Top Spin installation at Kings Island. Over time, the attraction evolved from a Tomb Raider movie theme to a standalone experience due to changing entertainment licensing.

The attraction transformed from a Tomb Raider movie theme to an independent experience, reflecting changes in entertainment partnerships at Kings Island.
