They offer free arcade but 70% of them are non functional. The ride is not worth the money.

The ride was fun and the end it takes you to a small free arcade room 10/10 would recommend.

It was a fun thing for me and my parents to do I just wish they had more places to sit and better crowd control but other than that it was a lot of fun. And for the price it was well worth it.

This ride is REALLY as bad as the other reviews have stated. I made up my mind before I went down there for the Ripleys Haunted Adventure that I wasn’t going to do the Tomb Rider ride.BUT, at the Ripleys Haunted Adventure they tried to up sell me on a package to do both rides for an extra $10. I told them no, and then they magically dropped the offer to 99 cents. So I figured, what the hell, let me do it.The ride REALLY sucks. Just like everyone else has said, it is not 3D, so don’t bother wearing the glasses they give you. There’s some cool things to see along the ride, but you are so focused on competing and shooting the targets that you don’t really get to check things out and enjoy the ride. It’s literally just shoot, shoot, shoot. And that’s it.After you get off the ride, there are some retro arcade games that you can play for free - non-stop.If you can get the 99 cent offer like I did, then do it. But there’s absolutely no way I would pay more than a buck for this experience. This attraction needs to be replaced with something else. There’s just no fixing it.

I highly recommend bringing your toddlers here first if they are acting up. Threaten them with the lion in the lobby and other animals in the ride, then “protect them” by shooting all the monsters and stuff. Once the ride is over threaten to take them to the haunted house next door and not protect them for misbehaving and they’ll shape up. Hell my two year old came home and raked the leaves at home.Seriously the ride is pretty cool. It’s cool for young kids to enjoy.

TOURIST TRAP!: Im surprised this ride is still open. I would have thought it would have been replaced by now! The Tomb Raider theme, with all the jungle-like vegetation, is what lured us in. Although the ride itself does not encompass the same environment. The actual ride is a cart that takes you through a slow, winding, trail with colorful, stationary monster targets to shoot at that are about 7ft away. I would say it was about 5 minutes, at best. The 3-D is non existent. They give you 3-D glasses to put on but nothing is in 3-D, unfortunately.To make matters a little more dull my gun wasnt working. The only reason my wife was laughing was because we bet to see who would get more kills but with my gun not working, she found it hilarious.Perhaps for the young 6, 7, and 8 year olds, this maybe a suitable attraction but with the guns not functioning properly, I hardly see the point. I easily enjoy just about anything but Im hard pressed to say, SKIP THIS ATTRACTION. Theres a lot more places around the corner where your money is better well spent.

Its pretty pricey, plus the ride doesnt go for so long. They have a game room as well. I give it a 5 stars because my kids all under 8 loved the fact you can shoot the skeleton and others. They love the ride and had so much excitement. So, Thank you!

Anyone who says this place isnt fun, I challenge you to get a few drinks in you, get competitive, have fun and for goodness sake stir up a little imagination! And if that doesnt work I promise a few of Pat OBriens hurricanes around the corner will do the trick. Youre only young once folks.

This ride I gotta say, is good, scary, and upsetting.Whats good about it is that it fits the theme and its lighting and animatronics are what makes this ride good and decent.Whats scary is:1. The blowing heads2. The loud noises3. The horn sound (scariest of all to me)Whats upsetting is that the 3d glasses would make your aim worse and theres nothing 3d at all. Whats also upsetting is that this ride is short, and rarely has any fantastic features.But overall, I like these types of rides. So I give this one 4/5 stars.

Ride was very outdated, but my kiddo liked it. The arcades after were probably more fun. We may do it again, but would have to be pretty bored. In town waiting on car maintenance.

The tomb rider 3d ride was included with our 3 way ripleys ticket so we thought why not. It isnt high quality 3d so just take the glasses off, you will be fine. Our cart didnt work for keeping score the 1st time through so we went back through twice. The young children seemed to like it so I merged their 4 star review with my 2 star review to get the final 3 star review. I wouldnt pay for it by itself, but if it comes for $4 with a multi ticket I cant complain too much. The ride was slow moving and you shoot light guns at targets. The targets are small blue dots that are actually difficult to hit. They turn red when you shoot them. There is a very small scripted story about 4 lines long at a couple parts of the ride. If you have been to Disney or universal studios and know what a light shooting ride should be like you will really be disappointed with this one. Ill put up our score sp you can see my son who was shooting the whole time got a 0 point score. He still liked it and since the guy at the end said we won he was happy. The best part for me was the free oldschool arcade at the end when you get off the ride. I let my kids gj o back and ride it a 3rd time while my wife and I played games.

The ride itself is very short and you shoot targets while you ride. My kids were a little freaked out by the zombies, but I felt it was a very short ride. The staff was very non-engaged but both reminded us about the free arcade at the end. My kids had a great time playing games they had never seen and wanted to stay all day. We only did this as an add-on to the Guinness museum, would not have paid full price.

It depends on your open mind and creativity. Youll enjoy it if you keep focus on having fun.

Dont wasted your time and money. Its a 5 minute kiddie ride that is well over priced. The 3D experience is a joke. Carnivals offer better rides than this exhibit. Really disappointing experience for me and my kids.

This is a very appealing place. However, there is not much to the ride. They tell you that there is a free arcade at the end. Several of the games in the arcade do not work. I would say overall that this is a rip off.

Only problem was with the guns. The laser would hit the target but it didnt recognize it as so. Had fun even being the only person there.

Its not all that great. The free games after are OK, but several dont work. I wouldnt do it again. We had the extreme ticket, but if I had paid $22 just for that it would have made me mad.

2 stars only because of the free arcade at the end of the ride. The ride itself was short & dull. Needs to be longer!
