Revenge of the Mummy is an indoor dark ride based on the
Mummy
flicks, where
guests fight off “deadly curses and vengeful creatures” while flying through Egyptian
tombs and other spooky places on a high-tech roller coaster. The special effects are
cutting-edge, integrating the best technology from such attractions as
Terminator 2:
3-D
andSpider-Man(theride).Theridebeginsslowly,passingthroughvariouscham-
bers, including one where flesh-eating scarab beetles descend on you. Suddenly your
vehicle stops, then drops backward and rotates. Next thing you know, you're shot at
high speed up the first hill of the roller coaster. Though it's a wild ride by anyone's
definition, the emphasis remains as much on the visuals, robotics, and special effects
as on the ride itself. Note that the queue contains enough scary stuff to frighten small
children all on its own. Try to ride during the first hour the park is open. If lines are
long, the singles line is often more expedient than Universal Express.
The mummy scared the willies out of me. This one is definitely not for
young children.
