Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride

I was looking forward to this ride, and was horribly disappointed.

And I am very easily amused at roller coaster and amusement park rides.

The roller coaster part was just okay - and that was all of about 30 seconds of a 90 second ride.

It was visually dull and poorly executed.

It was trying desperately to be like a mixture of the far superior Indiana Jones and Space Mountain rides and Disneyland, and failed in every aspect.

It was not thrilling or exciting in the least.

Since this year is the 20th Anniversary of Brendan Fraser's The Mummy and the 15th of this ride it's so scary and your literally moving 💨 and in the Dark 😨

Me, my wife, and her parents visited Universal Studios Orlando last year as it has become a yearly escape from our regular routine. We were so excited that "Revenge of the Mummy" was ready and open, it was the first ride we jumped on when we got to the park...and while the entrance to the ride was quite cool (looking much like the museum from the first movie) and then the interior where the line began looking like an ancient tomb full of treasures set the stage for what i expected to be the top ride in the park, i was majorly let down when i realized that not only was it primarily a roller coaster ride, but it was also primarily completely dark.

The chambers in which you see the mummies were awesome, the scarabs coming out of the wall were truly chilling at first, and the final battle with the mummy was pretty cool with the fire on the ceiling and stuff...but considering 80% of the ride was spent zipping through a fun house dark coaster track...with silly and cheap neon light pictures of the mummy and lights flickering...it truly reminded me of a cheap parking lot fair, and at the end of the ride, i felt like they gave up about half way through the ride and decided to just fill it with nothing.

Overall its worth riding, because parts of it are truly really cool, but of all the rides at both parks in Orlando, this one wouldn't rank top 5 at all. Its about 50% perfect and 50% terrible, creating a very mediocre experience but fun none the less.

I had no idea it was supposed to be a roller coaster. I don't know if the ride is exactly the same on the West Coast as it is on the East coast, but the whole ride on the East Coast is all roller coaster. You watch the movie stuff as you wait in line. Of course most of the roller coaster ride is in the dark, but I think that adds to the suspense of the ride because you have no idea where you're going. It's kinda like the Space Mountain ride at Disney. I have nothing else to say, but supposedly I'm supposed to keep typing so I'll just type nonsense sense I've finished saying what it is that I want to say. Well that's about it. So go visit Universal Studios and go ride the Revenge of the Mummy.

First of all its not a movie it clearly says "Revenge of the Mummy: THE RIDE." Second it is a really cool ride. There are 2 versions: one in California and one in Orlando. The California version isn't as good buy the ride in Florida is AWESOME! It combines CGI effects, a dark ride, authentic looking Egyptain tombs, and an indoor coaster. It goes 45 mph and its biggest drop is 26 ft. but it feels faster and bigger. The queue for the ride explains that there's is a little story (nothing serious) as you walk on the pretend set of THE MUMMY 3 and continue into an Egyptain tomb. It truly is a ride like no other. Its the coolest thing to come to Universal Orlando Resort since The Islands of Adventure.
