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.

I rode this ride on my first visit to Universal Studios Hollywood in about 15 years, so I had no idea what to expect. When we all loaded onto the giant 16-passenger jeeps I expected it was going to just be one of those tour type rides that just drive you around and show you a cool set, which is probably part of the reason why I was so blown away the first time I rode it. The way the jeep jumps around creates an amazing feeling of driving through rough and dense jungle, and there are several times when I was sure that the thing was going to go flying over the side, as it leans outwards on hard turns. This has to be one of the most fun attractions I've ever seen at Universal, it was absolutely a blast. Even the line was fun, once you get inside, anyway. It's like an elaborate tomb set and there is always plenty to look at, including a short introductory film, which some IMDb users claim that this page is actually meant to represent. Personally, I feel like it's a good thing that people are talking more about the ride here than about the video that you watch while waiting for it.

Oh, and I'll tell you something strange about me. I have always wanted to visit a ride like this when it is closed, walk around inside while all the lights are on and see what the nuts and bolts of it all looks like. Whenever I ride a ride like this I always snap a few flash pictures of the inside to see what's going on. For some reason I've always been more interested in how it all works than really succumbing to the illusion. But either way this is great fun!

I'm from England and went to Universal studios with great expectations, but i was sadly disappointed. I thought that Island of Adventure was fantastic.

The Mummy ride was a huge disappointment, my friend i was with told me it was so scary and i would be petrified...and i had seen a video on how they made the ride and i was expecting it to be one of the best rides i had ever been on.

I have to admit i was more scared of the passage way into the ride that the ride itself. Even though the effects and fire were good there was something missing. For the amount it cost to build they should have made it longer and yet still faster.

I would advise going on it just to say "i've been on that ride" as it seems to be very popular for many people but don't get your hopes up...you're hair won't be on end.

Oh my god what a superb ride ... i went to Florida in 2005 and went on it and then i came back for the following 2 summers and it never got old ... I've been on this ride approximately 27 times and i still love it ... all of the film is great and funny at the end it all amounts to make a flawless ride and the guy who gave it 1 star is clearly either blind or too poor to go to Florida.

Although this review isn't about the ride the movie made the ride so much better and assuming the workers got the timing of the carts right the film made everything seem much darker and in parts like when the ride speeds up and you are sucked into the mummy's mouth the movie interacts with the ride and makes it so much better its unreal.

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 😨
