Universal has a 'good enough' approach.

Hollywood's is way way shorter track. They needed to do something so it didn't seem like it was over as soon as it began.But why didnt they ever do that here? Even if people loved the ride?
The '99 Mummy (and its sequel, but not the third one) is actually one of my favorite movies, and I watch it more often than I'd like to admit.
Seems to be the sad truth.Universal has a 'good enough' approach.
Well I’m quoting you and one disappointment at the most which was F&F and people hold that against them a little too much.Seems to be the sad truth.
I definitely wish Potter had signaled a bigger change in direction as I originally thought. Don't @ me. Obviously they upped their game, but there have been a number of disappointments since then that are hard to ignore. At least Mummy came from the old days of Uni, and I judge them less for not plussing it versus some of the additions.
I think people are also counting Jimmy Fallon as a disappointment.Well I’m quoting you and one disappointment at the most which was F&F and people hold that against them a little too much.
Fair enough.I think people are also counting Jimmy Fallon as a disappointment.
Also, the general usage of screenz since Potter's opening, including Kong, Gringotts, Despicable Me, and the above mentioned Fallon.
Also, the general hate on Volcano Bay... some people have strong opinions against Tapu Tapu and virtual lines, as well as the over-hype / let-down of it being a "water theme park."
Also, the disappointment (primarily from die hard Universal fans) of Universal closing older attractions including Terminator, Disaster, Jaws, Twister, Dueling Dragons, and Beetlejuice (since Potter).
I'm not saying I agree with the disappointment, but it shouldn't be ignored.
My personal disappointment is that Universal is not pulling the trigger on Pokemon, Zelda, and other potential major expansions, and is possibly holding back due to FW.
The irony is while people complain about screens, Kong, Gringott and Fallon all have pretty high GSATs. F&F is the one that is the one everyone hates.I think people are also counting Jimmy Fallon as a disappointment.

Yes, I think they're quitting while they're ahead with screenzThe irony is while people complain about screens, Kong, Gringott and Fallon all have pretty high GSATs. F&F is the one that is the one everyone hates.
In a bubble, they're not bad rides. Can't complain about Kong or Gringotts. Sometimes we have to remember we're on an enthusiast forum.The irony is while people complain about screens, Kong, Gringott and Fallon all have pretty high GSATs. F&F is the one that is the one everyone hates.
Is the turntable room projector still too bright and lighting up the whole room too much ruining the illusion? Been like that for years. Used to be pitch black in there except for Imhotep’s actual face.Rode this today...Updated lighting everywhere (mostly gobos)
Fresh new projector bulbs in the turntable and scarab room
Looked as if the UV Mummy's on the coaster portion were repainted or lights replaced with LED UV
All in all the ride is firing on all cylinders. As much as I'd like an update, they are taking care of it
It is bright, if you look up then your vacation is ruinedIs the turntable room projector still too bright and lighting up the whole room too much ruining the illusion? Been like that for years. Used to be pitch black in there except for Imhotep’s actual face.
Wasn’t talking about looking up. For years now even just looking at Imhotep you could see everything in the room when it used to be much darker. First time riding I clearly remember not being able to see even the screen he was projected on because of how dark it was. You could only see him making for a great effect that’s been completely lost.It is bright, if you look up then your vacation is ruined
In all seriousness, the lights in the on Imhotep are way to bright and show the arm that's controlling him...Wasn’t talking about looking up.

I know for me though those things always seemed present. Why they changed the turntable room for worse when it was perfect was always beyond my understanding.In all seriousness, the lights in the on Imhotep are way to bright and show the arm that's controlling him...
In the treasure room the screen seems dark but I could what was going on
Yeah I agree it’s really irritating. Fear of the dark is part of the ride. Other than that issue and occasional broken effects it’s still an awesome ride and experience. It doesn’t need to be replaced, and, a retheme is unnecessary. Retheming attractions constantly shouldn’t happen at a theme park, only at an amusement park. Theme parks are carefully designed and built to be timeless whereas amusement parks contain today’s latest and greatest amusements.I know for me though those things always seemed present.

The track still seems rather smooth to me...I think it benefits from being indoors...It is lightyears ahead of RRR and Hulk in terms of comfortI don't have a lot of historical reference (only started riding his in the last few years), but is it starting to get extra rough compared to it's opening? I'd assume they would just redo the tracks and RV when it comes time.
