I've been on multiple rides where different sections of the launch will activate at different times, so it launches up in small jolts. Maybe this had become a bigger issue.
I wish they would work on the brakes so when they bring the vehicle to a stop it isn't so sudden.
I do and it works. But I know when the sudden jolts are coming. I feel sorry for everyone else else around me.
I view it as a nice surprise for first time riders
Otherwise known as a mild case of whiplash.I view it as a nice surprise for first time riders
Please tell me they finally dimmed the super bright projectors that ruin the room before the launch.
I feel like the mummy needs more refurb. Something like a faster launch. The mummy is a good ride, but I rode it last week and whenever the brakes make a really uncomfortable skreetching noise.
Those stops hurt! I always warn people I'm with.

I've managed to have a word with someone who used to work Mummy, apparently the turntable scene was brightened because of safety regulations. I take that as a "it's not going to go back to how it was"
She also let slip that the lift hill was always a problem, the cars are meant to be weighed just before dispatch, however that system is not essential, and causes more problems than it's worth.
Basically in normal mode (minus the weigh) the system launches cars up the hill at a "standard" speed, so depending on the amount of weight in the car it can be slower/faster than normal. This seems to explain the crappy launches recently however she was stumped when I told her the cars were all going out half empty.
The only guess was, the lift hill cannot operate at full speed due to a mechanical or power issue

I found it funny that despite it being the most messed up ride.....it still somehow got a gold ticket award this year.

World wide Awards presented by "Amusement Today". This year it was hosted by Cedar Point a couple of weeks ago.
I see, and the mummy got an award this year?? Which award?
Don't remember exactly. Something like dark ride/coaster if I remember apx. .

Best Indoor Dark ride. It got 24% of the vote.
Here's a link to the full list: Cedar Point welcomes 2016 Golden Ticket Awards. And there's also a thread about it: 2016 Golden Ticket Awards | Orlando United Forums
Yeah, I don't like those awards. Why isn't Gringotts an indoor coaster? Why is Tower of Terror a dark ride?
