Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

[HHN Maddux]

I don't know about VillainCon but I think that might be early 2023? I dunno, seems like that might take longer than just a few months.

You really think so? I'd imagine it wouldn't take much longer than a few months. All they have to do is take a small pre-show room and a mostly unthemed theater and convert them into a (from what I understand) mostly screen-based walkthrough.

Villain-Con was always 22 and Potter expansion 23, but I’m on the edge of my seat to see if it actually happens.

Hitchcock closed in January 2003 and Shrek opened in June of the same year, so there’s precedence for that location lol.

Literally if it opened in May with a conveyer belt I don’t doubt it

I always forget how ludicrously fast that turnaround was. Though, to be fair, didn't they basically just throw up the marquee, spruce up the facade, change the preshow room, and block off the rest of the Hitchcock experience? If I'm remembering correctly, the whole Psycho theater and post-show areas weren't dismantled until much later when they needed space for the second theater.

My gut says it'll be 7 month refurb. I dunno way (i have no info).

Anyway, one thing I do wish they fix is the lighting in the queue and its layout. Walking from the bright summer to a dark room with unidentifiable switchbacks causes everyone to get lost. Needs to be clearer and also fade in easier.

Doing single queue and going from bright light to dim switchbacks with steps pretty quickly...I almost always have to take my phone out just to see to make sure I don't trip going up the steps before my eyes adjust.

I bounce off the walls every time I go in the mummy queue. Heh, even that is more exciting and thrilling than F&F.

And I'm the guy that always toots the scarab air-horn as Mad Dog walks by.

I'll be good with the loss of the movie/Fraser storyline. I'd also be totally ok with the loss of the fake unload. (Just keep the fire ceiling effect).

I'd only be OK with this if it meant the room was properly themed.

Is it just me, or are the Frazier Mummy movies experiencing a resurgence in popularity?

That's not a new thing. I want to say that started around the time the Cruise Mummy movie flopped

That, and I think Brendan Fraser himself if in the midst of a resurgence.

 

[tielo]

Being in a wheelchair I never got the ending as I also missed the setup in the queue. That happens a lot and it sucks. I'd be happy they delete the video and make the story for everyone cohesive.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Hoping they find a way to darken the turntable scene and finally fix the timing on it.

If they really want to take away attention from GOTG/Tron, they would use projections along the track to make it seem as if a mummy is chasing you. It would be cool to see a similar mirror effect like Tron's combined with some sort of ghostly imagery.

 

[devinp267]

Soooo shouldn't some track be popping up soon??:dance:

 

[Alicia]

Permit and notice of commencement for new Control System and Electrical System upgrades!



This is in line with what we had heard recently, quoted below.

@Alicia Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but when we were there last week, I asked a TM if she knew any details besides new track. She said yes they were planning on laying down new track but also installing a whole new computer system for controlling the ride as the current system is pretty old.

So basically just like Keanu Reeves.

Keanu never left the building......

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

Keanu never left the building......

He was considered kind of a joke before John Wick.

He was considered kind of a joke before John Wick.

Never by the cognoscenti, he is quirky and recent comments about NFTs sealed his godhood

 

[Brian G.]

yeah, Keanu has had a pretty solid and consistent career… I don’t get that comparison.
