Revenge of the Mummy Upgrades

[ThemeParks4Life]

I remember in the first year or two going in the first room of the extended queue, even if there was no line.

Like Disneyhead said, this was originally supposed to be part of the queue, but then they just used it as extended space.

Can't wait to check this out when I go after the crowds have thinned out next week.
Many years ago...before even the IOA preview center...there was the Screen Test "Star Trek Video Adventure" where I worked for about a year.
In it, you could perform in front of a blue screen with James T Kirk and the gang in an all new, very corny, Star Trek mini-episode.
You could then purchase this video on what was called a "VHS tape"
There was also "Your Day at Universal Studios" Which was even cornier.
I'm sure most of you knew this.
Aaanywaay...It looks like they haven't even changed the layout back there... If I remember correctly, there were two studios on the left of that long hallway and four on the right.

If the entrance change is permanent, then I wish they could have taken just one of those big rooms of the overflow queue (seen here) and put the locker area inside, freeing up the outside area of the clunky locker structures.

I like this idea.

I have to say, I like this change a lot. Looks far more grand and classy. Good riddance to that steel mess. If there's more improvements coming, great, but so far we already have an improvement IMO.

A 40 minute wait isn't too bad Now that the banner is clearer I love what it says!

 

[King_K.]

Actually really love that banner.

I have to agree with Fallow. The new setup really makes it look so much more classier and epic.

That banner is great. I agree that it now looks much classier and enticing as an entrance. Though, now it looks like we are entering a movie theater, then it goes to a filming set, then it goes to a tomb?

We're always on set.

Woo!

 

[SweeneysGalMegz]

I think it's a real improvement from what it looked like before. I agree. It looks more classy and I think it looks more complete now. I didn't like that structure they had going on at all.

This really turned out to be beautiful. Now in the next day or so when Garfield is gone it will be a lot nicer. But I wouldn't pass on a giant obelisk where Garfield stood.

Where're the belly dancers?

The inside hasn't really changed much, other than the "To the Set" signs.

I already knew the story of this ride just by seeing it explained here, but it wasn't until this last HHN that I actually went through there and saw the base of the story. This will be a good change.
