Universal Parks Reviving Classic Monsters?

[IOAGuy]

I don't know why USH is closing it. Like Skip said, it's closing for sure. They're demoed most of the extended queue already.

Yeah I know, I should've been more clear about that.

I'm just worried that since USH is closing Mummy, it may happen here too.

I currently take a physics class in high school and my teacher is friends with someone who works at uso and said that mummy will be closing sometime around 2018. He also said the replacement would be some sort of show based on a modern musical artist or band I hate modern music

^ I think your teacher has been snorting too much mercury.

While I don't have any insider information (I could, but I've never felt comfortable asking him and/or putting him in awkward position seeing as he's a friend) I will tell you take that with a HUGE grain of salt. If/when they replace The Mummy, I'm sure it will be with something far more high profile than a show.

"I think your teacher has been snorting too much mercury"...That comment can make it into the OU Super Bowl quips......Clever

Wait..... Is this Mr. H..... ? From physics class?

 

[IOAGuy]

I was just thinking, without Beetlejuice, there really isn't a presence of the classic monsters minus the cafe. That sucks.

Lmao... Wait, why do I suddenly feel so confused... And old...

And no.

I'd hate to lose The Mummy it's honestly still one of my favorite attractions in the park, I'd like an update maybe but not replaced. As another said, I'd also lose my mind if Shrek outlives it.
On another note I've always wanted a Great Movie Ride Style Classic Monsters attraction.

I think it's for some Jurassic related additions or something along those lines. The USH version of Mummy is the worst one, but that still stinks for Hollywood if they lose the only coaster they have.

And, until Potter opens, the only attraction they had with any true re-rideability.

The rumor on IU is that Diagon is going in that space.

While Diagon is great and all, it only has 1 ride and to somehow manage to get the HE to work in that park, it'd be going from lower lot to upper lot, which is not easy feat.

Diagon is great and all, but i'd rather see them build Nintendo there first since the park already will have Potter and is small as it is.

 

[Mike S]

Onward to bigger and better things

Especially considering Hollywood has the worst version of the ride, imo.

No way that can fit there (can it?). I agree with @Next Big Thing, put Nintendo there. It's one thing to have two HP lands across two parks. It's a whole other beast having two in one small park.

The rumor is that Mummy and the surrounding soundstages north of that would be removed for expanding the lower lots footprint.

The soundstages are easy to move, as there is space in the backlot; but yes, you would be losing a attraction for the time being.

Yeah, but what are we really getting as a replacement? Diagon only brings one ride... which, while an upgrade over Mummy, it's virtually just replacing that ride and adding a mall. From Comcast's perspective, i'm sure it's worth it, but realistically, it just seems like it's too much Potter for a small park and not enough being actually "added" to be worth it.

 

[twebber55]

It's closing soon. No doubt about it.

really? wow i think its one of the best rides in Orlando, and the mummy adapts wells to a theme park

 

[twebber55]

ah go

We're talking about Hollywood

ah gotcha

 

[deathcab4cutie]

they could be closing the extended Que BC it almost never gets used.If were lucky they might reopen the preview center.
