I was just in the parks last week (first visit!) and RoTM was the first ride I ventured too, having heard so much about it I was itching to check it out; needless to say I loved it! Easily in my top 3 of all time favorites; I can say all four times I rode, everything looked fantastic, although I had not been on it previously so my view may be swayed. In terms of the turntable room and having too much light, it's funny, because the first time I rode it, I remember it looking a bit too bright; however all other times it was very dark. My last night in the park I got the ride all to myself, and sat front and center. Much more thrilling!
All by yourself?! that would be awesome and spooky.
Sounds like a great experience.....We really like the Mummy queue. Even though I always have hotel express, I'll often go through the full queue since it's themed so well.Yes! I loved it though, but I also love those movies (Fraser aside) so I was very happy to get the chance to really soak it up all by myself.
Funny thing about that night though, I was told (as I was rushing to get to the entrance at 9:58, the park closed at 10) that I would be the last to ride that night, in a very foreboding tone; but I'll tell you, riding the attraction alone wasn't the scary part, it was going through that entire queue alone, with the low/flickering lighting and eerie sounds that actually got to me. I also loved getting to sit in the front and see Imhotep up close, as well as the heat from the various fire scenes. When I arrived back the TM just froze and looked at me with a dead stare and said "Only one survivor? Pity, usually there are more..exit to your left please.." Loved it.
Please direct me to the conversation if elsewhere, but what is the deal with the turntable scene? Are they ever going to upgrade it or at least return it to the former, darker, better version?
ROTM has something up its sleeves… :look:
Anything going on with a possible refurb? I rode it a few times today, I'm not sure if I remember the ride differently or if it was a little out of synch today. During the treasure room, our RV was moving a tad bit faster than usual. The projection started a little late and by the time the fire started, we were pretty much out of the room. Just seemed a little off. This happened a few times today. Also... I feel like those quick stops are getting rougher and rougher.
Still love this ride though. It doesn't get old.
It did that when I rode Saturday. Were they only loading one side when it happened?
I do not recall. I wanna say they were loading both. Does the ride have a program to move cars a little quicker through the first part of the ride to get up the capacity or something?
