Actually, Mummy does stop at the turntable, right before launching up the first hill.It doesn't need to stop, going slowly helps with the flow. Mummy doesn't stop until you go backwards and it's the better for it.

(That's after the part where you go backwards...)Actually, Mummy does stop at the turntable, right before launching up the first hill.
That's right. My bad. But actually there are three stops, as we stop again at the room with the woman behind the glass (that then breaks), and we then descend down the final hill to the end.(That's after the part where you go backwards...)
Everyone has bashed Universal the last couple of years for the "stop, go" pacing as seen on Gringotts, Kong and F&F....I think going by the scenes slowly will be a welcomed change while adding in a ton of re-ridability
Interestingly, Spiderman rarely actually comes to a stop - its almost always gliding by the screen or backing away. Transformers can't do that with many of their screens because they are deeply curved, where Spiderman's are flat until the finale.It worked for spiderman. But now some of the rides just feel like spiderman with a paint job (transformers 3d)
IU has media credentials with Universal Orland and Universal Hollywood. We do not work "with" them more than any other site. The nature of our discussions tend to rumors and breaking news, as such at times information that is shared on this site needs to be removed to protect itself. It is not removed to protect Universal information as it is to protect the site from Universal's legal team.

I don’t know if this is back to front with Transformers. I think it has deeply curved screens because it has to stop for the elevators not that it has to stop for the deeply curved screens.

Bemused by this comment.
If you just want a fast roller coaster from A to B without any stops, show scenes, anamatronics, storyline, etc then you are really looking for the lowest denominator Six Flags type coaster.
There are more than just the elevators that are curved. The majority of them are. Transformers uses them because its trying to sell a forward motion, and a curved screen does that (see: Cinerama in the 1950s). Spiderman doesn't actually use a simulated forward motion until the end, and those two screens are curved as well - and Spiderman slows to a crawl at that point as well (the cars swivel a bit in front of the screen, using some fancy optics). Its one of those they seem similar because they use the same system and tricks, but actually the story each tells requires a different kind of cinema illusion. (Sorry but is the cinematographer nerd coming out)I don’t know if this is back to front with Transformers.

Hogwarts Express queue would be the only advisable spot, I would imagine.I’m going to islands today and can’t wait to actually see it in person! Where’s the best places to sneak some views of the coaster?
K. So let's try this:
You do realize that both preeminent "amusement" park chains(Six Flags, Cedar Fair) do not have parks in Florida, right? So because of that, there is a huge market for the type of experience they can offer(i.e. a traditional roller coaster). Hence why they had THREE traditional roller coaster in IOA when it opened. So get out of here with this lowest denominator crap, it's tiring
If you ride Flight Of The Hippogrif, you can get a pretty good view.I’m going to islands today and can’t wait to actually see it in person! Where’s the best places to sneak some views of the coaster?
