Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

[Disneyhead]

Yes, there is a fun practical scarab effect where they drop out of a reservoir into a tray and fall

Also there is a rotating scarab effect on the columns and a practical scarab curtain that moves through the whole room when they come out of the wall

Mixed with projection it's a fun little grouping of effects practical and projected

There is also a subtle water effect in that scene.

Well this is a Universal ride, did we even need to mention it?

Yes, I always wished we got the leg ticklers like Hollywood

But yes, the water sprits always misses me

Its always the small things that make an experience better, hope they can keep the train rolling to enhance other older attractions.

Come onnnnnnnn ET :rock:

I was not aware of this.

Was this not a part of the ride in the very beginning? I could’ve sworn this was an effect on the ride when it first opened.

I first rode it a little over a year after it opened and there were none. Given how worried I was that there was going to be something like that I would’ve definitely remembered if there had been.

According to Wiki it opened in May 2004, I was there in August 2004 and I distinctly remember riding it twice and feeling the “beetles” on my legs both times, but, now I’m second guessing myself.

Orlando never had the ticklers - just the water spray. Hollywood added the ticklers for their version as part of a series of improvements when reviews were less than great.

So they had water spray during the beetle scene and when the glass breaks?

I haven’t ridden the thing since 2010, and they were there.

I was always confused why there’s a water spray when the glass breaks. Is it supposed to feel like glass hitting us lol

leg ticklers? No way

Yes, they also used a similar effect on Twister

I could have sworn that I posted something that they needed to start a rolling investment program to plus some of the older rides and the example I thought I gave was updating the projectors, upscale the queue video to HD, and adding directional speakers to the opening section with "the curse, it's real..."

But I guess not

There's a lot of other opportunities to freshen things up for not a lot of money. Good to see they're (hopefully) starting to do that.

Yes. I was at Universal in spring 2004 and they were doing a soft opening of Mummy. The line stretched a couple blocks, so we didn't even bother trying.

 

[DK745]

I swear I've only felt the water like twice in all my times riding it. I think I can always see it spraying but the ride vehicle seems like the coaster itself is already past that part when it happens.

WOW! This is awesome!

Wait WHAT?!?!!!!!

This looks freaking fantastic.

 

[HandsomePete]

So much better... hard to tell for certain but hopefully they got rid of all the light intrusion around as well. It genuinely used to look like they were projecting on a hastily hung bed sheet.
