Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

[shiekra38]

Same I would like to see a Godzilla attraction go here I don’t know if it would do good at universal or not but I don’t know if Universal has the rights to use Toho properties in their parks.

That's a big plot for a non Universal propertyyyyy

So, is this going down for maintenance? It'd be good to know for my April trip

You answered it yourself.

No disrespect to Rix Flix as a person or anything, seems like a nice dude, but he's got like zero inside information usually. So id just take it with a grain of salt.

Haha very true. But, there were tons of discussions about certain tracks being needed to be taken down and everything and wear and tear so didn't know if this may actually be true. I will say, if he'd know anything it'd be something like this. I could see a team member maybe passing along that info if he's like a weekly park guest. Not like he'd know about LOTR though

Random thought...do you guys think they cover up and remove the hand triggers (hand on chest, air blast hologram and trap air blast cam) in the queue once they reopen? Do you think they’ll remove those for good?

I'd absolutely guarantee all interactive queue elements will be temporary removed but they were only just talking about the science of them in the youtube series so I'd bet on that being temporary.

Now what will I lick when I go through the queue?

Real talk, if they took away that air blast I wouldn't be unhappy about it

Thought things looked different today. I haven’t ridden in a while so I wasn’t sure if those were new upgrades.

 

[belloq87]

Sounds like tasteful, unobtrusive enhancements.

Nice to see the best ride in the park getting some modest love.

 

[joelbryant11]

Awesome news! This is the ride that made me fall in love with Universal as a kid

 

[shiekra38]

I love this!

The ride is still perfect after all this time

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Well, isn’t that just lovely to hear.

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

This, MIB and ET have just 45-55 min waits right now...meanwhile Transformers, Gringott's, Simpsons, Despicable Me, etc. all have 75-130. :/

Great to hear about the enhancements, though.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

I'm so glad to hear that Mummy is still getting some attention. Maybe they know that if it ever went anywhere, people would absolutely lose their minds.

 

[shiekra38]

I would still love to see some projection effects on the Mummy cutouts someday

 

[Freak]

Any BBC word on what specific enhancements they made?

 

[DodgsonHere]

Question on something I’ve never noticed before on the Mummy that I noticed yesterday. Were those physical scarabs coming out of of the hole(?) in the middle of the screen in that room? They didn’t look like projected ones to me.

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

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