Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

They're still working out some kinks most likely. Give it time.

 

[Doug A.]

Hot take alert . . . I would rather wait however long it takes for a ride to reopen with limited to no downtime vs opening too soon with lots of downtime.

Based on Tim’s new video, looks like they’ve removed all those display cases down the exit ramp.

So is or isn’t the queue getting updated?

We don’t know yet. Will find out when it opens/Universal announces something.

I think whatever happens in the gift shop (exit ramp included) has a different team that works on it than the people responsible for the ride. New gift shop REEKS of Tribute Store team, in the best way possible. Those guys don't do anything else but stores.

Yep, tribute stores and smaller offerings are done by the in-park entertainment team while the ride refurb is done by Uni Creative.

Going Tues 8/16 and expecting/hoping to ride the Mummy. Am I deluding myself?

There's always a chance, but I would not go in expecting it unless Universal confirms it will be open.

I don't get it. Why are these bloggers virtually camping out waiting for this to open? To say they are the first to put it on youtube?

Yes!

Plus they get to spend time with their vlogger friends. Universal has been known to randomly open an attraction at 2:30 on a Tuesday with no fanfare. The influencers will create the fanfare for them, quoting the famous lines, pointing out all the Easter Eggs, and posting on their social media with as many exclamation points as possible

If this is a sizeable side business for them then being among the first to advertise the reopening will get a bump in advertising revenue.

Perfect society. No issues.

 

[anihilnation]

This always makes me wonder, can advertising really pay that much?

Yep. I know a few folks who pay the bills through ads on their content.

Then add in the travel agency links and "official sponsorships"...

I'd love to see them do something like this to break up the ramp... but yeah. Hopefully a good sign...

I wonder if they need to find a more permenant replacement now that the staircase is gonna be used. Maybe related to ADA or fire marshal requirements.
