Your FAVORITE part of the ride?? Really? Maybe I'm crazy but aside from nostalgia I don't see how/why people defend the terrible and lackluster ending of the ride. The ending was bad and cringe in 2004 when it opened and now it's become completely incoherent. They had 7 months and the climactic conclusion is still a barren, black room with a blurry tv-screen containing an actor from 20 years ago and gag from a pre-show video no one has seen except fanboys. Even with the knowledge of the pre-show and even when the "hot set" portion of the queue was twice as long and people had the chance to watch it, I still hated it.
Yep, love that unexpected change of pace. Hilarious, even though I've experienced it a couple of hundred times. And....I think I have a lot of company of like minded people that didn't want the ending changed.
Have you watched the movies? They are definitely a mix of comedy, action, and light horror elements.
I love the movies! I really do. Was in high school when the first one came out and I love it to this day. I like the nods to the 1999 film and I like that they're keeping them. I just think the ending is flat out bad and I disliked it in 2004 when the ride opened. Other than the ending our version of Revenge of the Mummy is still the best of the three and one of my favorite Uni rides. It's a Universal classic and I hope it never leaves.
Everything else up to that point is preshow.
