Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

[Andysol]

The bottom line is that while attractions like Shrek still exist, MiB and Mummy shouldn't even be considered going anywhere anytime soon.

While MiB has been maintained pretty well, The Mummy desperately needs a solid refurb. The screen/face room has been absolutely atrocious for well over a year now and there's simply no excuse for it.
This is one of the things that frustrates me about Universal. Rides like Spider-Man, Minions, the HP areas, etc are upkept in such a pristine manner- and then you get things like Dudley Do Right, Cat in the Hat and The Mummy where the rides and/or queues are deplorable.
Hell, walking through the Dudley queue, you might as well be at a Six Flags it's so filthy with trash over the railings- and it's been like that for years.

Cat in the Hat uses the same ride system as MiB sans shooting.

Shooting those kids... Something I never thought I wanted

We do not speak of the Do Right que. :stun:

Has anyone noticed before boarding on mummy the transfer track brake system has a horrible screeching sound when the cars brake. It bothers me so much. Mummy is such a perfect rode and it doesn't even need a lot of work done on it.

God, I never really liked MIB before this trip but after learning all the secrets, it's so fun. It's probably one of my favorite rides now. The fact that you can shoot animatronics is just so cool. THe spinning is awesome too.

 

[Mike S]

Totally agree. In terms of cloned ride systems as well (spidey/Transformers, Kong/fast) they really should build something similar in IOA or the new gate based on MIB'S framework. The re-rideability factor is huge with the extra competitive element.

 

[AvoidTIMtation]

Really? The room before the launch could use a ton of work. It's become way too bright in there.

If we're talking about minor updates you're right, but I mean the overall I think it's the perfect dark ride and shouldn't be replaced anytime soon.

I'd agree but that's not why theses attractions are being looked at for replacement. I want MiB to stay, it's the best 'shooter' attraction around in my eyes. It's the ride systems, their life span, and the manufacturer's support of the system play into these choices. That's why Jaws and Disaster were removed.

But universal could refurbish the Ride systems when needed over time Also, upgrade the guns to use a full laser tag beam. They can also add air blasters to the back of the seats so riders would know when they've been hit by aliens and other riders. Even things like more nonlinear gameplay; upgrading the aliens in the ambush scene: when they've all been knocked down, your cart wouldn't spin

Actual laser beams would be a problem when shooting at the fusion exhaust ports, a few stray lasers into other people's eyes wouldn't be good.

This is because it'll be in the contracts with the IP owners right?

No excuses UNIVRESAL MUST FIX.

Mummy and Minions are Universal

 

[Jon84]

Mummy and Minions are Universal

I know, hence I bolded Spidey and HP

They are under license, so they need to be looked after more than Uni owned properties.

 

[UniversalCrazy]

Definitely agree about a refurb for The Mummy. The projector in the treasure room could definitely be updated, the reverse scene can be updated, as well as the room before the launch.

All Mummy needs is theming added to the turntable scene and a better finale.

It used to be that the room was pitch black with the projected Imhotep being the only thing visible. No you can see pretty much all the equipment in that room. I'm so annoyed with it I feel like jumping off the vehicle to find a damn dimmer switch in there.

 

[LJGonz]

The mummy also needs some new brakes. Does anyone else hear hear the screeching brakes as the car is about to dispatch? The mummy could use a bit of more theming and update the current ones, but that ride is amazing.

This also, maybe it's only me, but I feel like after the drop your pretty much done. I've always wanted a little more after the drop. A Big finale would be nice.
