Rode yesterday with no fire effects, wow it takes away from the experience. People still loved it because it's a fantastically paced ride, but no fire effects really makes it feel more generic low effort dark ride than it is.

Bring back the fire!

Yes, Disneyhead & I rode it last week and Dave picked up on that instantly. Still a great ride and great queue though.

When did they say this? I don't remember anything of the sort being said.

So they’ll bring it back when the refurb is done?

They've posted it on twitter when anyone asks.

Glad to hear it's refurbishment, but why not just close the ride and give it a proper full reburb? Glad to know they're working on it, but it's not great show. And closing for a refurb would allow them to fix other effects.

Because it's the busy season, and it's almost always better to have a ride open than it is to close it. If you don't have to close it, keep it open

I get that. But haven't the fire effects been down for a little while now? Could've closed it in early May (or whenever the slow time before peak season begins) to do a refurb.

Maybe it's something that popped up unexpectedly, but I still think if they closed it for a proper refurbishment, people wouldn't be talking about a ride that opened in 2004, and is considered one of the best in the park by many, like it's something ancient that needs to be replaced because the effects are going.

No need to. Plus if that happened then we'd have the "why couldn't they just operate the ride without fire effects" drum beat then.

It’s a riveting revelation indeed.
You know what break downs mean? Headlines!

That's not what I was saying at all. People are always beating the drum around here about any ride over 10 years old being on the chopping block at USF because it's old/the effects are going, but a lot of the time a refurb for the ride could get a lot of work done and get the ride looking good again.

I get it. Things break. I'm not saying shut the whole thing down just for the fire effects either.

I wasn't referring to you, or I would have quoted your post

I was drawing attention to the folks that are all over social media asking Universal the same question about why the fire effects aren't on

Wow. That looks so good.

Also, having ridden other versions of the Mummy at USH and USS, they could easily add some new elements to this ride during a refurb and make it even better.

I always hated how Mummy shoved the entrance to the side and single riders was awkward. Now they use the whole courtyard area. Once they remove the lockers outside and move them inside where the old entrance was it will make this whole area significantly better. Great pace making by UOR.
