Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

[Disneyhead]

The track from Kong is still in the ceiling, but it doesn't really affect anything underneath. Basically its part of the ceiling

Yep, if you look up as you leave the fake unload room, you can see it.

OMG, this is so cool to know!!! Going to be a new first on Mummy for me!

In wikipedia scrolling yesterday, I learned that Scott Trowbridge was the Project Lead on this ride. It's crazy how many great rides he has his fingerprints on.

Rode a couple times today. Still a great ride.

Especially his latest work. Why Universal ever let him go is a mystery.

Because they didn’t let him go.

 

[Mike S]

Because they didn’t let him go.

I’m not saying that. I’m saying why let him leave. I would’ve incentivized him to stay.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I’m not saying that. I’m saying why let him leave. I would’ve incentivized him to stay.

He’s allowed to leave for other gigs, especially when his concept for Potter was passed over and Universal Parks was in a very, very bad place.

I'm pretty sure he was already in a position where money wasn't as important as prestige. And in his industry, Portfolio Creative Executive at WDI is something UC couldn't match.

He’s like my favorite “director” per say for theme park attractions. Everything that guy has built that I’ve been on or seen are my favorites, truly.

Was his Potter proposal the cheap one or something else?

Him and Tony Baxter. Absolute legends they are.

I feel like I remember him presenting the Harry Potter attractions when the land first opened...could be wrong though

 

[Legacy]

Well, yeah. Because it was his job. Doesn’t mean he was happy about it.

 

[shiekra38]

Joke's on Universal, Potter is probably gonna bomb

If the Ghostbusters franchise can stay relevant, I could see that being the replacement for this using the same tech for the rumored Newt’s Beasts Coaster ride at EU. Kinda like how they used the same ride system for Mosnters, same for Spidey and transformers, etc. Wouldn’t be unprecedented. Not sure if they have theme park rights but we’re talking like 8-10 years from now for opening.

Why hasn’t the mummy been updated to the 2017 version? If it ever gets updated why has it taken so long the Brendan Fraser franchise is so old. Something will have to replace the ride if all else fails in the next decade or so.

 

[Ridgepole]

Decade sounds about right... Best ride on that side.

Nah they don’t, it doesn’t matter how old something is, as long as it’s good, that’s all what matters!

They couldn't get the shirtless Tom Cruise AA to work, so it was scrapped.

Rix Flix just put up a new video stating that he believes Mummy will go down in 2020 for an extended updated. His guess is 6 months long and starting around September if they’re following the Hulk model.
