[ThemeParks4Life]

Don't be too excited for this.

Yeah, but it could make us really excited like Simpsons did last night

I'm very glad to hear of all these enhancements. I loved fewer aspects of this ride than I didn't so I very gladly welcome change!

Im Heading to Osbourne Lights at MGM Studios so this will have to wait until I get home :thumbs:

Nah not really. But I am eager to hear about the new queue.

 

[Brian G.]

I'm not going to spill the beans since it was Hate's scoop, but it really isn't anything to get extremely ancy for.

New projectors are new projectors...anything that will plus the attraction will be welcomed

New projectors would be good :thumbs: Though I hope to see improvements elsewhere in the ride as well. Especially the "ghosts" (or whatever they are called) that we see during the faster parts of the coaster.

PS: shiekra, your sig rocks my socks off!

I agree, some enhancements can be made to those..

and thank you haha

IIRC I heard 4K projectors got installed the other week. Love your sig shiekra :thumbs:

 

[Brian G.]

The projectors have been already installed and been established on the boards. We're talking solely on the planned exterior/queue work.

For those eager and new to the discussion, you want to check out one of Hate's posts from a few weeks ago.....

New info (I mean speculation :look

1. Exterior queue is gone
2. New entrance through old IOA preview center. That ugly entry thing is going as well.
3. Interior queue to remain largely unchanged outside of some new theming and interior connection from old interior queue to extended queue and new entrance.
4. New test seats
5. As of right now lockers are not being touched
6. The movie set theme is staying

The overall point of this is to increase curb appeal but at the same time decrease congestion at the entry.

**As for the facade, their will be work and upgrades coming. As for the level of upgrade the facade will see I'm not ready to disclose that intel yet :thumbs:

Ahh man it's still not posted, looks like I have to stay up an extra hour!

Well I guess I'll bring the bad news. So this mummy queue is going to be a lot less extensive and an almost less than a week redo. The only downtime will be to tear down the steel structure, drill some new stanchion holes and replace the concrete around it. Almost an overnight or 2 to fix up. The queue itself won't be changing much and I can't go into detail until I 100% confirm it. But I'm highly disappointed from what I've heard earlier today. It's expected to be done before Christmas. No set start date yet.

The good news however though is the entrance area will be less congested with the new layout and have a greater curb appeal More good news is that there will be a fix to the turntable scene. It's been plagued with light bleeding in since the new projectors went online. Finally the new test seats for the redesigned entrance have arrived and are sitting backstage. Other than this as well as some increased spending for some required maintenance (fixing audio, fresh paint, and lighting) the project of plussing the Mummy is complete....For now :sneaky:

^ I rest my case.
