Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

[happy bunny rabbit]

I hope, with the changes to lockers, entrance, and what-not, that they quietly also redo the first few rooms to act as if people are going through a museum. That, would be a great change, and would complement the rest of the attraction if it's showed as if The Book of The Dead is a museum exhibit, that causes the museum to change.

Ehhh...nah. The opening tomb scene is as classic as the caves in PotC imo, I love the skeletons dressed up as crew members and it’s just a very atmospheric scene.

Wait, were you referring to the queue? If so, yes please.

Can you imagine those scarab beetles in the prop shop in 5-10 years... sexy.

Literally all the ride needs is a queue makeover (only the first 2 rooms into a Museum), change up the turntable scene to include physical aspects and add theming to the finale.

If the coaster section got insanely themed with tomb walls and everything, I might faint. My imagination is creating some crazy ideas right now.

To add to this thought, I always thought the banners on the museum facade should have read something like "Hamunaptra: City of the Dead" or "Treasures of Hamunaptra" to play more into the lore of the series.

The brakes on the ride make a really unpleasant screeching sound. Especially before the switch track section after the station. Also. The ride IMO has gotten a little less smooth. The track should get new brakes since this ride really wears out the brakes, and maybe a track sanding or polish.

Prepare to be disapointed haha....I think a ride is asking a bit much

But I have been surprised before

Oh I know haha. Would love to see it, but also know the chances are slim to none... Even if I think it'd be a smart decision to have a few timeless areas to offset the flavor of the week IP areas that are destined to need replacement sooner than preferred.

Guess we'll just wait and see!

Edit: Guess I shouldn't have said it was my "most anticipated" but rather the big item on my wish list.

And they could spray us with salt-acid and burn our eyes out... but then we wouldn’t be able to see the fire room. never mind.

... and remove “closing?” from the 2016 name of this thread

(Oops mean’t to reply to an earlier thread re the shiny new entrance Scarabs)

As long as it stays Mummy! Universal needs to give this thing a full on refurb, get it back to full effects and plus it, instead of just waiting until enough effects are broken to the point where the only option is replacement.

I know in the past, space was limited, but Universal has more flexibility in being able to keep attractions (that deserve it) around longer now. Mummy is one of those attractions.

Why would Universal wait till the last possible minute to fix effects? I don’t get it

Universal VERY RARELY gives attractions actual refurbs. Hulk is really the only time in recent memory that they've taken an attraction down for a long period of time, given it some love, and reopened it as the same attraction. Most of the time when an attraction closes at Universal, it's to make way for a new one, not a refurb.

It’s so stupid

ROI sucks.

If they do anything with the queue they need to make it brighter. I understand theming but it can be a little hard to see in there.

Especially after walking around in the bright sun. I've seen tons of people struggle to get up the stairs in the single riders queue because of how dark it is in there.

That's gonna be a hard :thumbsdown:.

The overwhelming darkness adds to the immersion of the tomb and anticipation of the ride more than any other queue I've experienced, except maybe ToT (another dark queue).

Which is something they should change, in my opinion of course.
