Revenge of the Mummy (USH)

[RyanTTD]

How long has the end scene had the effects turned off? And why has that never been addressed? It's been a huge buzzkill for me, because I really enjoy the opening scenes and first launch

2007.

Back in 2007 the park ran a special promotion of an extra scary Mummy and wetter Jurassic Park. The current ending was part of that promotion.

The old ending just never returned.

I guess we'll see next year if it suddenly closes lol

It seems unlikely that they would have some unforeseen contractual obligation to build DK

I always go with @Brian G. (IU) info and hints, over other sources, when it comes to Universal parks. :thumbsup:

They did just finish a multi million dollar roof refurbishment. I highly doubt they would decide to close and demolish that after just a few months.

I'm very happy to see Mummy stick around for longer, I still love it. Mummy and JW are the 2 most reridable rides in the park for me.

Would seem odd to have a major walls up project that would certainly impact the area right as you open SNW. I would think they would want to wait for a few years before they put that kind of pressure on the lower lot. Lets ask Murdy if he is writing a house for the Mummy queue next year:

There’s no way I see them getting rid of Mummy before F&F opens. They need something to hold everyone over for a coaster until that opens at least

I ain't gonna be writing any "Mummy closing" articles anytime soon... So...

Hey, we aren't perfect either - but we handle rumors a little differently.

 

[Crypt Keeper]

I've always viewed Revenge of the Mummy as a ride that would never close, so I have a hard time believing it'll close next year.

Tbh I see Simpsons leaving before Mummy at this point.

Yeah but that contract is coming up. Disney now owns it so they will either charge mucho moolah to renew or they won't be interested in renewing the contract.

I Know but I'm saying if they had to change one now....it would be mummy

I like Mummy but it's not some big draw, the coaster is fine for families but the effects at this point are mostly old or broken and Simpsons just makes money. So while it confuses many on why Mummy would go away first...this is why Simpsons are going to be around for a few more years until they are forced to re theme

Wasn't this the person trying to tweet out survey stuff? Also looking at this person's tweet history, the person really went to the haunted mansion test screen and leaked all the surprises... we all signed NDA's for that one lol

Yeah they do seem a little problematic don’t they ?

Hollywood is not my home park so I will ask would you guys prefer the Mummy staying open a couple more years with no major refurbishment or just go ahead and close it to make way for something else ?

Refurbishment or not, it needs to (and undoubtedly will) stay open at least until the F&F coaster is open in a few years. I'd personally love if, after F&F is open, they were to go in and give Mummy a whole lot of love and overhaul it to give it a new lease on life, but realistically, I know it won't happen; I just can hope that whatever it inevitably gets replaced with is something wonderful. (And in a perfect world, we'd lose Mummy, one classic monster, to make way for our own version of EU's Monsters Land so we can celebrate all the monsters, but I digress.)

I’d be down for a Monsters land but have the E-ticket be a big indoor coaster themed to the monsters, drop track and all.

I wouldn't mind seeing a version of Universal Monsters World come to Hollywood that should honestly be the next big project here in Hollywood.
