I am anonymous however you say it Hi I ain’t lying when I say it is genuinely one of the best Dark Ride coasters ever made. And one of the last genuine rides that aren’t just screens. Go on in as soon as possible

[@Love4Pop]

If Universal ever gets rid of/replaces this ride, I will personally riot and fight them lol This is one of the best rides at Universal, their newer rides these days just don’t live up to The Mummy. All these newer rides that require 3D glasses and have screens everywhere just seem so lazy in things like details compared to rides like The Mummy.

[@ThemeParkHistory]

I'll be right there with you on the front lines if that happens. ROTM was an example of Universal can do when they don't rely on screens or 3D. They need to make more rides like this and stop using the same ride formula.

[@mibevan]

My father (Timothy Bernardi) actually helped construct Revenge of the Mummy. He used to send me pictures of the construction site and we recently found a 3D animated beta simulation tape of the ride, which included the first test of the coaster vehicle (maybe I'll try to post it online sometime). He also assisted constructing Men In black Alien Attack, and was actually one of the writers of the lyrics for "The universe and You" along side David Cobb. He told me one of the original concepts for The Mummy was a ride based on Stephen King movies. The building was going to resemble King's creepy home and Pennywise the clown was going chase the riders through the ride.

[@ratchetpokemaster123]

As someone who's learned to love this ride a ton in my later years, I gotta say one of my favorite touches that you didn't mention about the ride's Orlando version is that during the fake-out, before Imhotep appears one last time in the booth, you can actually feel the heat from the flames above, even before they appear. It's actually pretty hot, and you actually feel a bit of water from the "broken glass" to compensate for it.

[@e.2526]

My parents said it was over, and yet I knew that it wasn’t

[@sample006]

[@bb5242]

best part of the ride

[@davemccage7918]

I was mad about ET being replaced at first, but all my hang ups vanished after my first ride. The Mummy absolutely destroyed ET!

[@splinky9226]

Fun fact: The "faux-ending" for the Florida version where Imhotep sucks the soul out of the cast member in the "loading station" was originally intended for a Stephen King ride that would have been built in Universal. At some point in the ride, riders would pull into the "unload station" where they would be given the instructions on how to exit without injury. But the restraints would not lift and then blood comes flooding out of the exit doors (akin to the lobby scene from the Shining). Then, Pennywise the Dancing Clown would spring out of the control booth to attack the riders and then they would plunge down another drop to the real loading station and gift shop. While the ride was ultimately cancelled in favor of the Men in Black alien shooter, the idea of a "faux" unloading station going awry would be later reused into what we know as Revenge of the Mummy, since John Murdy was in charge of both the Mummy and what could have been the Pennywise/Shining ride.

[@PeterGriffin11]

Interesting stuff.

[@Pamelalrene]

That sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing!

The original idea would be awesome. They need to make it happen.

[@MrFreddieComedy]

One of my favorite rides of all time! Why can't they make more dark ride hybrids with practical effects like this? No more screens lol

[@MrFreddieComedy]

Also that fake out unloading station when I first rode this ride many years ago was so well done and surprising!

[@ThemeParkHistory]

I agree, this ride is the best example of what Universal should be creating with its new attractions, not relying on screens & 3D. That fake out scarred me for years, I wasn't ready for that at all the first time I went on the ride.

[@thefrozenfireball9690]

[@iamanonymoushoweveryousayi3163]

Oh, lord...

[@karamellcreme]

10:28 You forgot to mention that when they hit the wall, there’s a (kind of failed) water effect that spits water down on you to pretend the beetles are all over you. This never really worked, as it would go off at the wrong time and miss the car. Although, I certainly have felt the water when I used to ride it.

[@ThemeParkHistory]

I thought there was an effect like that when it opened but I couldn't confirm it, probably like you said since it never really worked properly. They should have went with the air spray like the Hollywood version has.

[@karamellcreme]

Theme Park History Yep! This ‘beetle spit’ you can see when you go backwards, if it has failed or missed the car. That’s how I realized there was a water effect. Sometimes they’ll even turn it off, as there’s been rides where you won’t even get this beetle spit as I call it. But I certainly do agree with the air spray over the water effect. You can also see the machine itself when you go backwards, right before the walls turn black.

[@jxs7204]

It would have made sense to make fast and furious like this ride. Universal should consider removing or redoing the joke that is f&f.

[@vivivindicator]

Definitely. It would be a shame to see this go, it was one of my favorites when I went, but it could be used to better service a more relevant property.

[@keatonpotatoes4552]

I totally agree. I actually thought that's what they were doing at first and was HORRIBLY disappointed... 🙄

[@twilight0c0]

Chris S Universal Studios has already made a fast and furious attraction but it’s horrible. I think he meant they should have made the fast and furious ride more like The mummy, not replace it. The Florida park replaced the beetlejuice show, and the Disaster(earthquake) ride with fast and furious.

[@vivivindicator]

Ah ok I see now. Lol I misread. Definitely agreed though. F&F was definitely the worst attraction when I went

[@shine311]

I hate the new F&F ride so much. I went 3 weeks after opening day, and it only had a 20 minute wait. Very telling.

[@Stark_117]

How surprising. The best ride in the entire park, and its not a 3d simulator with screens. Maybe universal can actually put some thought into these new rides they make. This was the only worthy successor to the old rides they removed. This is still my favorite ride.

[@ThemeParkHistory]

I agree, they really need to make their new attractions more like this and stop using the same lazy formula of simulators and screens. It's sounding like the new Harry Potter coaster will be more like ROTM so fingers crossed.

[@THEremiXFACTOR]

Yes, people want to have an experience, not just watch a damn movie in blurry 3D with muted colours. Actually I just went to Universal Japan a few weeks ago. It was great and wonderful to go on the Jaws ride again. A proper ride with incredible attention to detail. Okay it's not as thrilling as newer rides, but it had pretty long queues all day and people were having a great time.

[@jessiepetersen9568]

Damn never realized how crappy the Hollywood version was! This was my first time seeing the Florida one and that is easily the coolest thing in the park!

[@ThemeParkHistory]

Same here, the Hollywood version is lacking when it comes to thrills but I guess they did the best they could with the space they had available.

[@shine311]

It's so odd, because I preferred the Hollywood version back when I first rode it in 2007. I loved the longer backwards section, and the actual kind of scary beginning. I figure now it's just because I'm so used to the RotM we have here in Orlando.

[@ThemeParkHistory]

I think the Hollywood version would be fine if it was the only attraction built but when compared to the Florida and Singapore versions it's a bit lackluster with its thrills. That being said, you can't blame Universal for trying, they were working with what they had in the smaller show building.

[@fluffsnowball8557]

[@ChrisB2007]

As much as I miss Kongfrontation, this is the only attraction that replaced a classic, that I really enjoy. The theming and immersion are phenomenal. Plus the ride itself is very fun.

[@68Polara500]

Chris Baker They should have kept Kongfrontation and done this ride somewhere else. Jaws, Kongfrontation and Back to the Future were important anchors; just like ET still is.

[@ChrisB2007]

I definitely agree. Although with money always being a huge factor, it cost them less to build in an existing show building and on top of that have the space they needed since Kongfrontation's show building is large. Nonetheless it is extremely sad all of the classics gone with only E.T. remaining. It seems Universal only knows how to do screens now. Everything is screens and digital, with essentially no practical effects.

[@ChrisB2007]

Well said. Overall, there's nothing wrong with screens in attractions and digital technologies like that. But you have to implement them tastefully and not overdo it. Universal has overdone it and all of their new attractions have this technology. Disney is taking the subtle route and not overdoing it.

[@gator9339]

[@onlinegametime]

6:29 I went on the ride twice two weeks ago. The first time we got stuck in the fire room for 30mins it was like a sauna that we had a couple people all most pass out from the intensity heat. At least we got 10 Express tickets to make up for it and I little tour of the in and out of ride with the lights on. The Day after we tried again and we got the exact same seats in the front row and it was so déjà vu that we got stuck again in the same stop in the heat room again but only for 3mins delay until then we got to finish the ride. crazy experience to start of with for 2020

[@monsterhanna6691]

LeagueOfFox I had a similar experience to Disney's Haunted Mansion and Dinosaur rides. I was with my parents and during the scenes where the body was coming out of the coffin and the dinosaur was being eaten, we actually were stuck for what felt like a few minutes and honestly, it was a little creepy. Still, it didn't ruin the experience at all; at least for me.

I live in California so i’ve only ridden the hollywood one, and i had no idea how different the orlando version of the ride was! The ending in my experience has been lackluster a few times- on many occasions smoke effects don’t play and i can recall the projection at the end not displaying correctly and having the timing be off. It’s a shame because the ride up until that point is fun and enjoyable, but the end can be a let down. I had no idea Orlando had such an interesting ending and so many differences compared to hollywood

[@the_humanspider]

[@marinmarinhola]

I also punched a worker at Universal Studios Hollywood during the Van Hellsing Fortress queue back in 2004. I was like 6 years old at the time and my parents thought it was a great idea to take me there. Needless to say, when a worker, in character (and costume), tried to scare me, I socked him right in the mouth. Luckily, he laughed it off (probably because the sheer horror in my face made his day) and I wasn't kicked out of the park.

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

I wonder why they didnt get Brendan Fraser back? He's not doing anything at all lately he could use the exposure. I bet the newer movie wouldn't have bombed if it was him instead of Cruise.

[@ThemeParkHistory]

I know right? How can you not like Brendan Fraser, he was great in The Mummy films and George of the Jungle.

[@AbbyGirlJ]

He did most of his own stunts for the Mummy movies and it basically destroyed his spine, he had to have multiple surgeries over years and years to repair the damage, so I can understand why he wouldn’t be wanting to jump in to another action movie like that. He has also opened up about being sexually assaulted around the time of the mummy movies, and that’s partly why his career kind of suddenly went no where. Still... it would’ve been awesome to have another mummy movie with him, and I would have much preferred him to Tom Cruise

[@kyoko2752]

By the looks of the clips of the Tom Cruise version, the movie takes place in modern day New York, whereas Brandons version seems to take place in the 40's (going off of what Theme Park History said, I actually saw the Florida version shortly after opening but didn't ride it (and also watched the movie as a little kid against my moms wishes)) so his character would've been long dead by then.

I dont see the mummy ride at orlando getting replaced anytime soon its one of the best rides at universal

[@ThemeParkHistory]

I hope it doesn't either.

[@mrshades103189]

And today I learned something , thanks for the video !

[@ThemeParkHistory]

No problem, thank you for watching Puremadness!

[@nickward5130]

I always forget how good the end of this video is. Love your stuff and rewatch pretty regularly. Keep up the awesome work man. Love it

[@Topitopi14]

As always... Amazing video!

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

Last time I was on the Orlando version, two girls asked to sit in between me and my sister because they were too scared to be on the sides lol. Awesome video, love this queue and ride!

[@ThemeParkHistory]

The sides are best part, feels like you get more air when the ride turns into a roller coaster. The queue is also pretty dark, sometimes I feel like I'm going to walk into a wall.

[@exoticxwhitekid2073]

Universal really needs more rides like this, I’m getting close to cancelling my annual pass. I’ve had it since 2004, dont want to but I find myself going less and less cause all the rides are becoming the exact same thing

[@aliciareynolds3342]

It's no wonder I always loved this ride. The engineering behind it is incredible.

[@StarsForward]

This is one of those rides that is surprisingly thrilling! I wasn't expecting what this ride had in store!

[@Boom12]

I've ridden on Singapore's Revenge of the Mummy, and it was an amazing experience all in all, and I'm no coaster fan. And well, I wonder if you could maybe cover another of Universal Studios Singapore's rides, specifically the Battlestar Galactica dueling coasters. That has a rich history that I feel deserves a video on.

[@lolplzlolplz1]

Battlestar Galactica.... Plagued with multiple half year long maintenances due to safety concerns xD Still, an awesome ride but the wait times after the maintenance is horrible since it cut ride capacity in half by reducing the seats per row from 4 to 2. I won't stand in line if it's any more than 40 min for either Human and Cylon. So much so that they totally have forgone the dueling aspect to use 2 ride vehecles at once. Now each side just launches as and when seats are filled, not at the same time. Wonder if Universal can go back to the old dueling aspect or up capacity to 3 per row rather than 2. The new grey paint job over the old classic blue is a head scratcher too.... PS, the channel owner is a busy guy, he might have missed your comment. Might do you some good reposting it xD

[@scawfan75]

Why did Hollywood change their ending of their ride? I remember it use to be a bright room that showed the eclipse separate and destroy Imhotep. After he's destroyed, the room would fill with flames as you rotated and before the door opened to the unloading zone, smoke would shoot at the riders. I miss that ending, is there any info why it changed?

[@EndlessNight025]

scawfan75 I liked the first ending better too. I couldn't find an explanation about why they changed it, but the simplest reason would be that the effect broke, and they either couldn't or never bothered to fix it for some reason.

[@shine311]

I should have read more of the comments, I just asked the same question. THE ECLIPSE.... NOOOOOOO.

[@gator9339]

That sounds like an awesome ending! The lightning flash and sound at the end is kinda anti climatic

[@luuchoo93]

scawfan75 the whole attraction in Hollywood is inferior compared to the Orlando version. Its still fun, but a scaled down, less detailed, worse attraction

I must've ridden this ride at least 5-6 times back in 2014 in Florida and because the lines were short never got to see all the videos and the props. It is one of THE best rides ever! Thank you so much for the background and finally the ride story makes sense to me!

[@ThemeParkHistory]

In my opinion it's still one of the best rides at the park currently. I didn't know anything about the backstory until I did research, you never have to wait long enough to actually wait on line and watch the screens or take in the scenery.

[@dcamaraman939]

I hope you know how much I apretiate you ad the actual SCORES to these already great videos. Thank you!

[@parasikee]

I have rode this ride many times and watched the walk through scenes many times. Now I have just found out that the medjai necklace Brendan stole from the cast member, that that cast member was Reggie. My life is complete. Also, if they take the mummy ride away I will be very disapointed. Great video btw! 👌

[@Blast2224]

Protect Revenge of the Mummy. After Universal raped DISASTER for Fast and Furious: Supercharged, and TWISTER for Jimmy Fallon, I'm so scared for the future of their rides. Where Islands of Adventure has predetermined areas to help the team figure out their next venture, Universal Studios seems to have struggled to think outside the box since Diagon Alley opened. Even now that T2: Battle Across Time 3D has closed, I hope whatever takes its place is an even blend of practical effects, actors, AND screen, and not just another movie in a box. If they ever axe Shrek 4D they should change it to How to Train Your Dragon.

[@DuckandMikeyfan49]

Blast22 Or even better, Shrek should let his swamp to five (later six) teenagers with attitude.

[@iamanonymoushoweveryousayi3163]

Shrek will never surrender to some 18-year old dragon kid. Daddy Shrek already has a dragon, bitch.

[@cherrywoodstudios385]

Good news, Jason Bourne is actually a perfect mix of actors, practical and screens.

I had an absolutely blast of this ride at Hollywood. It was so fun

[@jeromeazbell2767]

There have been at least two changes to the Florida ride in 2018. The flame effect in the treasure room hasn't been running since spring and, I assume, has been removed. Also, the locker facility has just completed upgrade. The former front entrance is now an indoor version of the type of lockers outside Hulk, moving the entrance to the Museum of Antiquities and opening up the space in front of it. Hopefully that means the ride will be around for awhile longer.

[@ThemeParkHistory]

I'm not surprised by the removal of the flame effect, Universal is doing whatever they can to cut back on special effects with their attractions lately. Shame if it's gone, really like the fire. I agree with you, if they changed the lockers that must mean the attractions should be safe for a while.

[@noodle4460]

It should never shut down it's the best ride ever !

my family are primarily disneyland goers, but we’ve been to universal hollywood once or twice in addition. this ride is a favorite amongst us- reminds us all of indy at DL. when we went in 2019, they had a cast member dressed as a mummy jump scaring people in the outdoor queue. my brother and i are both scaredy cats and didn’t want to be jumpscared, so my brother just went up and started talking to him. it was hilarious. mummy had hands crossed over his chest and at one point took one out from a fist to threateningly wave at my brother as he talked.
