Revenge of the Mummy
Revenge of the Mummy, officially named Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride, is an enclosed roller coaster located at Universal Studios Florida, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Universal Studios Singapore. It is themed to The Mummy film franchise, and the ride features linear induction motors (LIMs) that launch riders to a maximum speed of 40 mph (64 km/h) in a matter of seconds. The Florida and Singapore locations have the same track layout, although each location offers a slightly different virtual experience. Manufactured by Premier Rides, the attractions feature track switches installed by Dynamic Structures. Universal Creative and ITEC Entertainment Corporation created the theme at each location, with Adirondack Studios responsible for several of the unique elements implemented at the Singapore location.
In 2002, Universal Parks & Resorts began planning the design of a dark ride based on the popular Mummy movie franchise. For construction to begin, Universal Studios Florida closed Kongfrontation on September 8, 2002, and Universal Studios Hollywood closed E.T. Adventure on March 14, 2003. On May 21, 2004, Revenge of the Mummy opened at Universal Studios Florida. The installation at Universal Studios Hollywood opened a month later on June 25, 2004.
In December 2008, Resorts World Sentosa, which now encompasses Universal Studios Singapore, announced a Revenge of the Mummy ride would be built at the park, due to open in 2010. In contrast to the previous two installations, the one at Universal Studios Singapore was cheaper, reportedly costing only US$20 million instead of US$90 million. The ride officially opened on March 18, 2010.
Revenge of the Mummy opened at Universal Studios Florida on May 21, 2004. Linear induction motor (LIM) technology is used to move trains through various dark ride scenes. It features three separate LIM launches throughout the course of the three-minute ride, including one that propels riders up to a maximum speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). The track is 2,200-foot (670 m) long consisting of five track switches, including a 180 degree turntable, 80-degree banked turns, and a 50-degree angle of descent. At the end of the ride there is an area where guests may purchase a photo of themselves taken during the ride from a Mummy-themed gift shop titled "Sahara Traders", which replaced Kongfrontation's "Safari Outfitters" gift shop.
The six-story, 62,000-square-foot (5,800 m2) building housing the roller coaster was previously home to one of Universal's landmark attractions, Kongfrontation. Homages to the Kong attraction can be found in several areas within Revenge of the Mummy, including a golden statue of King Kong in the second scene of the ride and props in "Sahara Traders" placing Carl Denham in the role of the Museum of Antiquities curator wanting to put Imhotep the Living Mummy on display as the "Ninth Wonder of the World". The slabs used to construct the building were the largest of its kind ever used. Track pieces from Kongfrontation were built into the building during construction and parts of the track still remain within the building. In order to compensate for space, part of the building was excavated several feet deep for the ride's climactic drop.
Guests enter the ride by entering the massive Museum of Antiquities facade, browsing through the film setup of a fictional sequel titled Revenge of the Mummy. Some of the film's props, molds, and concept drawings are on display inside. TVs around the studio play a video explaining how the original Mummy film was made, and most importantly how the film's fictional curse seemingly was proven to be real while filming, with various accidents and plagues striking the cast and crew. Brendan Fraser is skeptical, though, and refuses to wear the medjai symbol that the crew and locals are convinced will protect them from the curse. Fraser steals crew member Reggie's medjai necklace and demands a coffee (which craft services would not serve him before since he was not wearing the medjai symbol). Reggie injures himself in a freak accident later in the video, and then is seen being trapped inside a sarcophagus prop in the background near the end of the video. The inside queue morphs into a 1940s archaeological dig inside an Egyptian tomb, where guests climb to the second floor to board mine carts utilizing individual lap bars.
As the ride begins, the mine carts move into another room inside Imhotep's tomb, where Reggie (a "Revenge of the Mummy" crew member who was missing on the set) is seen partly mummified and warns the riders: "Are you insane?! Get out of here! The curse is real; this whole place is a trap! He's after your souls!" Before Reggie can finish, Imhotep then comes out of a sarcophagus, prompting Reggie to desperately instruct the riders, "Look for the medjai symbol. It's your only hope!", but Imhotep cuts him off, shouting, "Silence!", and sucking out Reggie's soul, and then reminds the riders, "With your souls, I shall rule for all eternity!"
The cars next move into a second room where there is treasure on the left and right sides of the car. Imhotep appears from the sand in front of a tomb mural and tempts riders, "Serve me and savor riches beyond measure". Light appears across the room, revealing treasure around the room. Imhotep also sternly states, "or refuse, and savor a more bitter treasure." Soldier mummies appear in front of the treasure as he utters an Egyptian curse: "Akudei makrraken ra!" ("Destroy them!" in the Ancient Egyptian language). The cart then quickly moves into another room where the mine cart approaches the first launch and "hits" a wall and scarab beetles come "pouring out" of a wall in front of the riders. The cart launches backwards as a screaming sound effect is heard. The cart then drops into another room where it stops.
