Guidelines
for this Attraction. Place your cursor over a symbol for
details:
Stage
One: Preshow
The
preshow, displayed on monitors, consists of clips from the
making of the films. Brendan Frazier and Stephen Sommers
are the focal point as you are cast as extras in "The
Mummy 3". It appears that you are the only extras who
have not run in fear of the strange occurrences on the set.
Stage
Two: The Queue
This
stage, located inside an ancient Egyptian tomb is quite
an entertaining itself. Many interactive stations are scattered
about.
Stage
Two: The Ride
As
you embark on your journey, you enter your 16 victim, er-
passenger mine car. Slowly your car maneuvers into the tomb.
You are warned by a mummy not to enter the Mummy's tomb
because we learn the curse is real. Without hesitation,
Imphotep burst through to silence him. You are have been
warned. You enter the main room of the tomb where a holographic
Imphotep offers you riches beyond your imagination should
you choose to join him. The room comes alive with gold and
riches to make you a king. But Imphotep also warns of your
demise if you stand against him as his Mummy Warriors spring
to life amidst the flames.
Your
car is moves a bit faster but stops just short of crashing
into a stone wall. Wait! Those are scarab beetles pouring
across the walls and into the room. Your car is jolted backwards
to escape. But not for long. Mystical energy swirls in front
of you. It's just enough to distract you, as your car rotates
to the right. Just where did that tunnel leading upward
come from? Imphotep returns. He reveals that your souls
are his. You may think it would be a slow rise up the tunnel,
but here in the tomb you are "dead" wrong. Your
car is propelled upward through Imphotep's mouth, through
smoke, and then the terror really begins.
In
total darkness, the music is fierce, the images are horrifying,
and the speeds are incredible. Miraculously, you've made
it the woman in the control tower thank you. Wait, something's
wrong. She shrivels to a skeleton. Imphotep has claimed
her soul and you as well. The ceiling bursts into flames.
The heat on your face makes you sink into your seat and
you are off again into the darkness.
Another
series of drops, turns, and images encompass your final
moments. But the gods have favored you. You will live to
tell the tale. Brendan Frazier returns to see you off, just
before he is trapped by the Mummy's Curse.

Universal Orlando: REVENGE OF THE MUMMY - TIP
This
is not for the faint of heart and those with back problems.
The line will be very long, so be prepared to wait. There
is a Single Rider option which will save much time, but
you will bypass the preshow and the queue. The seats are
tight. (Four rows of four). The harness comes down over
your lap and will fit tightly. We have read that extra-large
guests may experience a problem sitting in these seats and
may not be able to ride. The back of the car offer the most
intense ride, but the front left will offer the best viewing
of Imphotep at the beginning and at the end. Cameras are
forbidden. You will need to leave them with a companion
or get a locker outside the attraction. Our biggest tip
as always is, "Know your Child". Just because
your
child may be tall enough to ride, only you know if they
can handle such an intense experience.
