Revenge of the Mummy

This is my favorite ride in the entire park! The ride is so much fun and well put together. The lines can get long but if you are willing to wait it is definitely worth waiting for! I like that it is not a virtual reality ride! It is all very entertaining, the waiting area is very dark and cool and decorated as if you are walking through a pyramids thumb. The gift shop has a lot of mummy memorabilia that is not obnoxiously priced! All in all it is worth it in my opinion to go on this ride! I went when it was the slow season so I was able to ride it 5 times :)

Awesome ride scary fast and dark kids love it can’t wait to go again. Cristina loved it we will cone again and adain

This ride was pretty amazing!!! Let me start by saying we went on a Saturday, February 13^th to be exact, so there was a long line for us common folks (people who didn’t purchase an Express Pass). Though the line was long and the wait was at about 35 mins, it moved pretty quickly. There are just a lot of unexpected things that comes with the ride. All in all a super duper fun ride!!!

Good ride, not my favorite, but definitely worth going on. I’m not a big fan of the movies so that probably makes it harder to appreciate the ride.
My wife, 11 year old son and my 21 year old son enjoyed it even more than me

GREAT indoor coaster/​thrill ride! Sooo cinematic! Detail to props. are AMAZING! looong line/​short ride, but definitely worth the wait!

It seems cheesy as you wait on line but — it’s actually a lot of fun! It’s the perfect blend of a roller coaster plus visual effects.
There is always a line it seems unless you go early /​late enough. Definitely recommended!

One of the best rides ever. If you’re stuck waiting in line, pay attention to the interview playing on the TVs overhead. The ride has neat elements that incorporate the interview. This attraction starts off as a slow ride and turns into a roller-​coaster. The ride is all inside and does not invert, but there are drops and some slightly scary parts, so children might get scared. Definitely recommend this ride! Great ride to go on over and over again.

This ride is really fun. Fire, drops, twists, and turns, sometimes in the dark.
This is a popular one so there will likely be a wait for it. It was definitely not worth the 2 hours in line that we waited. But that’s what you get when you come to Universal Studios between Christmas and NYE.
Waiting in this line was one of the worst waits of the entire park. The line winds and turns and you think you’re at the end, but Universal Studios tricks you again and again. Instead, you keep entering new rooms of more waiting in line. It was never-​ending.
As with most of the better rides at Universal you will need to get a locker before you get in line. You would think when they started this locker idea, they would have spread the lockers out a bit more instead of stuffing them into a tiny tent. It was a mess for us. The lockers are fingerprint activated. TIP: Remember which finger you used to open the locker!

I am so freaking obsessed with this ride!!!
The line was so short, why!?! I don’t understand, but we just walked through the line!
The lap bars were super comfortable. You get a really good scare from those mummy’s.
The launch was super exhilarating (better than the Rip Ride Rockit drop) and the second drop was incredibly scary.
I will always keep on hopping back into the line and re riding it, best ride in the universe!!!

This ride is so jerky and you have no idea where it is going next to position yourself. I agree with the pain physician’s review that this can be a dangerous ride. I now have a bruised rib and it hurts to recline. All 4 of us felt pain somewhere after this including my 9 and 11 year olds. My daughter came off this in tears from being hurt and scared. My husband and son liked it despite the bang ups which is the only reason I didn’t give 1*

Space Mountain used to be my favorite ride of all time, but now it is absolutely THIS. So much, this.
Don’t be fool by it being inside. This is not a motion simulator ride. This is the real deal. You will scream, you will clutch anything within reach, and above all, you will be thrilled! For me, the best part about being the only one in my friend group who rides roller coasters, i can always go in the single rider line and get right on. Amazing.
You’re in a car with about 7ish other people and it doesn’t take long before the fun begins. There are screens with CGI, real life mummies, twists, turns, going backward, fire, bugs, spins, and loops. All in the dark. For me, the darkness is what makes it. You literally have no idea what’s coming next and that makes it all the more exciting.

What could be better than a high speed roller coaster themed to the Mummy movies?
This was my favorite ride at Universal Studios. This is mostly a dark ride except for when the pyrotechnics lights up the scene you are in. And after a few scenes, it turns you around and shoots you fast up a hill for some airtime followed by some fast twists and turns. Then when you think you are finished, you get a few more twists and turns.
Definitely enjoyed this one, even more than the Escape from Gringotts.

I am a big fan of the Mummy film series (and my fiancé and I recently watched the films together) and really enjoyed the Revenge of the Mummy ride at Universal Studios. There may be a line when you’re visiting, so I highly recommend getting fast passes for Universal Studios to bypass any lines!
The ride is a high-​intensity rollercoaster ride (there are so many of those at Universal Studios) and you will have to check in your loose belongings into a locker outside the ride (I wasn’t too happy doing that, as I felt weird not having my phone or wallet with me, but it ended up being secure and safe). It’s very bumpy with tons of twists and turns.
The ride is pretty fun — replete with fire (which actually feels quite warm), those scary scarab beetles that burrow through skin, scenes from the underground tomb in the movie, and those ruthless mummy guards that chase after you.
It’s a lot of fun and was definitely toward the top of my list of rides I wanted to do while visiting Universal Studios!

It’s a horrible ride.
You can hardly see during the ride.
The ride is extremely rough and not enjoyable.
Anyone with neck/​back issues or vertigo, I strongly advise against going on this ride.
You are almost guaranteed a whiplash injury.
P. S. I’m a pain physician !

Since I have annual passes at Universal, I often forget to check in or write about my frequent experiences inside the Universal Orlando theme parks.
BUT this is my absolute favorite ride of all rides! It is an indoor roller coaster with a story and a thrill. And it is across from a really cool bar. So enjoy the ride then grab a drink!
Tip — get in the single rider line for little to no wait!

Third ride we rode at the park, and this one was probably one of my favorites. I can appreciate the cheesiness of The Mummy, but in no way do I genuinely enjoy the movie, so anyone who rides this is bound to enjoy it. It’s indoors, and involves a lot of production. Since this was my first time at Universal, I was pretty surprised by just how many effects were put into it. Going in, I wasn’t expecting anything, but what I got was plenty of CGI effects, fire, whooshing wind, spinning coaster, etc. Sure, there are some cheesy effects, but they don’t take away from the overall experience.
First off, you are taken inside through a maze of Egyptian-​inspired tombs. And it was neeeeat. You see hieroglyphics, statues, and treasures. I was pretty into Egyptian art in college, and I was running my hands over everything I could touch. They do such a good job of immersing you in the whole experience that you are already really stoked to ride it by the time you get to the (mining carts) coaster.
PROS:
–Not a bad seat! I sat in the front a few times (great effects up close) and also the back (awesome wind speed, and still great effects).
–Love the Egyptian tomb entrance, with all its images and treasures.
–Loved the fire effects. Sooo neat.
–You wait mostly inside, so you’re out of the heat and sun.
–Easy to follow the plot (which definitely wasn’t the case for every ride we rode).
–You can keep your stuff with you, if you want (by your feet).
CONS:
–It lasts about 3 minutes, but feels sooo much shorter.
–It jerks at times, but it wasn’t too unmanageable.
THE VERDICT:
It has some deep drops, some sharp turns, a few trajectory changes, and some going-​towards-​a-​wall-​but-​not-​actually-​hitting-​it moments. The whole ceiling catches aflame, and you feel the heat bursting towards you. (Was anyone else reminded of Supernatural when the ceiling caught on fire?) We rode this ride two or three more times that weekend, and would have ridden it more times if there was the time. There’s always next time, though! I didn’t find it scary at all, but some kids probably would.

The only bad part of this ride was Brendan Fraser’s poor acting. He was scarier than the mummy.
This is a roller coaster, so if you’re not a fan of that then you might not want to ride this. I am not an avid roller coaster rider but I rode it because my husband wanted to.
I built my way up to more intense roller coasters type rides (I started with the Railroad ride at Disney, a few others then Space Mountain) but it was still scary for me. It is similar to Space Mountain but more intense and bigger drops. It was fun and we rode it 2 additional times.

Love this ride and one of my favorites in the park.
Even if there is a line, it moves at a pretty good pace and you will not have to wait too long.
At first you think this will be a slow ride but it soon picks up and it turns into a dark ride coaster and has some surprises while you are on it.
Love it and will ride it again.

The perfect thrill attraction. It’s been around for a few years but is still great because it’s a very well constructed ride. It delivers scares by violating your expectations of what should happen — that is, surprising you. It’s an indoor roller coaster type ride, but I enjoyed it even though I usually don’t like roller coasters. You can enjoy the attraction without having seen the movie The Mummy, although it will be better if you have.
I don’t want to give too much away, but I loved when the entire ceiling was covered in flame!!!
If you enjoy thrill rides, you really need to hit this one.

This ride was a surprise hit for me! I wasn’t really sure what to expect from it, and actually might have skipped it altogether had we not been on a mission to ride pretty much every single ride at Universal Studios. Lines were crazy short, so we just pretty much raced through the entirety of the stuff that they show while you’re waiting in line to set up the story, and I kind of had to piece the premise of the ride together for myself.
I think the basic idea is that they were planning on filming another Mummy movie in these old ruins, and we were «extras» on the set, but then the mummy curse turns out to be REEEAL! ;)
The ride is a simulator ride on a track, so I didn’t expect it to be too exciting but it really feels more like an indoor roller coaster! Lots of fast twists and turns, lots of stuff happening in the dark, and an especially surprising encounter with the scarab beetles that involved a rapid backing up of the cart that I’ve never really experienced in a ride before.
This was definitely an exciting ride that I would totally recommend to anyone who likes a bit of a thrill. The graphics are a smidge dated at this point, but it’s still a lot of fun!
