Probably Singapore because it’s a clone of Orlando but enhanced. It also doesn’t have the tacky “this is a movie set” premise.
yea I actaully pefer the theme in Hollywood’s. Orlando’s theme is kind of stupid with the movie set thing. Singapore has the theme of Hollywood’s and the ride of Orlando’s. Definitely Singapore.

I voted for Singapore. Best ride system combined with the best story. I really like their first scene with the Mummy before the treasure room.

I've only ridden the US versions, of which Orlando is the clear winner. I like the brief dark ride portion at the beginning of USH's, but I feel that the eclipse storyline is somehow even less comprehensible than the movie set plot. The former is simpler, but the axed ending effects make it completely unclear how Imhotep is defeated. At least Orlando reinforces the importance of the Medjai symbol multiple times on the ride itself.
I'm a Florida native, and the first time I went to USH I remember pushing family members to ride Mummy because of how great the Orlando version is. I was pretty embarrassed after the ride was over ("The Orlando ride really is awesome, I swear!").

Orlando's opened in May 2004, and Hollywood's opened a month later.
Orlando’s opened first in May 2004, Hollywood’s opened a month later in June 2004.

The Hollywood version is a prime example of the phrase, "blink and you'll miss it".

why are they so different layout wise? is there limited space over there?
correct! the Orlando building has way more space because it housed the flagship ride Kongfrontation which was a huge ride. Hollywood’s version was housed in the ET soundstage. that ride was much smaller and there is a lot less space in that building. I say, Hollywood did good with the space they only had available. Yes, the others are longer but that’s simply because the rides that were there before had much more room.

I've done them all and I think Hollywood's is actually my favorite. The backwards portion is just too much fun.
that backwards section is awesome! you can't beat that honestly! it's so much fun.
for anyone that voted the Orlando version, i’m guessing you haven’t even tried to look at singapore’s. One thing that Hollywood is way better at is the story. Orlando has that dumb movie set theme that I just don’t get. It ruins the thought of actaully going in a mummy’s tomb and facing him which hollywood’s does well. there are parts with humor like at the end with Brandon Fraser, but the theme in Hollywood is you’re actually going into the mummies tomb and it’s much more scary and intimidating. I just don’t like how Orlando’s is like you’re going on a movie set and you’re the actors, it’s dumb. Singapore is clearly the winner here, that amazing facade, the story of Hollywood’s, and the ride of Orlando’s. Wish people actually took the time to see which is really the best.

If you already determined the results why take up space with a poll?

I'm apparently in the minority here, but I really love the movie set plot. Just a shame that it is only fully communicated through preshows videos in a part of the queue the line is never backed up enough to see.
But the idea of filming a movie with actual antiques only to awaken a true mummy's curse is really cool and unique to me
